New Girl is an American television sitcom created by Elizabeth
Meriwether for the Fox Broadcasting Company that originally aired
between 2011 and 2018. The series revolves around a quirky teacher,
Jess (Zooey Deschanel), after she moves into a Los Angeles loft with
three men, Nick (Jake Johnson), Schmidt (Max Greenfield), and Winston
(Lamorne Morris); Jess' best friend Cece (Hannah Simone) is also part
of the series. The show combines comedy and drama elements as the
characters, who are in their early thirties, deal with maturing
relationships and career choices. New Girl is a joint production
between Elizabeth Meriwether Pictures and 20th Century Fox Television
and syndicated by 20th Television.Produced in Los Angeles as a
single-camera comedy, New Girl is an ensemble show aimed at a general
audience. Most episodes are anchored around Jess, who, according to
series creator Meriwether, would have played a side character on other
shows. The show's first marketing push was on Zooey Deschanel and the
promotional tagline "Simply Adorkable". The producers rejected early
criticism of Jess's girlishness, insisting that Jess was not meant to
be emblematic of all women. Instead, they aimed to portray realistic,
emotionally driven characters and to approach the show from that angle
rather than simply firing off punchlines.New Girl has received acclaim
from critics and was named one of the best new comedies of the 2011
fall season. The pilot episode drew 10.28 million U.S. viewers and a
4.8 adults 18â€"49 demo rating, making it the highest-rated fall debut
for a Fox scripted show since 2001. Particular praise has been given
to the performances of Deschanel, Greenfield, Simone, Johnson and
Morris. Max Greenfield was considered the show's breakout star in
season 1, before critics named Jake Johnson the breakout star of
season 2. The show has been nominated for several awards, including
five Golden Globe Awards and five Primetime Emmy Awards.
