HBOMax removing MinxOnMax & LoveLife has many fuming 😤 'Not renewing... sucks but is a regular practice. Killing IN production/post is just a level of money burn I can't fathom.' 'Streaming era dystopia gonna be f**king us over for a long time.'
HBO Max has canceled Love Life and Minx, in a move that has drawn criticism online. The news is the latest in of a row of cost-cutting measures. Under the leadership of CEO David Zaslav, Warner Bros. Discovery - which owns HBO Max - has told investors it will make $3.5 billion in cost savings as the result of the merger between WarnerMedia and Discovery. The approach to cost-cutting has led to a number of cancelations, perhaps most notably the high-profile DC adaptation Batgirl.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Now, Variety reports that Love Life and Minx have been canceled by HBO Max, and will be removed from the platform. In the case of Minx, the 1970s comedy starring Ophelia Lovibond and Jake Johnson, the series is in its last week of filming season 2 and plans to complete production. Lionsgate TV, which produces Minx, will shop the show to other platforms.
Although these cuts are targeted at animation, HBO Max has also removed live-action dramas like Vinyl, which had its debut episode directed by Martin Scorsese, and Mrs. Fletcher starring Kathryn Hahn. These latest cancelations signal that HBO Max could be removing more high-profile series, as Minx and Love Life are joined by Westworld and The Nevers. Considering the investment that went into Westworld in particular, the HBO Max TV landscape now looks more uncertain than ever.
Why The Love Life Cancelation Is So Disappointing While it sounds at least somewhat hopeful that Minx could be revived elsewhere, the removal of Love Life is a big disappointment. In its second installment, the romcom anthology solidified William Jackson Harper as a top-tier romantic lead who showed tremendous chemistry with Jessica Williams. The season was considered a charming delight, and, even if no new episodes are produced, many will hope the show can resurface someday.
