Mindy Kaling is reuniting with “Mindy Project” co-star Ed Weeks for a new comedy, which has sold to ABC, TheWrap has learned.
The untitled single-camera comedy follows a lesbian couple, Laurel and Marisa, who move back to conservative Kansas with their teenage son in tow. There, they discover that everything they knew about Midwesterners may be wrong.
Weeks and Hannah Mackay co-wrote the Universal TV project and will executive produce alongside Kaling and 3 Arts’ Howard Klein.
Weeks and Kaling have been co-stars on Kaling’s “The Mindy Project” since the show began airing in 2012 on Fox. After it was canceled by the broadcast network after three seasons, it was picked up by Hulu, where it is currently airing its fifth season.
