“Mindy has always been a beloved member of the Hulu family and we know her millions of fans will be eager to find out what Mindy still has in store for the next chapter,” said Hulu in a statement.
Mindy Kaling will return as OB/GYN Mindy Lahiri in the new season, joined by Chris Messina, Ed Weeks, Ike Barinholtz, Beth Grant, and Xosha Roquemore. Adam Pally departed the show in Season 3.The Mindy Project debuted in 2012 with 4.6 million viewers, but the number fell to just over 2 million by this spring’s Season 3 finale. Nevertheless, the fans who are still watching The Mindy Project have been loyal.
While The Mindy Project is the only network series so far this season to get revived, several others (including NBC’s Constantine) are still seeking new homes.
The Mindy Project feels like a natural fit for Hulu’s growing original programming slate. The site picked up all previous episodes of the show in a deal last year, and according to them it’s been a “top show” among their subscribers ever since.
Besides The Mindy Project Season 4, Hulu also has J.J. Abrams’ 11/22/63, Amy Poehler’s Difficult People, Jason Reitman’s Casual, and Jason Katims’ The Way coming up. But so far Hulu hasn’t managed to garner the same buzz that competitor Netflix has.
A premiere date for The Mindy Project Season 4 has not been set. Watch a brief promo announcing the move below:
