What’s Next For ‘The Mindy Project’ Cast After The Series Finale?
Hulu’s “The Mindy Project,” which was created by and starred Mindy Kaling, debuted its series finale on Tuesday, marking its end after six seasons.
The show’s actors and actresses proved their acting chops, both comedic and dramatic, episode after episode, which is why they’re having no problems landing new acting gigs now that the series is over.
Here’s what’s next for the cast of “The Mindy Project.”
Mindy Kaling
“The Mindy Project” is over, but Kaling is already working on new show of hers called “Champions.” She’s executive producing, writing and acting in the upcoming NBC comedy, which also stars “Mindy Project” alum Anders Holm. Kaling will also be in the 2018 film “A Wrinkle in Time” with Chris Pine and Reese Witherspoon, as well as “Ocean’s Eight” with Sandra Bullock and Anne Hathaway.
Ike Barinholtz
After starring as Morgan Tookers in this Hulu series, Barinholtz has two new movies on the horizon. He’ll be in Will Smith’s “Bright,” which is out Dec. 22 on Netflix. He’ll also star in the 2018 comedy “Blockers” with Leslie Mann and John Cena.

Leaving the doctor profession behind, Messina will play a detective in HBO’s adaptation of the novel “Sharp Objects.” The series will also star Amy Adams, as a reporter who just finished a stay at a psych hospital. Aside from the HBO show, he’s working with Lily Rabe in an upcoming rom-com, “We’re Just Married,” as well as the drama “The True Adventures of Wolfboy” with Chloe Sevigny. Interestingly enough, Sevigny was in a few episodes of “The Mindy Project” with Messina.

Feimster is starring in Kaling’s new comedy “Champions.” She’ll be acting alongside fellow “The Mindy Project” alums Kaling and Holm, the latter whom will play the lead role of Vince in this series. Besides this new comedy series, Feimster also has a couple movies coming out. She has “Social Animals” with Aya Cash and Josh Radnor, as well as “Deported” with Megan Park.
