Six years after Mindy Kaling broke ground as an Indian-American actress creating and starring in her own TV show, the funnywoman is moving on from _The Mindy Project_. Season six, which began airing in September, will be the show’s last she says.

Kaling broke the news on Twitter late Monday night.

> [](https://twitter.com/mindykaling/status/930316657037271040)

She quickly followed up the news by humorously challenging fans to see if they could tell how [pregnant](http://time.com/4901376/mindy-kaling-on-pregnancy/) she was while shooting the finale.

> [](https://twitter.com/mindykaling/status/930324932638130176)

Kaling had previously announced in May that NBC would be picking up a new series from her and _Mindy Project_ producer Charlie Grandy called _Champions_. The [show will center around](http://deadline.com/2017/10/champions-fortune-feimster-cast-charlie-grandy-mindy-kaling-sibling-comedy-series-nbc-1202183279/) two gym rat brothers whose lives are changed by the sudden arrival of the elder brother’s teenage son, according to Deadline.

_The Mindy Project_ began its run at Fox in 2012\. After three seasons Fox cancelled the show, which was not a ratings hit, paving the way for [Hulu to pick it up](http://time.com/3860406/hulu-the-mindy-project/).

Kaling, one of the television’s few powerful, body-positive and funny women, has often been called a “pioneer”.

“I often forget that … being Indian, an Indian-American woman who is not, sort of, pencil thin — that that is very new to broadcast television,” she once told NPR in [an interview.](https://www.npr.org/2014/10/16/356390794/comedian-mindy-kaling-on-refusing-to-be-an-outsider-and-sexism-on-set) She added that she likes being seen as a role model, even if it’s “scary as hell”.
