Image Source: Amazon When Liz Meriwether created the character of Jess for the pilot episode of New Girl, she based much of Jess’s quirky personality on herself. At the time, no specific actress had been envisioned for the role. However, when Zooey Deschanel read the script, she saw something special—and familiar—in the character. Deschanel realized that she and Jess shared a lot in common, particularly their mutual love of music. This musical connection wasn’t just a happy coincidence—Deschanel herself performed the now-iconic theme song for the show, adding a signature charm to its episodes. The humor in New Girl doesn’t just come from Jess’s quirks, though. As Deschanel explained, the comedy thrives in the clash of dynamics between the core group of characters. Jess, undeniably a “girly girl,” often found herself in humorous conflicts with her “guys’ guys” roommates. The different personalities—each...

The cast of New Girl explains why they believe the show is more popular now than ever before. New Girl premiered in 2011 and ran for seven seasons, eventually ending in 2018. The show revolves around Jessica Day, played by Zooey Deschanel, who moves into a Los Angeles apartment with three male roommates. In addition to Deschanel, New Girl's cast includes Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, Lamorne Morris, Damon Wayans Jr., and Hannah Simone. During New Girl's original run, every episode aired on Fox. However, since the show's finale, it has found massive success on streaming services.

In an interview with People, Greenfield and Morris talked about the recent success of New Girl, and pointed out that it is the perfect binge show. Greenfield elaborated on the streaming success, especially during the pandemic, and the easy accessibility via Netflix and other streamers. Read their full quotes below:

Greenfield: Its the perfect binge show.

Four stars from the cast of New Girl have responded to a potential revival six years after the finale, explaining how the show could possibly continue. The sitcom follows the life of Jess Day (Zooey Deschanel), who, after finding out her boyfriend cheated on her, moves into a loft with three men her age, Nick (Jake Johnson), Schmidt (Max Greenfield), and Winston (Lamorne Morris). The show focuses on the characters in New Girl as their professional and personal lives evolve, including intersecting romantic relationships involving Jess and her frequently-visiting best friend, Cece (Hannah Simone).

Speaking with People about the show, Johnson, Greenfield, Morris, and Damon Wayans Jr., who plays guest character Coach, talked about the possibility of New Girl getting a revival. While poking fun at Morris for his Emmy win and joking about how he's the reason a revival hasn't happened yet, they ultimately stated the show's continuation would...

Just as fans were wondering what happened to Coach on New Girl, Winston was introduced as the new character in the sitcom. New Girl premiered on Fox in 2011 and came to an end in 2018 after seven seasons. The series, created by Elizabeth Meriwether, follows Jess (Zooey Deschanel), a bubbly teacher who, after a bad breakup, moves into an apartment with three less-than-mature men to begin a new life. Jess new roommates were Nick (Jake Johnson), Schmidt (Max Greenfield), and Coach (Damon Wayans Jr.). Winston (Lamorne Morris) joined the group in the second episode of New Girl.

Coach made quite an impression in the first episode of New Girl as a cocky yet awkward former athlete who worked as a personal trainer but was a bit too intense with clients. Despite Damon Wayans Jr's great performance and his chemistry with the rest of the New Girl cast, the character was...

If there were any lingering doubts that the Walt Disney Co. is now comfortable leaning into the edgier aspects of its increasingly aligned portfolio, they evaporated about 10 minutes into Tuesday’s upfront presentation when Ryan Reynolds promised that eventual Disney+ library member Deadpool & Wolverine would be a boon to advertisers targeting “testicular trauma” and “cocaine content.”

There was noticeably less cursing than during the week’s previous upfront events, at least until Jimmy Kimmel took the stage, but the embrace of Hard-r content was apparent from the pitch’s opening moments. Emma Stone, the Oscar-winning star of the Disney-produced Poor Things, was on hand to introduce Bob Iger — and, a month after he won his proxy fight with Nelson Peltz, voice her support for the recently embattled CEO.

Jay Duplass and Kelvin Yu are the latest additions to the cast of FX’s limited series adaptation of “Dying for Sex,” Variety has learned exclusively.

The series is based on the podcast of the same name. Duplass and Yu join previously announced series lead Michelle Williams and cast members Jenny Slate, Rob Delaney, David Rasche, and Esco Jouléy.

The official description of the series states “Molly (Williams), a woman diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, leaves her husband of 15 years and begins to explore her sexuality. She gets the courage and support to go on this adventure from her best friend (Slate), who stays by her side all the way to the very end.”

Duplass will play Steve, Molly’s husband. Yu will play Noah, described as “a talented musician with genuinely earnest, big feelings about his girlfriend Nikki that he isn’t shy about sharing.”

Zooey Deschanel left New Girl in season 5 due to pregnancy, leading to a storyline with Megan Fox's character Reagan joining the group. The show went against typical sitcom tropes by having Jess and Reagan become friends instead of romantic rivals, adding a unique dynamic. Deschanel juggled motherhood with her role on New Girl, bonding with Megan Fox over the challenges of being a working parent.

As Zooey Deschanel was the lead of the popular sitcom, many fans wonder why Jess left New Girl temporarily in season 5. Created by Elizabeth Meriwether, New Girl followed Jessica Day (Deschanel), a bubbly, young teacher who, after discovering her boyfriend cheated on her, moved into a loft with three complete strangers: Nick Miller, Schmidt, and Coach, who was quickly replaced by Winston, though he did return. Aside from that, the main cast remained the same – except in season 5, when Jess left for a string of episodes.

Taylor Swift's cameo on New Girl was unexpected but significant, as she played a role in a wedding day dilemma. The sitcom's creator, Elizabeth Meriwether, is a big fan of Taylor Swift and was excited to have her on the show. Swift's appearance added a fun surprise to the show, showcasing her acting talent beyond her music career.

Taylor Swift's New Girl cameo was one of the most unexpected guest starring moments on the show. Created by Elizabeth Meriwether, the sitcom New Girl made its debut on Fox in 2011, following Jess Day (Zooey Deschanel) as she begins a new life with her three male roommates. New Girl was praised for its tone and sense of humor, along with the performances of its main cast, especially those of Max Greenfield and Jake Johnson. The fun energy of the show also attracted a lot of notable guest stars, including Taylor Swift.

Coach was an original loft resident in New Girl but left after the pilot, returning in season 3 and becoming a regular in season 4. Wayans' departure from New Girl was due to commitments in Happy Endings, but he made guest appearances in subsequent seasons. Wayans has kept busy post-New Girl with voice-over work, movies, and TV roles, including hosting the real-life competition series Frogger.

Damon Wayans Jr’s Coach was one of the original loft residents in New Girl, but he left after the pilot episode. Wayans returned in season 3 and was promoted to a series regular in season 4, after which he left again. Created by Elizabeth Meriwether, New Girl debuted on Fox in 2011 and came to an end in 2018 after seven seasons. New Girl was very well received by critics and audiences, who praised the series’ sense of humor and the performances of the main cast, especially that of Max Greenfield,...

A revival of New Girl would undo its perfect ending. A reunion episode would be a fun addition to the series without messing with the ending. Nostalgia doesn't guarantee success and can hurt a show's legacy.

In the era of revivals in film and TV, New Girl shouldn’t join this trend as it would undo the show’s perfect ending. The 2010s saw a resurgence of sitcoms, and among the most popular ones is New Girl, created by Elizabeth Meriwether. New Girl introduced the audience to Jess Day (Zooey Deschanel), a quirky and optimistic young woman who, after a bad breakup, moves in with three strangers after finding their ad for a roommate online.

It doesn't take long for Jess to become friends with Schmidt (Max Greenfield), Nick (Jake Johnson), Coach (Damon Wayans Jr), and Winston (Lamorne Morris), forming a big, chaotic, but fun and supportive family. New Girl...

New Girl declined in popularity during its run and lost industry attention. Critics turned on the show around season 3, causing a change in perception of the show, per Jake Johnson. The show did not have a traditional farewell and talk show appearances, but found a new generation of viewers on Netflix.

New Girl star Jake Johnson candidly looks back on the show's mixed trajectory, detailing how it declined in popularity. The sitcom was created by Elizabeth Meriwether and ran for seven seasons on Fox. But it has maintained a supportive audience due to its streaming availability, showcasing the talents of Zooey Deschanel, Max Greenfield, Lamorne Morris, Hannah Simone, Damon Wayans Jr., and Johnson. But when it concluded in 2018, New Girl's ratings had shrunk noticeably and lost the industry attention it once had.

New Girl may have a chance at a revival thanks to its success on streaming platforms and its dedicated fan base. Lamorne Morris is enthusiastic about the possibility of another season and believes the cast would be willing to return. While there is no specific timeline for a revival, both Zooey Deschanel and creator Liz Meriwether have expressed interest in bringing the show back when the timing is right.

With talks forever swirling about the show's potential return, Lamorne Morris weighs in on the chances of a New Girl revival. Morris starred in the beloved Fox sitcom as Winston Bishop, a former basketball player and quirky roommate to Zooey Deschanel's Jessica Day. As with the rest of New Girl's unique cast of characters, Winston quickly became a sitcom genre favorite for his odder sensibilities, including his affection for his cat Ferguson and his troubles in the dating world.

Five-time Oscar nominee Michelle Williams joined us at our Deadline Red Sea Film Festival studio this week to discuss regional change, the role cinema played in her education as an actress and her next project: FX limited series Dying For Sex, which we detailed yesterday.

The Fabelmans and Brokeback Mountain actress told us she was moved to come to the Saudi Arabian festival given the amount of societal change underway in the country and the event’s foregrounding of female creatives.

“I was moved when I read about how quickly change has come to the region,” she said. “I was curious to see what the energy was like here and the people behind that change…A festival that is featuring 38 filmmakers, that’s not a token, that’s a movement. I want to come here and listen. That was my agenda. To listen to the women and men who are working here and making cinema.

Michelle Williams hasn’t been up to much since “The Fabelmans” last year, but that’s about to change. Deadline reports that the actress will star in and produce “Dying For Sex,” an upcoming limited series for FX. Based on the hit Wondery podcast, the show follows Williams as a woman diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer who leaves her husband of fifteen years to explore her sexuality before she passes away.

Best believe Neighborhood star Max Greenfield was suitably bejeweled when he attended the Los Angeles leg of Taylor Swift’s blockbuster Eras Tour.

In a series of videos posted to Instagram during Friday’s concert at SoFi Stadium, the New Girl vet — who was accompanied by his wife, casting exec Tess Sanchez, and their daughter, Lilly — showed off the dozen-plus Swift-themed bracelets adorning his wrist. One of those circlets read, “Elaine’s Big Day,” Aka the title of the Fox comedy’s 2013 Season 2 finale which featured a cameo by the “Antihero” singer herself (watch clip, above).

The multi-hyphenate has partnered with Nomadica to write, direct and produce the brand’s first creative campaign for its new Orange offering, and has joined the Los Angeles-based team to serve as creative advisor.

Nomadica’s Orange is described as a “skin contact white wine,” meaning the skin of the grapes remain in contact with their juice during fermentation. This particular blend mixes chardonnay, Grüner Veltliner and Albariño grapes with tropical notes including pineapple and jackfruit and is complemented by fragrances of orange blossom and dried chamomile flowers. The can boasts artwork titled “Plant Melody” by visual artist Yadi Liu.

The Best Limited Series/TV Movie Writing category has 111 submissions on the 2023 Emmys ballot, giving us six nominees this year. With the same number of nominees last year, they were “Dopesick” (“The People vs. Purdue Pharma” by Danny Strong), “The Dropout” (“I’m in a Hurry” by Elizabeth Meriwether), “Maid” (“Snaps” by Molly Smith Metzler), “Station Eleven” (“Unbroken Circle” by Patrick Somerville), “Impeachment: American Crime Story” (“Man Handled” by Sarah Burgess), and the winner “The White Lotus” (Mike White).

What makes last year interesting is that half of the shows in the category were not nominated for Best Limited Series, something that perhaps could repeat itself to a degree with this year’s potential nominees. Another thing of note is that almost all of the top contenders this year that had the option to submit multiple episodes only went with one, preventing any possibility of vote-splitting.

As she stares down the barrel of an 11-year prison sentence, Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes unveiled her new persona — Liz Holmes, the remorseful and soft-spoken mother of two — in an interview with The New York Times.

In the profile, which received backlash online by those critical of the paper’s willingness to give Holmes a platform, the Theranos founder reflected on how the media has portrayed her. Amanda Seyfried won an Emmy for playing Holmes in the Hulu miniseries “The Dropout,” and Jennifer Lawrence was set to embody the same role in a movie directed by Adam McKay. She has since dropped out of the project.

Elizabeth Meriwether's sitcom New Girl introduced Megan Fox’s Reagan Lucas for six episodes after Zooey Deschanel exited on maternity leave, but while she returned later on, she didn't stay forever — here is the Megan Fox New Girl exit explained. Reagan was popular among fans of the series and became a recurring character throughout season 6 when Nick rents out Jess' room while she's away on jury duty to pay for Schmidt's bachelor party. But considering the character was introduced as a filler for Deschanel’s Jess, her story arc was never intended to last long and, as a result, the Megan Fox New Girl run ended when season 6 wrapped.

Nick and Reagan hit it off and form a romantic relationship with one another. Once Jess returned, the Megan Fox New Girl arc seemed to come to a close, but it was reignited in season 6, and Nick’s romantic...

Zooey Deschanel explains why she is not rushing to make a New Girl revival. The sitcom, created by Elizabeth Meriwether, premiered on Fox back in 2011 and aired for seven seasons. It follows Jess (Deschanel) who, shortly after leaving her boyfriend, answers an ad on Craigslist and becomes roommates with three men: Nick, Winston, and Schmidt. A popular series during its initial run, New Girl has earned praise from critics and generated a strong fanbase, which has seemingly grown with streaming. In addition to Deschanel, the show stars Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, Lamorne Morris, and Hannah Simone.

Because New Girl and its cast are so beloved, questions surrounding a potential reboot have been brought up ever since the series ended. In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Deschanel says that while she does not see herself starring in revivals forever, she would be happy to return. Read her comments...

The New Girl cast is full of hugely talented actors bringing its quirky, lovable characters to life. The series revolves around Jess Day, a bubbly teacher who moves into a loft in Los Angeles with three wacky roommates after catching her boyfriend cheating on her. Created by Elizabeth Meriwether, New Girl ran for seven seasons and was a hit with both critics and audiences. The New Girl cast was given the freedom to improvise lines, and the spontaneity of the ad-libbed dialogue went a long way toward making the characters feel real and catching the attention of a mainstream audience.

Some characters in New Girl are grounded and relatable, like Jess and her on-and-off love interest Nick Miller, while others are zany comedic personalities, like Schmidt, the secret main character of New Girl, and Outside Dave. In every case, the producers found the perfect actor to play each part. The...

The seven season TV series "New Girl", starring Zooey Deschanel is leaving Netflix for exclusive streaming on Hulu:

"...'Jessica Day' (Deschanel) is a well-liked, bubbly, and adorable woman in her late 20's who is trying to get over her surprise breakup with her model boyfriend. She eventually finds a new place to stay when she moves in with three single guys: 'Nick', a bartender; 'Schmidt', a professional and modern-day casanova; and 'Coach', a former athlete turned trainer.

"Rounding out this unlikely bunch is Jessica's street-smart model friend 'Cece'. Together, this group of friends try to help Jessica learn a lot about love, life and mostly about herself, while at the same time learn a lot about themselves..."

The series was originally created, produced and written by Liz Meriwether for Fox Television Studios.

New Girl star Jake Johnson says Nick is still together with Zooey Deschanel’s Jess. Originally conceived as a star vehicle for Deschanel, Fox’s New Girl quickly morphed into a genuine ensemble comedy, making great use of the talents of Deschanel’s co-stars Johnson, Max Greenberg, Lamorne Morris and Hannah Simone. When it came to romantic chemistry, the show also got plenty of mileage from the sparks that flew between Johnson’s schlubby Nick and Deschanel’s quirky Jess, and eventually had the two characters become a couple.

It’s now been five years since the still-beloved New Girl went off the air, and according to Johnson, those romantic sparks are still flying between Nick and Jess. Appearing at SXSW to promote his directorial debut Self Reliance, Johnson addressed continued talk of a New Girl revival, and assured fans that in his mind Nick and Jess have not yet broken up.

New Girl will soon leave Netflix once the streaming service's current rights agreement expires. Created by Elizabeth Meriwether, New Girl followed the life of Zooey Deschanel's Jessica Day, a young teacher navigating the trials and tribulations of life as she lives in a Los Angeles loft with her roommates Nick Miller (Jake Johnston), Winston Schmidt (Max Greenfield), and Winston Bishop (Lamorne Morris). New Girl ran for seven seasons from 2011 to 2018, during which it was both praised by critics and audiences.

As revealed by Variety, New Girl is set to leave Netflix after being one of the services' most streamed acquired series for 10 years on April 17. It's the latest popular comedy series to leave the streaming service, following The Office, Parks and Recreation, and more recently Arrested Development. Once New Girl leaves Netflix, the entirety of the sitcom will find its new streaming home on two other services, as Disney...

New Girl is getting a new streaming home. The comedy series will be leaving Netflix and moving to Hulu and Peacock next month as part of a shared agreement between the two streamers.

All 146 episodes will be available on Hulu and Peacock beginning April 17.

New Girl was produced by Chernin Entertainment in association with 20th Television. The series is distributed by Disney Entertainment.

Netflix snagged the streaming rights to New Girl in 2013, when studios were happy to get a rich Netflix deal for their broadcast and cable shows. It is the latest Disney-produced series to be diverted to Hulu after its licensing deal with Netflix expired, joining other 20th Television shows like American Horror Story, American Crime Story, Pose, and Arrested Development.

New Girl, which originally aired on Fox for seven seasons, followed Zooey Deschanel as Jess Day, a 30-something woman who moves into a loft with three single men following a bad breakup.

After nearly 10 years on Netflix, comedy “New Girl” will be leaving the streaming service to get a new dual home on Hulu and Peacock.

“New Girl” will be available on Hulu and Peacock beginning April 17, 2023. Under a shared agreement between Disney and NBCUniversal, Peacock and Hulu will share streaming rights to all seven season of the show, comprising 146 episodes in total.

“New Girl,” starring Zooey Deschanel, first began streaming on Netflix in the U.S. in the summer of 2013. The show’s ensemble cast includes Deschanel, Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, Lamorne Morris and Hannah Simone. “New Girl” originally aired on Fox from 2011-2018.

The L.A.-set comedy centers on five millennial friends who end up “forming a charmingly dysfunctional — or strangely functional — family,” per the show’s description.

In the setup for “New Girl,” Jess Day (Deschanel) needs a new place to live after a bad breakup. An online...

Netflix has greenlighted an untitled comedy series created and executive produced by Erin Foster, starring and executive produced by Kristen Bell and executive produced by Steven Levitan. It comes from 20th Television where sisters Erin and Sara Foster have a pod deal and Levitan is under an overall deal.

This is believed to be the first series order for a 20th TV show at Netflix since the studio became part of Disney as media congloms are starting to shift their focus from exclusively supplying their own streamers to profitability. Under new (old) CEO Bob Iger, Disney has been exploring licensing more film and TV content to rivals.

20th Television was the first major TV studio to get an original series on Netflix with the Arrested Development revival more than a decade ago. The most recent 20th TV originals on the streamer were Ryan Murphy’s The Politician and Ratched and animated comedy Hoops,...

“You guys, this is insane,” said “Everything Everywhere All at Once” producer Jonathan Wang as he closed his speech accepting the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures at the 2023 Producers Guild of America Awards on Saturday. “This is insane!”

Standing next to his fellow producers Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the writer-director duo behind the hit A24 film, as well as stars Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Stephanie Hsu, Wang’s speech spoke to the sentiment that’s surrounded the 2022 SXSW premiere’s year-long rise toward being the most nominated film at the 95th Oscars. “All you other nominees, you guys shouldn’t have accepted me, you guys shouldn’t have welcomed me in, but I feel like family in this room with you,” said the self-effacing producer.

On paper, a dramedy centered on an Asian American family, set in multiple universes,...
