New Girl reunion confirmed: the gang’s getting back together
Max Greenfield has finally addressed whether the New Girl cast will reunite on screen, sharing a hopeful update in a new interview.
If you’ve been sat around, cup of tea in hand, wishing the New Girl lot would get the band back together—well, you might want to brace yourself. After years of “will they, won’t they” chat, it sounds like a proper reunion could actually be on the cards. And not just one of those vague, everyone-smiles-on-Zoom affairs. So, let’s break down what we actually know—because there’s a bit to unpack here.
Max Greenfield hinted on US morning telly, talking Today with Jenna & Sheinelle: "As far as I know, it’s happening." And just to add a sprinkle of excitement, he reckons New Girl creator Elizabeth Meriwether’s already drafted it all out: "I’ve seen scripts, she’s written them; they’re amazing. She’s a very talented writer."
Scripts Exist, but When?
Greenfield, who, let’s be honest, is Schmidt to most of us, has all but said the reunion’s actually in motion. What’s not clear is when we’ll get to see it or whether it’s a one-off thing, a special, or a full-on series revival. For those keeping track, New Girl launched in 2011, ran a decent seven seasons, and then left fans hanging for a proper follow-up ever since its 2018 finish. With a reunion apparently scripted, it’s finally sounding like the hypothetical’s edging into reality.
New Girl first aired in 2011 and wrapped up after seven seasons, but fans have kept calling for a reunion ever since.
The Gang Since the Loft
Since New Girl wound up, the core cast have not exactly been twiddling their thumbs. In case you’ve lost track, here’s a quick refresher on what everyone’s been getting up to:
- Zooey Deschanel: Turned up in 2024’s ‘Harold and the Purple Crayon’ and then in 2025’s ‘Merv’, plus kept busy with voice work—she’s Bridget in those Trolls sequels, if you’ve not clocked that already.
- Jake Johnson: If you caught any Spider-Verse films lately, that’s him voicing grown-up Peter B. Parker. He’s also had leading turns in telly: ‘Stumptown’, ‘Hoops’, and, oddly enough, something called ‘Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed’.
- Lamorne Morris: He popped up in the Jumanji sequels as a regular comic sidekick, with the next one—‘Jumanji: Open World’—already lined up. Reliable for a laugh.
- Max Greenfield: Went from films like ‘Promising Young Woman’ to fronting network sitcom ‘The Neighborhood’ as Dave Johnson. Next stop is the fourth season of ‘The White Lotus’, so keep an eye out there.
The bottom line: everyone involved’s been busy, but there’s clearly still an appetite (both on-screen and off) to see them all wind up back in that shambolic loft. When and how it’ll land is still anyone’s guess—or at least, they’re not telling us yet.
