While Adam Pally's role on season two of "The Mindy Project" may be interesting for Mindy, he will get on Jeremy's nerves (Ed Weeks).
Pally ("Happy Endings") will play Peter, a certifiable "bro." Peter will quickly become part of the team at Mindy's practice. When Jeremy's father, Alfred, comes to visit the office, he and Peter get along so well that Alfred invites Peter to dinner, much to Jeremy's dismay. Alfred and Peter become as thick as thieves while Alfred does nothing but criticize Jeremy.
As for Mindy, she will be spending more time with the show's male characters than her female cohorts.
"There are not a lot of plans to see Mindy's girlfriends," executive producer Jack Burditt told TVLine. "But I also think we may touch upon the fact that she doesn't spend a lot of time with her girlfriends, either."
Mindy will also see her new marriage crumble at the start of the forthcoming season. Mindy Kaling spoke to Entertainment Weekly at the Television Critics Association about her relationship status next season.
"Mindy gets to be single again," Kaling revealed.
Although her marriage to the Pastor, Peter Casey (Anders Holm) will meet a quick end, there will be new men to keep Mindy very busy next season.
In addition to Pally's hilariously stereotypical character, James Franco is joining the cast of season two to play a new doctor who starts working at Mindy's practice while she's in Haiti with Pastor Casey. "I come back to my nemesis, played by James Franco," Kaling teased.
Some guests are also coming back for the second season. Mindy's dentist ex, played by Bill Hader, will be back, as well as Danny's (Chris Messina) sometimes-wife (Chloe Sevigny), and Pastor Casey, who might only be on the new season for a couple of episodes early on.
"The Mindy Project's" second season debuts on Fox at 9:30 p.m. on September 17, but you can catch it before it airs below:
