‘New Girl’ Reunion Is Not Happening: ‘There Are No Scripts,’ Says Creator Liz Meriwether
“New Girl” isn’t coming back anytime soon. Despite recent claims by Max Greenfield, who played Schmidt on the hit Fox sitcom, that he has read “amazing” scripts for a reunion, show creator Liz Meriwether insists, “There are no scripts.” I caught up with Meriwether at the Season 1
The news that a "New Girl" reunion is not in the works may come as a disappointment to fans of the show, but it's not entirely surprising given the current TV landscape. With so many reboots and revivals competing for attention, it's clear that only the most promising projects are getting the green light. The fact that Max Greenfield, one of the show's stars, had claimed to have read scripts for a reunion only adds to the confusion, and Meriwether's statement serves as a reality check.
In the context of the entertainment industry, this news highlights the challenges of reviving a beloved show. Even with a dedicated fan base and a talented cast, there are many factors to consider before moving forward with a reunion. The fact that Meriwether is not working on scripts suggests that the idea is not currently a priority, and it may be some time before we see the gang from "New Girl" back on screen. This news may also serve as a reminder that even the most popular shows can be difficult to revive, and that the bar for success is high.
As we wait to see if "New Girl" will ever make a comeback, fans of the show may want to keep an eye on the cast's other projects. The show's stars, including Zooey Deschanel and Jake Johnson, have all gone on to work on other TV shows and films, and it will be interesting to see how they continue to evolve as artists. While a "New Girl" reunion may not be in the cards, the show's legacy lives on, and its influence can still be seen in many other sitcoms and comedies.
