About NEW GIRL:
A comedy series from executive producer and writer Liz Meriwether ("No Strings Attached"), NEW GIRL features a young ensemble cast and takes a fresh look at modern relationships.
After a bad break-up, JESS DAY (Zooey Deschanel) needs a new place to live. An online search leads her to a great loft…and three single guys she's never met before. But Jess moves in, and through her upbeat personality, unique sense of self and the unlikely support of her new roommates, she learns to move on.
NICK (Jake Johnson) is the most grounded of her new roommates...and also the most jaded. A law school dropout, he spends most of his time hiding his feelings under his hoodie and tending bar. SCHMIDT (MAX GREENFIELD) is a hustling young professional who's pretty proud of his own abs. WINSTON (Lamorne Morris) is an intensely competitive former athlete who doesn't know what to do next – but whatever he does, he wants to win it.
Rounding out the group is Jess' childhood best friend, CECE (Hannah Simone). A model with a killer deadpan, Cece is extremely protective of Jess and the target of Schmidt's inept passes. As their relationships progress, these five realize they need each other more than they thought they would and end up forming a charmingly dysfunctional – or strangely functional – family.
Upcoming guest stars include Ryan Kwanten ("True Blood"), Lizzy Caplan ("Party Down"), Rachael Harris ("The Hangover"), Jeff Kober ("Sons of Anarchy") and June Diane Raphael ("Bride Wars," "Year One").
When the series returns in January with new episodes, Jess takes charge when plans for Schmidt's 29th birthday party fall apart; Nick dates an attractive lawyer (recurring guest star Caplan) with anger management issues; Jess befriends the gang's cantankerous landlord; and on Valentine's Day, Jess is determined to have a no-strings-attached one-night stand with a handsome stranger (guest star Kwanten).
The single-camera comedy recently received a Writers Guild Award nomination for Outstanding Achievement in Television – New Series and a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Television Series – Comedy or Musical. As well, NEW GIRL star Deschanel received a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Comedy or Musical.
NEW GIRL is produced by Chernin Entertainment in association with 20th Century Fox Television. The series is created and written by Liz Meriwether. Meriwether, Jake Kasdan ("Bad Teacher"), Peter Chernin (TERRA NOVA, TOUCH), Katherine Pope (TERRA NOVA, TOUCH), Dave Finkel ("United States of Tara," "30 Rock") and Brett Baer ("United States of Tara," "30 Rock") are executive producers. Kasdan directed the pilot and has continued to direct episodes of the series.
