Kaling and executive producer Matt Warburton recently talked about the plot of season 6 during a panel at the Television Critics Association summer press tour, which will largely focus on motherhood.

"I think she's going to learn a little bit more about how to be a good, involved parent," Warburton said. "We have a really funny episode where Julie Bowen plays a rival mother who thinks that Mindy's not doing that great of a job."

Kaling opened up about her pregnancy on the "Today" show in August.

"It's so unknown to me," she said. "I have a lot of control over a lot of aspects of my life, and this is one where I'm like, 'OK, it's out of my hands,' which is kind of a fun feeling."

The actress has not yet revealed who the father of her baby is.

Kaling plays a gynecologist struggling to juggle being a working mother on "The Mindy Project." The show was aired by FOX until season 3, after which it was dropped by the network. Hulu took on the show in 2015 and is currently airing its sixth and final season.

"The Mindy Project" season 6 airs every Tuesday on Hulu.
