'The Mindy Project' Cast News, Update: Garret Dillahunt Teases About His Season 4 Character
Fans of the formerly Fox romantic comedy TV series "The Mindy Project" may already know that when Season 4 debuts on Hulu, the show's lead character Mindy Lahiri (Mindy Kaling) will already be pregnant and that she will be expected to go on a maternity leave.

"So we butt heads coming on," Dillahunt told the publication (via EW).
As further revealed by the site, filming with the cast and crew began earlier last week, Monday. Although not new to streaming service series, the "Deadwood" actor admitted that he felt the need to put an unprecedented effort saying that "it is necessary."
"It should be a requirement. I thought that's what we always do. I've been lucky enough to get the opportunity," he further told EW.
Describing his new co-stars, Dillahunt exclaimed that the Mindy gang are "quick witted" fellows.
"They really are," he said to the outlet (via EW). "And they don't need my help, but I'm glad they brought me along."
