After going through a rough breakup, awkward and upbeat Jess (Zooey Deschanel) moves in with three single guys. Intelligent and witty Nick is an underachiever who took the bartender off-ramp on his road to success. Schmidt obsesses over his social standing and looks at Jess as a personal project. Winston is a competitive former athlete who, after realizing he will never become a pro, moves into the loft. Together with Jess' best friend, Cece, they bond to form an unlikely, and dysfunctional, family.

New Girl has earned my trust: I fully expect the cast and crew to make the eight episodes of this shortened final season a tumult of misunderstandings, fumbles, and wacky mishaps suffused with the antic joy and love that has fueled the show. Go to Full Review Linda Holmes NPR Apr 12, 2018
I haven't seen all eight of these episodes, but I've seen several, and they're a lot of fun. Go to Full Review Caroline Framke Vox Apr 12, 2018
What this season proves is that these characters don't need to be playing drinking games and sleeping with the wrong people to be the people their fans grew to love. Go to Full Review Alex Diedrick Uproxx Nov 11, 2021
...it's the chemistry between the four mains that makes every outlandish episode work... Go to Full Review Kate Robertson The Post NZ Sep 24, 2021
Gloriously led by Zooey Deshanel. Go to Full Review Liam Mathews TV Guide May 17, 2018
It was a fittingly sentimental (and funny) send-off for one of the decade's most effortlessly enjoyable TV shows. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Raquel E @raquelea Aug 2, 2026 A slight improvement thanks to the sense of closure and seeing how the characters have moved forward, even if the shortened final season feels uneven. It doesn’t recapture the show at its best, but it provides a warm enough goodbye to characters I grew attached to. See more Michaela T @michaela02 Apr 16, 2026 This is my rating for the whole show. I did enjoy watching this, quite a few scenes made me laugh, and although it was difficult for me at first, I eventually ended up liking all the main characters. To be honest, I wasn't able to pay attention all the time, which would call for a re-watch, however, I'm not sure I'd like to do that at some point...

The time jump ruined all chemistry. I did not laugh. See more Affleberry F @JimSnow Oct 12, 2022 One of the most criminally underrated shows of all time. There isn't a bad character, or a bad episode, in the whole series. I would strongly recommend this to anyone with a sense of humor & a desire to laugh...a lot. That being said, I've seen many people criticize this last partial season, & while I do understand some of those issues, I am still grateful for it. You see, the cast & crew weren't sure if Ssn6 was going to be the last, so Liz Merryweather (creator of New Girl) made the Ssn6 ending almost work as a series ending. So when they all found out that Fox was going to cancel it, the whole cast & crew wrote a letter to the executives asking them to allow one more season so that they could give the fans a real sendoff. After that Fox gave them the greenlight for a shortened season. I personally think the show could've gone on for several more seasons, at least. Regardless, I was extremely grateful & appreciative that the cast & crew cared that much about the fans to do what they did. Also, although the last "season" (7epispde Ssn7) did feel a bit different, it holds a special place in my heart, as does the whole series. See more Jul 6, 2022 I love this show, it makes me smile a lot and the characters are captivating. I love watching them 💚 See more Read all reviews
