“The Mindy Project” may be breaking new ground on Hulu, but its tradition of casting the starriest of guest stars continues. Joseph Gordon-Levitt will guest on the season four premiere of the show, which makes its Hulu debut later this year.
The premiere episode will be inspired by the 1998 Gwyneth Paltrow rom-com “Sliding Doors,”. Mindy Lahiri (Mindy Kaling) is no longer with longtime boyfriend and co-worker Danny Castellano (Chris Messina) in the new alternate universe, but married to Levitt’s character, a Bravo reality TV producer. The character brings their connection full circle as Kaling and Messina recently guest-starred in the season two premiere of Levitt’s Pivot series “HitRecord on TV.”
