In a recent interview, Mindy Kaling almost made a tell-all revelation of what fans would be seeing in Season 4 of the American romantic comedy TV series when it airs again later this year no longer in the Fox network but on the Hulu streaming service.
Sometime in mid-May, online video service Hulu rescued Season 4 of “The Mindy Project” from cancellation after Fox did not renew the show for a fourth season. The streaming service subsequently ordered 26 episodes for the upcoming fourth season of the popular TV show although it has yet to make an official announcement on the possible release date of Season 4.
Mindy Kaling, who plays Mindy Lahiri in the show, hinted that there might be an engagement or a wedding between Danny and Mindy in the upcoming season as millions of fans of the show would have wanted it.
She later on backtracked on her tease by saying that she actually does not know because she is just wrangling with her writers, who comprise her very small staff.
Mindy added that there is just too much content that her writers can think of for the 26 episodes of the show so they are trying to pick the best of them, which they know would click well with the loyal and avid fans of the show.
She also said that she is excited that the show is now with Hulu because she has had a relationship with the streaming service for a while. Mindy commended the service for being very supportive of “The Mindy Project” and for taking on shows with people who do not like to do network TV including Jason Reitman and James Franco, notes Refinery 29.
Fundamentally appealing
Despite its cancellation of the show, Fox did the loyal fans of “The Mindy Project” a huge favor by offering all the episodes of the three seasons online as part of the transition of the show to Hulu.
Reports have it that Fox decided to cancel Season 4 of “The Mindy Project” because it only averaged 2.3 million viewers during its Season 3, which was down from the 3.4 million average viewership of Season 2.
According to critics, “The Mindy Project” is fundamentally appealing and the show is simply an American twist on Bridget Jones.
It’s a story of the professionally successful OB-GYNE Mindy Lahiri who is almost a mess when it comes to the romance department although she’s always trying. And that’s where the quality and hilariousness of the romantic-comedy TV series really set in.
Evoking romance and comedy
Mindy’s partner in the show is OB-GYN colleague-turned-boyfriend Dr. Danny Castellano, who is played by Chris Messina, and some of their scenes together evoke the ingredients of both romance and comedy that people really deserves to see on television.
