The Mindy Project co-star Ed Weeks has partnered with the comedy series’ creator, executive producer and lead Mindy Kaling for a comedy project, which has landed at ABC with a script commitment plus penalty. Co-written by Weeks and Hannah Mackay (Peep Show), the untitled single-camera comedy centers on liberal lesbian couple Laurel and Marisa who move with their teenage son to Laurel’s conservative hometown in Kansas to find that their assumptions about Middle America might just be wrong. Weeks, MacKay, Kaling and 3 Arts’ Howard Klein executive produce. Universal TV, where Kaling inked a big writing, producing and acting deal this past summer, is the studio.
