Given that the cancellation happened very close to the completion of filming Season 2, the production company doesn’t plan to stop now. Moreover, as per TVLine, Lionsgate is now looking for other streaming platforms to revive the canceled series.

The 44-year-old actor also appreciated the crew’s efforts towards the series. He wrote, “The crew really killed it this season. Blake McClure crushed as DP. The set design/wardrobe/everything. It was truly impressive & worth watching. I am eager to find a new platform for these episodes.”

Fans Unhappy With Warner Bros. Discovery’s Cancellations

Minx is among several HBO shows that have been canceled abruptly and removed from HBO Max despite being a success among viewers. The network recently confirmed that the superhero Victorian drama, The Nevers won’t be renewed for Season 2. Moreover, the second half of its debut season might never air on the network. Yet, one of these canceled titles that have taken viewers aback is the popular sci-fi hit series Westworld. Although fans were disappointed at its cancellation, HBO hasn’t yet confirmed a reason for the same.
