Get ready for more New Girl. TVLine reports FOX will begin airing two episodes of the comedy series a week, beginning next month.
The FOX TV show stars Zooey Deschanel, Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, and Lamorne Morris as roommates.
New Girl’s fifth season got a late premiere this year due to star Deschanel’s pregnancy. Because it started in January, FOX says the scheduling change is the only way to fit in all of the season’s 22 episodes.
But could this be a sign that FOX is getting ready to end the series? So far, ratings for season five have been low, with an average of 1.22 in the 18-49 demo and only 2.76 million viewers.
The new two-a-week schedule for New Girl begins April 19th.

The delay of “New Girl”‘s season 5 to January of 2016 had freed up some space on the FOX-BC schedule for “Scream Queens”; “SQ” filled the Tuesdays-at-8-to-9-pm hour during the fall of 2015. I suspect that this “burn-off” is only because FOX-BC wanted to avoid having “NG”‘s season spill into June after wanting a season of virtually interrupted original episodes due to the January start date. This is despite the fact that “Bones” (which, coincidentally, stars Zooey’s elder sister Emily Deschanel) will have had a couple of is seasons (its 10th and 11th) spill into June during its original run.… Read more »
Hope New Girl gets renewed. One of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen on Fox.
It’s likely that the grinder is doing so bad that a double New girl would bring higher ratings to the timeslot for Fox
Horrible show. Please cancel.
do not cancel
