Mindy Kaling is reacting to the cancellation of her series Not Suitable for Work.
On Monday, Aug. 24, it was revealed that Hulu decided not to renew the comedy, created by Kaling, for a second season.
The show followed five 20-somethings in the Murray Hill neighborhood of New York City as they navigated post-grad life, and premiered in June.
Reacting to the news, Kaling, 47, shared a handful of behind-the-scenes photos on Instagram and looked back at her time working on the comedy.
“I love this show, I loved making this show, I love these people, and I love all of you for all your sweet comments, messages, edits and for watching @notsuitableforwork,” Kaling wrote.

In her post, Kaling could be seen posing on the streets of New York City with the show’s crew, documenting the cast’s visit to Good Morning America and laughing on set.
Not Suitable for Work starred Ella Hunt, Nicholas Duvernay, Will Angus, Avantika Vandanapu and Jack Martin. Victor Garber, Greg Germann, Judy Gold, Ego Nwodim, Harry Richardson and Constance Wu were among the recurring guest stars.
Vandanapu, 21, shared her own message on her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, writing that she loves the team behind the show “so very much.”
“[It] gave me such an opportunity of a lifetime and introduced me to people and audiences I could have never even dreamed of meeting before. I am so grateful to Mindy, Carlie [Grandy, showrunner], Hulu, Warner Bros for giving us this chance. We love you.”

Speaking with PEOPLE around the show’s release, Kaling detailed how it was inspired by the post-grad period of her life. She said she recalls “the feeling of having so much to say and having so much to offer, or thinking I did, and having no access” when she thinks about her early 20s.
“When your ambition does not meet your access, to me, it was really theatrical, and fun, and also a painful time in my life,” Kaling said. “I also had so many crushes and a really dynamic friend group, and I just wanted to do a show about that.”
Not Suitable for Work is streaming on Hulu.
