It looks like the good times are almost over for this motley crew. Today, FOX confirmed they’ve renewed New Girl for a seventh and final season.
The ensemble comedy revolves around free-spirited educator Jess (Zooey Deschanel) and her friends; grumpy Nick (Jake Johnson), overly confident Schmidt (Max Greenfield), competitive Winston (Lamorne Morris), and model Cece (Hannah Simone).
The past few seasons have been tough on New Girl in terms of ratings. And season six dropped even lower, bringing in an average rating of a 0.93 rating in the 18-49 demo and only 2.06 million viewers. Overall, it was one of FOX‘s least-watched series for the 2016-2017 season.
The renewal is a bit of a surprise and even star Jake Johnson didn’t expect the show to be renewed. Earlier this year, he told The Daily Beast that after season six, he thinks “it’s done.” It looks like Johnson was almost right.
While FOX has confirmed the final season renewal, the network has not disclosed how many episodes have been ordered.
What do you think? Are you a fan of New Girl? Are you sad that the show’s almost over?
I’m so excited that the series is coming back … I can’t wait!!!!
I enjoyed every moment of New Girl. Personally, I am sad it is coming to an end. I think the cast were amazing and the characters were just really unique and blended well together to make it so hilarious I had to stuff my mouth while laughing sometimes. I would miss it.
I love this show and will continue to watch. Thank you for bringing it back
I am happy for season 7 to come back because I would like to see Schmidt and CeCe’s baby is,Winston and Aly wedding and Nick and Jess to get married but most of all I want to see is to see Schmidt and CeCe’s baby and I want a full season instead of 8 episodes because they might get high ratings for all the stuff on the end of season 6
Yes yes yes. I am so glad for season 7.
I’ll be sad to see it go but it has had an amazing run….All things must come to an end!!!!
Get this kid stuff off tv and get something much better.
I am glad that they got a final season. We need closure!
YOU BETTER NOT CABCEL MY SHOW UNTIL YOU GET NICK AND JESS BACK TOGETHER! TEAM NICK AND JESS FOREVER!
I like CeCe and Schmidt more but that’s my opinion
Very glad to see this hilarious show return, I hope the writers use ALL the runway for the final season!
so happy about season 7, but please dont cancel the show after that :.-(
Yay! Glad they are returning!
