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.

Hugh Jackman's Robin Hood is dividing critics right down the middle, and it's happening for one very specific reason

Highlights:

  • Hugh Jackman is drawing some of the strongest individual reviews of his career for The Death of Robin Hood, a dark, revisionist take on the folk legend from director Michael Sarnoski.
  • Critics are far more divided on the film itself, with reviews ranging from full-throated praise to calling it a "tedious slog."
  • The split is unusually consistent across outlets: almost every review separates Jackman's performance from its verdict on the film around him.

Hugh Jackman's Robin Hood isn't the swashbuckling folk hero anyone grew up with. He's grey-bearded, guilt-ridden, and by his own account in the film, a killer who had a very good publicist. Critics reviewing The Death of Robin Hood keep landing on the same split: near-universal respect for what Jackman is doing, and real, outlet-by-outlet disagreement over whether the film around him earns its own seriousness.

What's the film actually about?

Michael Sarnoski, the director of Pig and A Quiet Place: Day One, strips away almost everything associated with Robin Hood as folklore. Jackman's Robin is recovering from a near-fatal injury at a remote priory, nursed by a prioress played by Jodie Comer, when Bill Skarsgård's Little John arrives asking for one more favour. The opening scenes set the tone early: a folk hero who mocks his own legend, whose charitable myth was mostly good marketing.
