Mindy Kaling is on the move. The actress, writer and producer has, in a competitive situation, signed what sources say is a massive six-year, mid-eight-figure overall deal with Warner Bros. Television, moving from her longtime home at Universal Television. The news comes days after Universal TV signed Nahnatchka Khan to a rich four-year overall deal that saw the Fresh Off the Boat creator leave her longtime home at 20th Century Fox TV. The deal will see The Office grad leave her longtime home at Universal Television, where she has been based since breaking out on the former NBC comedy (where she starred and wrote more than 20 episodes). For the NBCUniversal-owned studio, Kaling created Fox-turned-Hulu comedy The Mindy Project and NBC's short-lived comedy Champions. She next has Hulu's anthology take on Four Weddings and a Funeral due this year. Emmy-nominated writer and actress Kaling landed at WBTV in a competitive situation with multiple studios bidding.

Now, a new rumor is claiming that Warner Bros. knows about as much as we do when it comes to Supes’ future in the DCEU, as the studio may be planning to shelve the character for the moment to make way for Kal-El’s cousin Supergirl to join the franchise.
