New Girl Reunion Scripts Do Not Exist, Creator Says

A potential reunion for the popular sitcom 'New Girl' is not currently in development, according to show creator Liz Meriwether. Meriwether explicitly stated that "There are no scripts" for a reunion project, directly addressing recent comments made by actor Max Greenfield, who portrayed the character Schmidt. Greenfield had previously suggested that he had read "amazing" scripts for a reunion, sparking speculation among fans about a possible return of the series.

Meriwether's clarification came during an event related to the season finale of her current series, indicating that while she is actively involved in other television projects, a 'New Girl' reunion is not among them at this time. The original series, which aired on Fox from 2011 to 2018, followed the lives of a quirky woman named Jess and her three male roommates in Los Angeles. The show concluded after seven seasons, with its final episode airing on July 31, 2018. The cast, including Zooey Deschanel as Jess, Jake Johnson as Nick, Lamorne Morris as Winston, and Hannah Simone as Cece, has often expressed fondness for the show and their time working together, leading to ongoing fan interest in a revival or reunion.

Despite the absence of concrete plans for a reunion, the enduring popularity of 'New Girl' continues to fuel discussions about its potential return. The series garnered a dedicated fanbase over its seven-season run, praised for its humor, character development, and relatable storylines. The show's success also led to numerous awards and nominations, including Golden Globe and Emmy nods for its cast and writing. The cast members have, in the past, engaged in playful interactions on social media that hinted at the possibility of future projects, but Meriwether's latest statement provides a definitive answer regarding the existence of any current reunion scripts. Greenfield's earlier remarks, while enthusiastic, appear to have been premature or based on speculative discussions rather than concrete production plans. The absence of scripts means that any reunion, if it were to happen in the future, would require significant development and commitment from the original creative team and the network. As of now, fans hoping to see the loftmates back together will have to rely on rewatching the original episodes.
