Australian streaming platform Stan has released a trailer for the upcoming comedy series Minx.

Set in 1970s Los Angeles, the series sees Guardians of the Galaxy actress Ophelia Lovibond star as Joyce, a young feminist who joins forces with a low-rent publisher, played by Jake Johnson, to create the first erotic magazine for women.

The pair navigate their way through LA’s porn scene with the goal of ‘levelling the playing field between the sexes’.

The start of the trailer sees Joyce unsuccessfully pitching a traditional feminist magazine to a group of publishers at a conference. 

A defeated Joyce is then approached by a porn publisher named Doug, who convinces her to join forces with him to launch Minx, an erotic magazine for women, through his company Bottom Dollar Publications.

She meets Bambi, a scantily clad blonde who introduces herself as the ‘centrefold coordinator’, and the pair collaborate on a raunchy photo shoot with a male model.

While Joyce admits to being ‘in over’ her head, she remains determined in her quest to ‘level the playing field between the sexes’ by objectifying men too.

What results is a publication that divides the community, with some describing it as ‘filth’ with ‘no place’ in the community, while others view it as revolutionary. 

Minx is produced by Paul Feig, who directed the 2011 comedy Bridesmaids.

Ellen Rapoport created the series and takes on the role as executive producer.

‘I’m so grateful to Feigco, Lionsgate and HBO Max for seeing the potential in this story from the first time I showed up in their offices with stacks of ’70s porn magazines,’ Rapoport said in April last year.

‘Making Minx with our ridiculously talented cast was a dream come true and I’m just thrilled that I get to do it again.’
