The Mindy Project will return for the second half of its fourth season on April 12.

Creator and star Mindy Kaling confirmed the news Tuesday afternoon on Twitter, just days after The Walking Dead star Lauren Cohan revealed she'll guest star on the show, which is currently back in production.

As we previously reported, Hulu picked up Mindy for a 26-episode fourth season after it was canceled by Fox. Its 13th episode of the new season aired in December.
