Who’s returning for the final season of New Girl? According to TVLine, fans can expect to see Nasim Pedrad in the FOX series’ seventh and last season.

Pedrad has played Aly, Winston’s police partner and girlfriend, since season four of the FOX comedy. The rest of the cast includes Zooey Deschanel, Max Greenfield, Jake Johnson, Lamorne Morris, and Hannah Simone.

Initially, it was unclear if FOX would renew New Girl for a seventh season and during that time, we reported Pedrad will star in season two of the TBS comedy People of Earth. However, TVLine’s Michael Ausiello says fans need not worry. Pedrad will appear in the final season of New Girl:

New Girl fans can stop wondering/worrying how this bit of news will impact Nasim Pedrad’s involvement in the Fox’s comedy’s eight-episode final season, because I’ve got the scoop: It will have little to no effect. I’m told we will likely see Aly in at least six, maybe seven of the episodes.”

What do you think? Are you a fan of New Girl? Are you looking forward to the final season?
