Fox Picks Up 'The Office's' Mindy Kaling Pilot [
HollywoodReporter]
Mindy Kaling has officially become part of the cool girls club. I am really excited about this new comedy that Fox has picked up!
The network has officially picked up to pilot an untitled comedy from The Office's Kaling that would star the writer-actress as a young Bridget Jones-type doctor trying to navigate both her personal and professional lives.
The project, which hails from Universal TV, would be written and executive produced by Kaling, with Parks and Recreation and The Office's Howard Klein on board as a nonwriting executive producer.
The Kaling project comes as the actress has long talked about playing an OB/GYN on screen and days after NBC announced plans for a potential Office spinoff that would see Rainn Wilson's Dwight Schrute run a bed and breakfast on his family farm.Should Kaling's Fox pilot earn a series commitment, the Office star whose Universal Television deal expires in June, would depart the NBC series and focus instead on her new effort.
