'The Mindy Project' Losing Major Cast Member? Find Out Who Isn't Returning To MIndy Kaling's Series

We have some pretty awful spoilers for fans of The Mindy Project — in fact, you might want to sit down for this one. It has just been revealed that while the comedy series on Fox has been picked up for six additional episodes, one of the main cast members will be bidding ado to the show.

The Mindy Kaling-produced series will be saying goodbye to none other than Adam Pally's character, Dr. Peter Prentice.

According to TV Line, Pally's contract with Fox was always set to end after this current season's 13th episode. The comedian came aboard the series during Season 2, after his ABC show Happy Endings was cancelled, a fact that we still haven't gotten over. His departure, however, does come with a silver lining, as fans will still get to see him make guest appearances on the show, should his schedule permit.

The site is also reporting that Adam has inked a deal with ABC to produce new projects for its different media outlets.

E! News is reporting that the actor isn't the first one to disembark from The Mindy Project boat. He is following in the footsteps of some of the great characters who have come before him, played by actors Stephen Tobolowsky, Amanda Sutton, Anna Camp and, most recently, Zoe Jarman.

Viewers of the series will still get to see Adam until his run is up in early 2015, but will also get to see him in select episodes that will air during the spring.

We'll miss you, Dr. Peter!
