In late July 2026, actor Max Greenfield told the Today show that a reunion of the sitcom *New Girl* was moving forward, saying he had seen scripts written by creator Elizabeth (Liz) Meriwether and describing them as “amazing.” No official release date or confirmation was provided. A few days later, in early August 2026, Greenfield clarified in a Variety interview that he had misread an email about the project and retracted his earlier comment, stating that there is no official update on a revival. Other cast members and the creator have made informal remarks, but no concrete plans have been announced. In late August 2026, creator Liz Meriwether explicitly denied the reunion rumors, stating that “there are no scripts” for such a project. Speaking at a screening for her new series, Meriwether addressed the discrepancy between her comments and Greenfield’s previous claims, noting she does not currently have scripts written for the projects she is working on. While a television revival appears unlikely, the cast—including Zooey Deschanel, Jake Johnson, and Lamorne Morris—is scheduled to reunite on October 10 at the Chrysalis Butterfly Ball in Los Angeles to receive the Rising Phoenix Award.
