Hulu acquires Mindy Kaling's new comedy ‘Murray Hill’

Hulu acquires Mindy Kaling's new comedy ‘Murray Hill’

The Disney-owned streamer Hulu has secured the exclusive broadcasting rights to Mindy Kaling's highly anticipated comedy series, Murray Hill.

The official logline for Murray Hill is as follows: “Five work-obsessed 20-somethings strive for professional success and, if they have time, personal happiness in Manhattan’s most glamorous neighborhood, Murray Hill.”


Kaling, known for her work on hit shows like The Office and The Mindy Project, is both the creator and executive producer of Murray Hill via her Kaling International banner.

The single-cam, half-hour show will be produced by Warner Bros. Television, where Kaling currently holds an overall deal.

Murray Hill reunites Kaling with Hulu after the streamer picked up The Mindy Project following its cancellation at Fox after three seasons. The workplace comedy ran on Hulu for another three installments before it ended with its sixth and final season in 2017.

She also co-created and executive-produced a limited series adaptation of Four Weddings and a Funeral that ran on the streamer in 2019.

Apart from Murray Hill, Kaling has a Netflix comedy series starring Kate Hudson and inspired by the life of Los Angeles Lakers president Jeanie Buss in the works.

She is also the co-creator and executive producer of Max’s The Sex Lives of College Girls, whose third season is scheduled to hit the platform later this year.

Kaling is also behind the highly anticipated animated series Velma for Max, offering a fresh take on the beloved Scooby-Doo characters.

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
