THE MINDY PROJECT’s second life — on Hulu — is just around the corner.
Almost immediately after the comedy was canceled at Fox, rumors started circulating that Hulu was looking to revive the series. It took only nine days for the move to become official, and the show was even able to come back as the traditional fall season kicked off.
The season 4 premiere picks up immediately where season 3 ended: after Danny discovered Mindy never told her parents about their relationship — and after he made it clear he doesn’t have a desire to get married again — he is in India, on a mysterious mission.
As Danny’s away, Mindy goes on her own journey. In “While I Was Sleeping,” she dreams what life might be like if she was in a relationship with someone a bit more similar to herself.
I spoke with THE MINDY PROJECT showrunner Matt Warburton about the show’s move, creating the “male Mindy,” Danny at “his most weird and internal and neurotic,” and more…

THE MINDY PROJECT: Matt Warburton Teases Tonight’s Return

After months off the air, THE MINDY PROJECT is back tonight with back-to-back episodes that kick off the sophomore year’s final eight episodes.
“The great thing about coming back and having eight episodes, basically in a row, starting with the two that are going to air [tonight], is that pushing off from the big kiss in the last episode we aired, we knew we were going to have exactly eight episodes to play with the fallout of that moment,” THE MINDY PROJECT showrunner Matt Warburton pointed out. “And starting [tonight] it’s the first act of that eight episode mini-series that tell the ups and downs of the crazy fallout from this one moment that our fans have been waiting for.”
Because the Danny/Mindy kiss was a moment many fans had been waiting a long time to witness, the writers debated whether the show should pick up immediately in the aftermath of the kiss or if there should be a time jump.
