The Mindy Project is an American romantic comedy television series created by and starring Mindy Kaling that began airing on Fox in September 2012 and finished its six season-run on Hulu in November 2017.
The series follows obstetrician/gynecologist, Mindy Lahiri (Mindy Kaling) as she tries to balance her personal and professional life, surrounded by quirky co-workers in a small medical practice in New York City. The character was inspired by Kaling's own mother, an OB/GYN. Mindy explores life with the help of her co-workers: Danny Castellano (Chris Messina), her best friend and love interest, whose religious sensibilities occasionally cause some tension; Jeremy Reed (Ed Weeks), an English physician who manages the practice; Peter Prentice (Adam Pally), another physician who was a fraternity jock while attending Dartmouth; Morgan Tookers (Ike Barinholtz), a wacky, yet lovable registered nurse and an ex-con; Tamra Webb (Xosha Roquemore), a blunt nurse; and Beverley Janoszewski (Beth Grant), the libidinous older office receptionist.
