Max Greenfield confirmed he has seen scripts for a 'New Girl' revival, stating it's happening according to series creator Liz Meriwether.
In simple terms, 'New Girl' may be making a comeback, as Max Greenfield, who portrayed Schmidt on the show, has shared that he has seen scripts for new episodes. This announcement was made during an interview on NBC's 'Today' show, where he emphasized that the revival, as far as he knows, is genuinely in the works.
Greenfield assured audiences that series creator Liz Meriwether has crafted new stories that fans might find exciting. He stated, "I’ve seen scripts. She’s written them. They’re amazing." This marks a significant development for fans who have long speculated about the potential for a revival since the show's conclusion in 2018.
The sitcom 'New Girl' enjoyed a successful run for seven seasons on Fox, gaining a dedicated following that has only grown on streaming platforms. Over the years, fans have consistently called for a revival, leading to ongoing discussions and speculation about the show's future. Greenfield's recent comments could signal that those expectations are about to be met.
In the same interview, Greenfield mentioned the collective talent of the original cast, suggesting that a reunion, including Zooey Deschanel, Jake Johnson, Lamorne Morris, and Hannah Simone, could be possible as they all engage in diverse projects. The prospects of these beloved characters returning, with new adventures crafted by Meriwether, seems promising and encourages optimism among fans.
While Greenfield expresses confidence about the new scripts, Meriwether has displayed a mix of caution and enthusiasm regarding the revival. In an earlier interview with TheWrap, she conveyed her uncertainty about returning to the 'New Girl' universe but acknowledged that she continues to have stories to share. Meriwether mentioned her hesitations about reboots, stating, "I don’t know if there’s more, in my mind, of things I want to say.” However, her active text exchanges with the cast suggest that the revival may be more than just an idea.
Merely contemplating a revival indicates that the original creative team remains engaged and invested in the characters that fans adore. As discussions continue to unfold, the dialogue about what constitutes a worthy continuation of such a beloved series remains hotly debated among audiences.
