Hulu’s Original Series Will Be Released Weekly
New episodes of its original series will come out once a week this fall, the same way they would on a broadcast network, Hulu announced on Sunday.
Hulu is a newfangled streaming service, but it still believes in releasing TV episodes the old-fashioned way: One at a time.
Just in case you were wondering when we were going to get a chance to see Mindy Kaling on Hulu with new episodes of “The Mindy Project”, we now have an answer for you: Tuesday, September 15.
Hulu is also debuting a fourth season of the canceled Fox sitcom “The Mindy Project“. “And I think if we really change the show too much and made it more risqué and put it more on a tilt towards stuff you might find on HBO or Showtime, we would maybe turn off some of our core viewers”.
Although Barinholtz joked this new freedom would lead to “full penetrative sex to open and close the episode”, the creative team promised that the tone of the show would not shift dramatically with the increased creative freedom. “The show can breath a bit more and…it’s going to let everybody shine even more”. And in the season premiere premiere, MIndy “explores what would have happened had she never met Danny” and wakes up next to Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who plays a Real Housewives reality-TV producer. Garrett Dillahunt will play a doctor who replaces Mindy at the practice while she’s on maternity leave; comedienne Fortune Feimster will recur as his sister, a nurse at the practice.
Mindy also said that the Fox-friendly version – without just saying things, but insinuating instead – was “harder to write” and a challenge that she actually enjoyed more. “It’s brought out really amusing sides of Mindy and Danny’s personalities, which is so much of what’s fun about the show”, Kaling says. So, what do we now know about the now-Hulu show, The Mindy Project?
The process will apply to “The Mindy Challenge”, which joins Hulu fold for its fourth season after being canned by Fox, in addition to “Informal”, “The Hotwives of Las Vegas”, “The Awesomes” and “RocketJump: The Present”. “I feel personally – I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to the show”. And 26 episodes is more than I’ve done on any series I’ve worked on. “If Tina had sold 30 Rock this year, I don’t think it would be on a network”. “These people are truly masters of their streaming domain”, said Erwich.
