The possibility of a reunion for the beloved sitcom "New Girl" appears unlikely, as creator Liz Meriwether confirmed that no scripts are currently in the works. This announcement comes in light of recent comments made by Max Greenfield, who portrayed Schmidt on the show. Greenfield had suggested that he had read some "amazing" scripts that hinted at a return of the series, sparking hopes among fans. However, Meriwether firmly stated, "There are no scripts," clarifying that any talk of a revival is premature. She provided this update during the Season 1 finale screening of her latest project. Fans of "New Girl" have expressed their enthusiasm for the series over the years, making the notion of a reunion consistently popular among the show's original audience. "New Girl" aired on Fox from 2011 to 2018, showcasing the lives and relationships of five friends living together in Los Angeles. It garnered critical acclaim and developed a devoted fan base, making any reunion talk particularly appealing. However, with Meriwether's recent comments, it seems that any plans for a continuation of the story or a fresh take on the beloved characters remain firmly off the table. While the excitement for reunion specials has captured the entertainment world, particularly in light of several successful revivals, it appears that fans of "New Girl" will have to contend with the show’s legacy as it currently stands. As of now, there are no official plans or development discussions regarding future episodes or scripts, leaving the show's storyline concluded after its seventh season. For now, devotees of the show can continue to enjoy the original episodes, which have become a staple in the comedy genre. Fans can only wait and see if the tides will turn in the future, but for the moment, Liz Meriwether’s comments confirm that "New Girl" will not be making a comeback anytime soon, according to Variety.
