LOS ANGELES: Days after its cancelation on FOX, the single-camera comedy The Mindy Project has been picked up by Hulu for its original programming slate.

Hulu is currently the exclusive streaming home to the series’ past three seasons, which were acquired in a library deal with NBCUniversal last year. All future episodes of the show will be available exclusively on the online video service. The comedy, which was created by and stars actress and writer Mindy Kaling, premiered on FOX in 2012 but was canceled on May 6. Hulu nabbed the series in a deal with producer Universal Television.

“Mindy has been a beloved member of the Hulu family, so this deal is a natural extension of our relationship,” said Craig Erwich, the senior VP and head of content at Hulu. “With so many of her fans already catching up and tuning in to the series on Hulu, we know her millions of fans will be eager to find out what Mindy has in store for the next chapter.”

“I am thrilled The Mindy Project has found a new home on Hulu, where so many of our fans are already watching the show. It’s such an exciting place to be,” Kaling said.

Universal Television’s Bela Bajaria stated: “We are proud of the fresh, hilarious, smart storytelling on The Mindy Project. Mindy, along with the writers and actors, surprise us every week. They have made us laugh (a lot), cry and think. We are excited about our partnership with Hulu and look forward to sharing our amazing comedy with the show’s many loyal fans for seasons to come.”
