The Mindy Project is coming to a close – the show has been renewed for one final season.

“We’re really excited about this last season,” creator and star Mindy Kaling told EW. “I think the timing is exactly right. What’s weird is, Mindy is married at the end of the season 5 finale, but she has never been married in the series, so that’s incredibly fun for a character who’s been obsessed with [marriage] and has come close many times, and seeing her disavow it for a while after her disastrous breakup with who she thought was her soulmate. And now she’s married! The final season is the final time�”it’s the best time�”to confront what that reality is for her. And really, we’ve put her through the ringer. It’s hard. I’m a romantic at heart. I believe that marriage is like, a sacred relationship, and I really like it, but I’m also single myself, so I see every side of it. It’s going to be really fun to explore.”

No word just yet on how many episodes the final season will contain. The final season is expected to air in the fall on Hulu.

After last night’s funny, emotional, and downright romantic season finale of The Mindy Project, we can’t help but wonder about the future of one of our favorite shows.

According to E! News, the Fox comedy, which stars Mindy Kaling and Chris Messina, has about a 50/50 shot of getting picked up for a fourth season.

“I’m so proud of the show,” Mindy told the site. “There’s nothing really that I would do differently in the way that we’ve built the those in the last couple of years, and I love our relationship with Fox and I would love for it to just continue.”

If Fox doesn’t decide to renew, it’s possible the show could get a streaming deal. Either way, we hope it sticks around for a long time!
