Announcing the full season pickup, Kevin Reilly, President of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company stated, “We love the charming Zooey Deschanel and the entire cast, we’re knocked out with the work that Liz Meriwether and the whole staff is doing and we are really psyched about the upcoming episodes in the pipeline. It’s great that audiences have responded so positively so far and we’re confident that even more people will embrace the show – and more comedy on FOX – this season.”
The series was created and written by Liz Meriwether and, according to Fox, debuted as the network’s highest rated fall sitcom in 10 years. New Girl is now the number 1 Tuesday show among adults 18-49 as well as the fall 2011’s number 1 new series among adults 18-34, women 18-34 and teens.
New Girl follows Deschanel as a “young woman who, after a bad breakup, moves in with three single guys she doesn’t know, changing all of their lives in unexpected ways.”
