Fox has renewed the Zooey Deschanel-led comedy for a seventh and final season. While an official episode count has yet to be determined, sources say the final season will be a shorter run.
The decision to end the single-camera comedy with season seven comes as no surprise, as creator Liz Meriwether has been vocal about starting a new chapter. Meanwhile, she has Fox pilot Thin Ice currently in consideration, though it appears unlikely to move forward at this time. As for the cast, they will have no shortage of other opportunities once New Girl ends its run.
