'New Girl' is an American TV sitcom created by Elizabeth Meriwether.

The series was produced for the Fox Broadcasting Company by 20th Television, and originally aired between 2011 and 2018.

'New Girl' is an ensemble series, produced in Los Angeles, as a single-camera comedy. The show incorporates elements of humor and drama as the actors, who are in their early 30s, struggle with maturing relationships and career choices.

The show 'New Girl' was supposed to be a six-season series, and like for every other show the information about the show ratings mattered and the sixth season didn't perform as expected.

It was the decision of the Fox Broadcasting Company to cancel the show but it was one of the cast members who wrote a letter for a proper farewell to the fans which led to the seventh and final season of the show 'New Girl'.

The title of the show was supposed to suggest to the viewers of the pretty girl who has moved into an apartment with three unknown guys.

Here are all the 'New Girl' quotes, Jess 'New Girl' quotes and funny tv show quotes.
