Mindy Kaling’s NBC Project Is Headed to Fox

This is why actress/blogger/best-selling author Mindy Kaling is not getting her own Office spin-off: Vulture hears Fox is just about ready to order a pilot for a half-hour comedy written by and starring Kaling as an OB/GYN. The project was originally developed at NBC via Kaling’s overall deal with Universal Television, the Peacock’s studio arm. But NBC network brass decided to pass on the concept, putting the show on the open market. Fox, which has had success this season with the female-focused New Girl, pounced on the chance to develop the show. Universal will still produce. Zooey and Mindy, hanging together on Tuesday nights? To quote the poets Ingram and McDonald: “Ya mo be there.”
