Mindy Kaling is set to make a triumphant return to Hulu with her upcoming comedy series, Murray Hill. The Disney-owned streaming platform secured the rights to the ensemble show after a competitive bidding process, offering a script-to-series commitment for the project.
Murray Hill will be based in the Manhattan neighborhood of the same name and will revolve around the lives of five ambitious twenty-somethings who are dedicated to their careers while navigating the complexities of personal fulfillment. The series will be produced by Warner Bros. TV, as part of Kaling's overall deal with the studio.
Kaling, known for her work on hit shows like 'The Mindy Project' and 'Four Weddings and a Funeral,' will be taking on multiple roles in Murray Hill. She will be writing the script, serving as an executive producer through her production company Kaling International, and collaborating with Howard Klein of 3 Arts Entertainment.
This project marks a homecoming of sorts for Kaling, as Hulu previously picked up 'The Mindy Project' after its cancellation by Fox, running for three additional seasons on the platform. Kaling's creative endeavors extend beyond Murray Hill, with a Netflix comedy series featuring Kate Hudson in development, inspired by the life of Jeanie Buss, president of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Additionally, Kaling is involved in the production of 'The Sex Lives of College Girls' on HBO Max, with the third season scheduled for release later this year. Her diverse portfolio showcases her versatility as a writer, producer, and creator in the entertainment industry.
Represented by CAA and 3 Arts, Kaling continues to make waves in the television landscape with her unique storytelling and ability to connect with audiences across different platforms. Fans can look forward to Murray Hill and other exciting projects from this talented and prolific artist in the near future.
