"These shows are some of the best and acclaimed series on television, with influential, culture-driving stars, and some of the best, most creative talent behind the camera," Fox's Kevin Reilly and Joe Earley said in a joint statement. "All four are core assets within our 2014-15 portfolio of content, and we’re really happy to bring them back to our FOX fans for another season." Fox also renewed "The Following" for a third season on Friday.

Mindy Kaling shared her enthusiasm for "Mindy Project" Season 3 on Twitter and Instagram, and celebrated with champagne, caviar and Cadbury eggs.
