After much hewing and hawing, Fox finally announced that "The Mindy Project" is cancelled but all is not lost as Hulu is seen to pick up new season for the series. Meanwhile, netizens took to social media to react violently to the bad news.
"Universal TV - which owns TMP and has a vested interest in seeing it cross the syndication-friendly, 100-episode threshold - is talking to Hulu about a multi-season pickup of the acclaimed comedy," TVLine said.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Hulu is a "logical suitor" for multiple seasons after Fox cancelled "The Mindy Project" because the network already owns the streaming rights to all of the show's episodes."
"We're entering a frantic annual three-day period of TV broadcasters making big decisions, so expect a bunch of series orders and verdicts on existing show," the article said.
However, Mindy Kaling appeared to be unmoved by the announcement that "The Mindy Kaling" is cancelled as she shared on Instagram a clip of a huge river Montana, and a wink at the end. She captioned the video, "Hey guys, I'm in Montana, is anything happening in LA? #themindyproject."
"Kaling certainly doesn't look unhappy. Does she know something fans don't? Like the possibility that Mindy - owned by producing studio Universal Television, not Fox - could get a fourth season somewhere else?" USA Today noted.
Meanwhile, People collected fans' reaction on Twitter after Fox cancelled "The Mindy Project."
One tweeted, "In any case, I hope this means Hulu will retitle it UNBREAKABLE MINDY LAHIRI."
Another said, "I wasn't gonna go out tonight, but Fox cancelled "The Mindy Project," so now I'm ordering drinks. Your move, Hulu."
A Mindy Kaling fan commented, "No one could pull of a brightly patterned vest over a long-sleeved shirt dress like Mindy Lahiri. No one. #HuluSaveMindy."
One fan is bummed about the cancellation as she wants to see the continuation of the huge cliffhanger at the end of "The Mindy Kaling" season 3, "how could they cancel mindy project?!?!?! if i don't get to see that half indian half italian baby i will actually explode."
