Not Suitable for Work Season 2 hangs in limbo

With no official announcement yet, Not Suitable for Work is still waiting to see whether Hulu/Disney+ keeps the young-adulthood sitcom going. The current audience score sits at 67%, and Mindy Kaling has said she’s “keeping my fingers crossed” as the first seas

On the calendar. the suspense is already there: the first season of Mindy Kaling’s new workplace sitcom. Not Suitable for Work. is set to end on June 23. But for fans who’ve learned to measure TV survival by the week between finales and renewals. the more pressing question arrives even sooner—whether the story will make it past the moment these ambitious twenty-somethings are still trying to become themselves.

The show. which premiered only recently. is available to stream on Disney+ in the UK and follows the familiar quest to turn adulthood into something survivable and funny. Set in Manhattan’s Murray Hill neighbourhood. it blends workplace comedy with romantic misadventures—an atmosphere the series leans into with AJ at the centre. AJ Pascarelli lands a coveted finance job. moves in with her college friend Abhinaya “Abby” Chilukuri. and arrives determined to reinvent herself. The plan fractures the day she discovers one of her neighbours is someone from her past—while across the hall. three friends keep running their own chaotic routes through professional success.

There’s no news yet about a potential Not Suitable for Work season 2. Still, the timing matters. The series premiered with three episodes, enough to set up the central relationships and hint at complications to come, and mixed critic reviews have not stopped viewers from showing up.

The audience reaction currently captured through the Rotten Tomatoes audience score sits at 67%. It’s not a guarantee—but it’s the kind of number networks and streamers watch closely when they’re deciding what stays in motion and what gets left behind. If the show earns a comeback, new episodes could arrive in summer 2027.

The cast is already built for the long haul. or at least for the kind of ensemble sitcom momentum that usually depends on who keeps returning. Ella Hunt plays AJ Pascarelli. Avantika Vandanapu is Abhinaya “Abby” Chilukuri. Will Angus portrays Davis Beau Bradley Barrett III. Jack Martin is Josh Teitelbaum. Nicholas Duvernay appears as Kel Washington. and Jay Ellis plays Bill Gibson.

What’s driving the series’ pitch is its lineage. Not Suitable for Work follows Never Have I Ever. which was inspired by Kaling’s teenage years. and The Sex Lives of College Girls. which reflected the college experience. Here, she zooms in on a different transition—the period when she moved to New York as a young professional.

Asked about the possibility of season 2, Kaling sounded cautiously optimistic. “We love making the show. It seems like Hulu really likes what they’ve seen, but you never know. I’m just keeping my fingers crossed,” she told Variety.

It’s the sort of hope that lands with double weight because the season itself is still in progress. If you’re watching it week to week, the structure is already clear: you can catch double episodes weekly on Hulu/Disney+, and the finale is scheduled for June 23.

For those deciding what to queue next—or what universe of twenty-something mess to keep living in—there are similar options mentioned alongside Not Suitable for Work. Shows like The Bold Type, Younger, Industry, Broad City, or New Girl sit in the same comedic orbit. On Disney+, the list of other trending series includes Rivals, The Testaments, Scrubs, or Paradise.

For now, the future of Not Suitable for Work Season 2 is still “keeping my fingers crossed” territory—waiting for the kind of viewer momentum that turns a promising first season into a second one.
