The Mindy Project is winding down. After five successful seasons, Mindy Kalig has announced that it’s upcoming sixth season will be it’s last.

The hit series first premiered on Fox in 2012, and when it’s fate was uncertain after season 3, Hulu scooped it up for three more seasons.

Craig Erich, Hulu’s head of content issued a statement about the show’s conclusion. He said:

“It has been an honor and a joy to work with Mindy and the entire creative team behind The Mindy Project. This series has been part of Hulu since we launched the service and, thanks to Mindy’s incredibly unique voice and vision, has remained one of our most popular and beloved series over the past five years. While we can’t wait to see what Mindy has in store for what will undoubtedly be a fantastic sixth and final season, we know The Mindy Project will live on as fans will continue to watch, discover and re-live all of the best moments from the complete series on Hulu.”

Mindy, who created, produced and starred in the show, spoke with Entertainment Weekly, and said she feels good about where things are. She said, “We’re really excited about this last season. I think the timing is exactly right.”

As for what the finale will be like, it’s still a work in progress. Mindy said:

“You know, I’ve always had an image in my mind of what would be in the last five minutes of the finale, but I don’t know what the explanations are for it. I’ve seen something for her character, but I don’t know what it would mean about marriage or not-marriage, if that makes any sense. I haven’t figured that part out yet. But I want to do something surprising. I want to do something that feels good but also makes you feel like when you leave the character, that she’s learned something in these past six years—for someone who doggedly doesn’t want to learn. She’s actually, unwittingly become kind of better.”

Catch the final season of The Mindy Project streaming on Hulu in September.
