Beginning this October, Freeform (formerly ABC Family) will be adding reruns of the comedy The Mindy Project to its late night block from 12-2am. It will air each weeknight beginning October 3 and is replacing the classic Disney series block (a different one airs each weeknight from 12-2am). There will be a special primetime Mindy block on Wednesday, October 12 from 8-11pm as well. Freeform starts its 13 Nights of Halloween on October 19, so The Mindy Project will be temporarily moves to weekdays from 12-1pm (replacing one Gilmore Girls airing). The Mindy Project will go back to its late night block beginning Tuesday, November 1 after a 2 week "Halloween" break. The Mindy Project stars Mindy Kaling, Ed Weeks, Ike Barinholtz, Beth Grant, Xosha Roquemore and Fortune Feimster. The comedy of course is a single-camera comedy series created by and starring Emmy(R)-nominated writer/producer and New York Times best-selling author Mindy Kaling, which follows a skilled OB/GYN navigated the tricky waters of both her personal and professional life.
Sticking with Freeform news, Freeform takes a bold step into late-night with comedian Iliza Shlesinger and greenlights development on a new late-night series. The late-night series will feature Iliza's unique voice that reflects the audience and what's happening in the moment with a fresh comedic spin. Additionally, this past summer, Iliza premiered her scripted web series Forever 31 on ABC's new digital platform (ABCd), and the series has already been ordered for a second season. Her third Netflix special Confirmed Kills premiered on the streaming service on Friday (September 23) and will be followed by her first national theatre tour Iliza: The Confirmed Kills Tour. In spring 2017, Weinstein Books will publish her first book Girl Logic. Stay with us for continued updates should the series get a series order.
