After being canceled by Max and saved by Starz, Flirt finally returns for season 2 in July. And in Flirt Season 2 trailer released today, Jake Johnson says the sexy magazine (and the series itself) is back and we’re better than ever.
“A lot of people counted us out, but we’re back and we’re better than ever,” his lanky character Doug declares in the opening moments of the trailer, sitting on a bright red carpet. Elizabeth Perkins’ new character Constance is seen with Doug, and Ophelia Lovibond’s Joyce makes another appearance, saying that the porn business isn’t nearly as hard as men think (she gives Elle Woods from the ’90s 70).
Things are looking up for Joyce, too, as she prepares to sign a publishing deal with some eager corporate executives in the next shot. “An iconic editor needs an iconic editor,” says the big wig. Now, she and Doug are “50/50” partners in the business—well, actually, 51/49, as she notes—and everyone is happy to be back in the steamy action. Check out the gleeful debauchery in the full trailer above.
Flirt Season 2 premieres Friday, July 21 on Starz, marking the first season with its new network. It will first debut at midnight on July 21st on the Starz app and then air on the Starz network on July 21st at 9/8c in the US and Canada. The same schedule will be repeated throughout the season.
