Last season, New Girl dropped in the ratings — but not nearly as much as many other FOX shows. Will this quirky sitcom remain a bright spot on the network’s schedule. Is it essentially guaranteed a fifth season renewal (because of syndication profits) or could it actually be cancelled? Stay tuned.
New Girl revolves around free-spirited educator Jess (Zooey Deschanel), her four single male friends (Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, Lamorne Morris, and Damon Wayans Jr.), and her childhood best friend who’s now a model (Hannah Simone).
The higher a show’s ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically the following morning, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
3/31 update: FOX has renewed New Girl for a fifth season.
Final season averages: 1.31 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.72 million total viewers.

Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.
Last year comparison: The third season of New Girl averaged a 2.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.31 million total viewers.
Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you still like the New Girl TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fifth season?
Even with the main character gone for a while, it’s a great show. Not many can pull that off.
Love, Love , Love the show. Please don’t cancel.
I LOVE NEW GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think it should be renewed. Jess and nick should have more relationship news and Cece and Schmidt wedding should be seen! The wedding jitters and Schmidt having to grow up.
they continue this show and marvel agents, but cancel forever, resurrection, the following, i dont undestand the networks.
I love New Girl, it has been a show that lightens up my day in all seriousness. I love the humor specially Schmidt’s character. Don’t cancel it!! if anything, just become a Netflix TV Series!!! Those shows are much successful nowadays anyways.
The show is awesome. It lost its angle in season 3 but they more than reinvented themselves in season 4. The current season is seriously hilarious thank God it was renewed.
I love lookin at Chris Meloni…drool, but let’s understand that Surviving Jack was a little weak.
New Girl is hilarious.
I don’t understand why this show was made in the first place! It’s so boring. Not funny at all. It;s like people trying to mimic funny situation in real life and fail miserably at it.
Please please cancel it and replace it with something good!
Love new girl keep it on
Started watching New Girl earlier today and I am in love with it!!! I was in need of finding a new series to watch and thank god New Girl is on Netflix! I hope it gets renewed!!!
We get it, there are 4 pathetic dudes who are whipped by Zoey. This show is terrible, please cancel it.
I love New girl!! Hope it stays alive haha
I love the show New Girl and I think it should be kept on tv and not cancelled. I have seen a few episodes and don’t get to watch it because I can never find what channel it’s on and what time it’s on. Please keep the show on tv and renew the show.
It’s always been on Tuesday nights at 9. How can you not find it?
+1
I agree with Brian, Surviving Jack was hilarious and definitely better than New Girl has become. It seems like with the addition of “Coach” they jumped the shark. The story lines are meandering and stupid as if they are out of material. I love Zooey Deschanel and I hope when New Girl is over she is totally typecast and plays a similar kooky character in the future, but I think this show has run its course. As a side note, I didn’t even see any advertising that the new season was starting last night. I would have missed it altogether… Read more »
I agree. The New Girl definitely Jumped the Shark with the return of coach. He became the new ” funny black man” and pushed the Winston character, which I like, to the side. I have nothing against coach/Damon Wayans Jr., but this definitely feel like a futile attempt to increase ratings.
If they can keepthis show for this long then FOX NEEDS TO BRING BACK SURVIVING JACK!!! Its much more entertaining and hilarious
