Minx Season 2 to return on Lionsgate Play on 6 October
Mumbai: Your favorite feminist show is back with some new twists. Lionsgate Play is set to premiere the second season of Minx, with global icons Jake Johnson and Ophelia Lovibond reprising their roles in the series. Minx takes us down the journey of Doug and Joyce as they open the first erotic magazine for women. Amid societal protests and navigating the cut-throat, money-hungry industry, Joyce and Doug fight for the survival of the magazine. With Jake and Ophelia returning, Oscar Montoya and Jessica Lowe also return as Minx Season 2 premieres exclusively on Lionsgate Play on 6 October.
Talking about where his character Doug is in Season 2, Jake Johnson said, “At the end of Season One, Doug gives the magazine to Joyce. So at this point, Doug is no longer part of Minx. He’s just part of the bottom dollar. And I think when season two starts, Doug instantly has regrets because you know, Minx makes him a lot of money. And it’s really good for his business. So instantly, when Doug starts at season two, it’s how do I get Minx back? How do I get Joyce back? And how do we get this team rolling again?”
Minx Season 2 is coming to your screens exclusively on Lionsgate Play on 6 October.

Tata Play Binge adds Pocket Films to micro drama platform Shots
Over 210 micro dramas and 220 hours of content strengthen short form play
MUMBAI: Short stories are getting shorter and sharper. Tata Play Binge is doubling down on snackable storytelling, adding Pocket Films to its micro-drama hub Shots as it looks to capture India’s fast-growing appetite for quick-consumption content. The move expands Shots into a deeper, more diverse catalogue, now featuring over 210 micro-dramas and 220 hours of short-format programming across genres such as action, drama and thriller. The content spans Hindi and key regional languages, reflecting the increasingly local yet mobile-first nature of viewing habits.
Pocket Films brings with it a library of emotionally driven, culturally rooted narratives, including micro-dramas like Chaturanga, Vidushi, Maasa, Silent Cycle and Pilibhit, alongside short films such as Lock-up, Dubki and The Disguise. The addition builds on existing partnerships with Bullet and Stage, strengthening Shots as a one-stop destination for bite-sized storytelling.
Designed for vertical viewing, the platform leans into scroll-friendly interfaces, auto-play sequencing and seamless discovery mirroring the habits of always-on, digital-first audiences. The content remains ad-supported and is available within the Tata Play Binge app at no additional cost.
The integration also sits within a broader aggregation strategy. Tata Play Binge currently offers access to 30 plus OTT services including Prime Video, JioHotstar, Zee5 and Apple TV+ through a single subscription and interface, aiming to simplify fragmented streaming consumption.
As platforms race to keep up with shrinking attention spans, Tata Play Binge’s bet is straightforward: when stories get shorter, the catalogue needs to get bigger and faster.
