Hulu will not be moving forward on a second season of its recent comedy “Not Suitable for Work,” from creator Mindy Kaling. The series, which Kaling executive produced with showrunner Charlie Grandy and 3 Arts Entertainment’s Howard Klein, launched in June and ran for nine episodes. TV, which produces the series, plans to shop it to potential new homes.
Ella Hunt, Avantika, Will Angus, Jack Martin, Nicholas Duvernay and Jay Ellis star in the series, which per the show’s logline, centers on “work-obsessed 20-somethings striving for professional success and, if they have time, personal happiness in Manhattan’s most glamorous neighborhood, Murray Hill.” Recurring guest stars on “Not Suitable for Work” include Victor Garber, Greg Germann, Judy Gold, Ego Nwodim, Harry Richardson, Constance Wu, Laura Bell Bundy, May Hong, Bhavesh Patel, Emilia Suárez and Michael Benjamin Washington. The series stars Hunt as AJ, an investment banker from Boston, who moves to New York for a new job and begins living with her best friend, aspiring celebrity stylist Abby (played by Avantika). They live across the hall from male best friends Davis (Will Angus), who is AJ’s co-worker and has a crush on her; nepo-baby/young journalist Josh (Jack Martin); and aspiring actor/med school dropout Kel (Nicholas Duvernay).
Television, where both Kaling and Grandy hold overall deals. After “Mindy Project,” Kaling continued a string of successes with Netflix’s “Never Have I Ever,” HBO Max’s “The Sex Lives of College Girls” and Netflix’s ongoing series “Running Point,” which has already been renewed for a Season 3. In her review of “Not Suitable for Work,” Variety‘s Alison Herman wasn’t too impressed, but she did see some “glimmers of a more biting, memorable take on young people juggling jobs and love in New York City throughout the nine-episode season.”
