IN THE

SPOTLIGHT

“It was such an iconic

movie,” says Mindy Kaling

of the 1994 rom-com Four

Weddings and a Funeral

(with Andie MacDowell

and Hugh Grant, inset).

“I couldn’t do a strict

adaptation.” Instead, she

updated the film’s structure

with a more diverse cast.

In the 10-episode series, an

African-American woman

(Nathalie Emmanuel) travels

to London for the nuptials

of her best friend (Rebecca

Rittenhouse) and falls for

the groom (Nikesh Patel).

“They don’t look like the

original stars,” says Mindy.

“But the essence of the

movie will still be intact.”
