On her Instagram account, lead star and executive producer Mindy Kaling confirmed the news by sharing a photo of Witherspoon inside a cave. In her caption, the actress revealed that this is the second time that she and Witherspoon have been trapped inside a cave. The actresses both star in “A Wrinkle In Time,” which is slated for release in March 2018.

As of late, other details about Witherspoon’s role in the final season of “The Mindy Project” star are still being kept under wraps. However, the “Big Little Lies” actress revealed that she will appear in episode 7. Witherspoon posted a photo of her script, which also has the names of the writer and director of the installment. Season 6, episode 7 was written by Miranda Berman, and directed by David Rogers.

Additionally, Witherspoon expressed her excitement over the working with Kaling again, this time on television. She also revealed that she had a lot of fun on the set of the Hulu series.

Meanwhile, “The Mindy Project” Season 6 will see the return of Chris Messina’s Danny in some of the upcoming episodes. The character was last seen at the beginning of Season 5. Danny and Mindy will reunite, but this does not necessarily mean they will get back together. The two will be married to their respective partners when the series premieres.

“We aren’t super interested in tying everything in a bow. We’re trying to avoid that, while also leaving the audience with the sense that Mindy had some growth,” Kaling told TV Line.

Earlier this month, Entertainment Weekly reported that Mindy will file for divorce from her husband in the upcoming episodes of the series. In one of the final scenes from Season 5, Mindy was on the train, and she had a sad look on her face. “We unpack that look and how that has metastasized over the course of the 10 months,” Kaling said.

“The Mindy Project” Season 6 will premiere on Hulu on Sept. 12.
