Adding to her impressive portfolio, Hulu has ordered her new series ‘Not Suitable For Work,’ while Kaling has also renewed her overall deal with Warner Bros. TV Group. The project generated significant interest from multiple buyers before landing at Hulu with a script-to-series commitment.

Her accomplishments have earned her multiple accolades, including Screen Actors Guild Awards, a Tony Award, and six Primetime Emmy Awards nominations. In a significant recognition of her contributions to the arts, she was awarded the National Medal of Arts from President Joe Biden.

Kaling’s commitment to creating content about ambitious women remains steadfast, with her work continuing to ensure that audiences can see themselves represented in her characters’ struggles and triumphs.
