Not Suitable for Work

Mindy Kaling has spent her career building workplace comedies that are really about the gap between who we perform ourselves to be and who we actually are — The Office, The Mindy Project, Never Have I Ever each explored that gap in different registers. Not Suitable for Work, premiering on Hulu on June 2, 2026, is her most urban and maximalist iteration of that theme: a New York City ensemble comedy about five work-obsessed 20-somethings striving for professional success and, if they can find the time, personal happiness in the glamorous Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan. The show stars Ella Hunt, Avantika, Will Angus, Jack Martin, and Nicholas Duvernay as the core ensemble, with a sprawling supporting cast that includes Victor Garber, Greg Germann, Constance Wu, Laura Bell Bundy, Ego Nwodim, Jay Ellis, May Hong, Bhavesh Patel, Harry Richardson, Emilia Suárez, and Michael Benjamin Washington. That roster of recurring guest stars signals a show with significant production investment and a genuine commitment to populating its world with recognizable faces. Kaling created the series with showrunner Charlie Grandy (Mindy Project, Space Force) and executive producer Howard Klein of 3 Arts Entertainment. The premiere drops three episodes on June 2, with two new episodes releasing each Tuesday through the season finale on June 23 — a rollout designed to encourage both binge-watching and week-to-week discussion. Early reviews describe the show as charming and occasionally too whimsical, but consistently anchored by Ella Hunt's lead performance and a willingness to let its characters be genuinely messy rather than aspirationally perfect. In a June calendar dominated by spectacle and prestige drama, Not Suitable for Work offers the most accessible point of entry for viewers who want excellent television without the weight of dragons or kitchen catastrophe.
