Max Greenfield has said a New Girl reunion appears to be progressing, revealing that he has read scripts and considers them “amazing”. His comments provide the clearest indication so far that the planned return of the Fox comedy could go ahead, though no release date, format or full casting announcement has been confirmed.

New Girl ran for seven series from 2011 and starred Zooey Deschanel, Jake Johnson, Greenfield and Lamorne Morris. Johnson had previously teased the reunion while joking that Morris might not participate after winning an Emmy for Fargo; the original cast last reunited in a 2020 voter-registration public-service announcement.
