Liz Meriwether says maybe the real New Girl reunion was the weird little feuds we had along the way
Elizabeth Meriwether is busy, undeniably. The New Girl creator has had five whole other TV shows on the air since her beloved Fox sitcom finished in 2018, a pretty stunning track record that hit a new high this week when Hulu announced it was ordering a second season of her thriller series Furious . So when she bluntly tells reporters that she hasn’t had time to write the scripts she’s actually…
Elizabeth Meriwether, the creator of New Girl, remains a busy woman. Since the sitcom ended in 2018, she has overseen five other TV series, including the recently announced second season of her thriller series, Furious. Despite her hectic schedule, Meriwether bluntly informs reporters that she has not had the time to write scripts for a New Girl reunion, which has been a subject of rampant speculation and trolling from its former cast.
The show's quirky personalities, including Jake Johnson, Lamorne Morris, and Max Greenfield, have all claimed at various points over the past few years that a reunion is in the works, often blaming each other for its non-occurrence. Recently, Greenfield even claimed he had seen "amazing" scripts from Meriwether for a revival, but Meriwether has dismissed these claims, saying she doesn't even have scripts prepared for things she needs to script.
Despite the internet's extended feud between the cast, Meriwether seems to enjoy the back-and-forth, suggesting that a New Girl reunion may simply be these "little videos" or the show's online presence. Perhaps, she muses, that's the real reunion.
