New Girl creator Liz Meriwether has weighed in on the possibility of rebooting the beloved TV show, admitting it “would be exciting” to see it return. The comedy series ran from 2012 to 2018, and starred Zooey Deschanel in the lead role as teacher Jessica Day. Liz added that her answer is probably not going to be enough to stop New Girl stars Jake Johnson and Lamorne Morris from passing a decision about a potential reboot over to her. Liz’s remarks about the possibility of revisiting Jess’ story comes after Zooey said she’d be “very happy” to star in a reboot. Max added he would ultimately let Liz decide whether or not “there was some way back in”.
