Mindy Kaling is back with another must-watch series, and this time it's definitely not for the faint of heart. The comedy genius behind Never Have I Ever and The Sex Lives of College Girls is taking a decidedly raunchier turn with her latest Hulu project, Not Suitable for Work. And we've got an exclusive first look at the images that prove this show is going to be anything but office-appropriate.
Scheduled to premiere on Hulu on June 2, the series follows five work-obsessed 20-somethings as they navigate the treacherous waters of work-life balance in Manhattan's most glamorous neighborhood, Murray Hill. Think Friends with a much more explicit sense of humor and a modern twist. The show promises to deliver the hilarious and poignant storytelling Kaling is known for, but with a decidedly adult edge.
Who's in the Cast?
As with most Kaling projects, the ensemble is stacked with rising talent. Leading the pack is Ella Hunt, best known for her role in Apple TV's Dickinson. She's joined by Avantika (Disney Channel's Spin and the recent Mean Girls), Will Angus, Jack Martin (Pizza Movie), Nicholas Duvernay, and Jay Ellis (The Game). The recurring cast is equally impressive, featuring Ego Nwodim (Saturday Night Live), Constance Wu (Crazy Rich Asians), Victor Garber, Greg Germann, Judy Gold, and many more.
Kaling's production company, Kaling International, is producing the series in association with Warner Bros. Television. It's yet another feather in the cap for the multi-hyphenate, who recently saw her Netflix sports comedy Running Point surpass 60 million total views across two seasons. That show, often called Netflix's answer to Ted Lasso, stars Kate Hudson and Brenda Song and has been a massive hit.
For fans of Kaling's signature style—sharp dialogue, relatable characters, and a healthy dose of awkward humor—Not Suitable for Work looks to be a perfect fit. The exclusive images we've obtained show the cast in various states of chaos, from frantic office scenes to late-night antics that scream 'don't try this at your own job.'

With a June 2 premiere date, Not Suitable for Work is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated comedies of the summer. Stay tuned for more previews of the hottest upcoming TV and film projects right here at ShowtimeSpot.
