Mindy Project executive producer and star Mindy Kaling announced at the TCA press tour (via TVLine) that Messina will be back for multiple episodes in Season 6.
Chris Messina was the leading man of The Mindy Project for its first three seasons, but he became less of a constant presence starting in Season 4, and he was downgraded from a series regular to a guest star for Season 5.
His career took off in some non-Mindy directions, and Danny wasn’t around as much as a result.
While she didn’t go into detail about how much he’ll appear in those multiple episodes, at least we know he won’t just pop in for a quick cameo in the series finale.
