This just in from Variety:

While Fox has hit some ratings potholes this season, the network believes in its strongest freshman contenders, renewing “The Mindy Project” and “The Following” for second seasons.

Fellow comedies from Fox’s Tuesday night lineup “New Girl” and “Raising Hope” were also renewed for third and fourth seasons, respectively. “Mindy Project” pickup is a big win for producer Universal TV and its efforts to broaden its production activity beyond Peacock nets.

Big congrats to everyone on the show!
