"Rhea Perlman is joining the cast of The Mindy Project in a recurring role. The Cheers actress will play Danny&amp;#039;s (Chris Messina) mother, according to TVLine.  Lead star and executive producer Mindy Kaling recently teased the character&amp;#039;s arrival at the Television Critics Association. &amp;quot;The wonderful thing about the character is the trope of the mother-in-law-type figure who doesn&amp;#039;t like the girl is so pervasive, it&amp;#039;s like, &amp;#039;OK, how do we do a new spin on this?&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;As Danny has said, &amp;#039;I don&amp;#039;t know how to please that woman.&amp;#039; So we haven&amp;#039;t ignored her own relationship with her two sons [Danny and Richie] and her ex-husband. So we really explore a lot.&amp;quot; The third season of The Mindy Project is set to return to Fox in the US on Tuesday, September 19 at 9.30pm. E4 is currently airing the second season in the UK on Tuesdays at 9.30pm. Watch a clip from The Mindy Project below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
