We meet for tea at The Marlton Hotel the Monday of what will probably be the busiest week of her career: Tomorrow, her new show, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nylon.com\/entertainment\/pauline-chalamet-mindy-kaling-the-sex-lives-of-college-girls\" class=\"T3D\">Mindy Kaling<\/a>-created comedy <em>Not Suitable For Work,<\/em> will premiere on Hulu and Disney+, and on Friday, she\u2019ll release <em>Blindspot<\/em>, her debut album. \u201cI&#8217;m the dummy that decided to put out an album the week a TV show is coming out,\u201d the British entertainer, 28, tells NYLON. \u201cI feel like I&#8217;m in midweek madness, and I&#8217;m just trying to keep my head.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR CEt\">\n<figure class=\"Qf5 nbP\">\n<div style=\"padding-top:133.209%\" class=\"vmZ F8Y ap2\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/6\/8\/03152044\/img_6925.jpg?w=268&amp;h=357&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"EdX\"><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The third installment in a trilogy of shows exploring Kaling\u2019s relationship to young adulthood, <em>Not Suitable For Work <\/em>follows young professionals AJ Pascarelli (played by Hunt), Abby Chilukuri (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/avantika\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" class=\"T3D\">Avantika Vandanapu<\/a>), Josh Teitelbaum (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/realjackmartin\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" class=\"T3D\">Jack Martin<\/a>), Kel Washington (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nicholasduvernay\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" class=\"T3D\">Nicholas Duvernay<\/a>), and Davis Beau Bradley Barrett III (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/angus_william\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" class=\"T3D\">Will Angus<\/a>) as they navigate life in New York City. The show is teeming with Kaling\u2019s signature comedic cultural commentary (the most famous person in the show\u2019s universe is Cate Blanchett\u2019s nephew, naturally), and yes, there\u2019s even a \u201cNora Efron-esque\u201d rom-com subplot \u00e0 la <em>The Mindy Project<\/em>. \u201c[Mindy Kaling] is really f*cking phenomenal,\u201d says Hunt. \u201cI loved working with Mindy and was really impressed at her ability to make me and the other cast members feel at ease and at home and like an equal. She&#8217;s very self-deprecating and warm, and very hardworking, and kind of instilled that in all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR\">\n<div class=\"QYV Qev\">\n<div class=\"uES fEt\">\n<div class=\"uT7\">\n<div class=\"FDO\">\n<div class=\"vmZ XJ- jWP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/6\/8\/7832bc42\/img_6941.jpg?w=374&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"EdX\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"FDO\">\n<div class=\"vmZ XJ- jWP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/6\/8\/98db5dc2\/img_6940.jpg?w=374&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"EdX\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yOD GLK\">\n<div class=\"ki0 kpP\">\n<div class=\"MNV\"><\/div>\n<p><label for=\"lightboxCheckbox-471121898\" class=\"QNb y8V St5\"><button aria-label=\"open lightbox\" class=\"kMc\"><\/button><\/label><\/div>\n<div class=\"C1C\">\n<div class=\"ZXG\">\n<div class=\"F6c\"><button class=\"ikQ VkL\"><\/button>1 \/ 2<button class=\"ikQ Olc\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"LOc\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"igl f5y\"><button class=\"ikQ Xfx\"><span class=\"Od1\">INFO<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"itG\">1 \/ 2<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Somehow in the midst of the crazy New York shooting schedule, Hunt also managed to find the time to work on <em>Blindspot<\/em>. Initially written in December 2023 around the loss of her sister, Emily, to brain cancer and recorded six months later, Hunt\u2019s busy acting schedule barred her from entering the production phase for a long stretch of time. In fall 2025, she booked a residency at Caf\u00e9 Carlyle while filming <em>NSFW<\/em>, and realized the album wasn\u2019t as complete as she thought it was. \u201cPlaying with the band made me realize that there was a spirit that I wanted to get on the record that wasn&#8217;t there yet,\u201d says Hunt. \u201cSo I went back into the studio while we were shooting on the weekends, and recorded with the band.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR CEt\">\n<figure class=\"Qf5 E1M LRM\">\n<div style=\"padding-top:177.3399%\" class=\"Rfb F8Y sMW\"><video controls playsinline class=\"kOK U-k\"><\/video><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>From there, she was able to capture the spirit of \u201chow I sounded as a kid playing the piano in the kitchen\u201d with minimal vocal processing, layering, overdubs, comped takes, and mixing. \u201cWe barely touched it,\u201d the former <em>Dickinson<\/em> actor says. \u201cI wanted it to sound like how you would experience me sat in the room together.\u201d In the end, she walked away with an album that\u2019s just as raw as the circumstance under which it was written. But with radical honesty comes a level of discomfort as well. \u201cI\u2019m a little nervous about [putting out] \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FZQoEWWMjz4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" class=\"T3D\">Dove Grey<\/a>,\u2019\u201d she admits. \u201cIt&#8217;s the one on the record that&#8217;s most personal, and it has so many details of my family that I really toyed with whether or not to put it out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love playing it live,\u201d she continues. \u201cIt feels like a really important moment of the live set, and to be able to talk gently about palliative care and the light that it cast my family in, it is a very lovely thing to get to do. It&#8217;s really sensitive, but writing that song felt like a gateway into everything else and gave me permission to be a little bit more poetic and expansive in my exploration of grief.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR\">\n<div class=\"QYV Qev\">\n<div class=\"uES fEt\">\n<div class=\"uT7\">\n<div class=\"FDO\">\n<div class=\"vmZ XJ- jWP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/6\/8\/12e583a9\/img_6933.jpg?w=374&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"EdX\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"FDO\">\n<div class=\"vmZ XJ- jWP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/6\/8\/308ce7c1\/img_6913.jpg?w=374&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"EdX\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yOD GLK\">\n<div class=\"ki0 kpP\">\n<div class=\"MNV\"><\/div>\n<p><label for=\"lightboxCheckbox-471121899\" class=\"QNb y8V St5\"><button aria-label=\"open lightbox\" class=\"kMc\"><\/button><\/label><\/div>\n<div class=\"C1C\">\n<div class=\"ZXG\">\n<div class=\"F6c\"><button class=\"ikQ VkL\"><\/button>1 \/ 2<button class=\"ikQ Olc\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"LOc\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"igl f5y\"><button class=\"ikQ Xfx\"><span class=\"Od1\">INFO<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"itG\">1 \/ 2<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Even now, four days before the album\u2019s release, she still has her reservations. \u201cI\u2019m fearful about the next chapter of this body of work&#8217;s existence,\u201d Hunt says. \u201c\u2018Fearful\u2019 may be the wrong word, but I have a lot of anticipation about how to do this next step in the process, and I&#8217;m only gonna learn about it through doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, she\u2019s already learned one valuable lesson: To space out the release of her next acting and music projects. \u201cFor me, acting sort of feels like an inhale. It&#8217;s a lot of taking in information and listening,\u201d says Hunt. \u201cMusic feels like an exhalation; a kind of release and relief and a freedom.
