The reunion was a treat for fans, who couldn’t get enough of seeing the iconic gang back in action. Even six years after the final episode aired, New Girl remains an evergreen favourite, with its infectious humour and lovable characters.
What happens when the lovable, goofy men of New Girl reunite? Well, fans are going wild, and it’s no surprise! Max Greenfield, Jake Johnson, Lamorne Morris and Damon Wayans Jr. are back in the spotlight, reminding everyone why they made New Girl one of the most cherished sitcoms of the last decade. These four hilarious guys who brought Schmidt, Nick, Winston and Coach to life, recently gathered for PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive issue, marking the first time they’ve been on camera together since the show ended six years ago. And let’s just say, the magic is still there.
As soon as they came together for the photo shoot, their natural camaraderie and comedic energy were on full display. “We were around each other for many hours a day,” Lamorne Morris recalled about the show, which ran from 2011 to 2018 on Fox. “So, when you get around each other, you instantly get back into silliness,” he added.
The reunion was a treat for fans, who couldn’t get enough of seeing the iconic gang back in action. Even six years after the final episode aired, New Girl remains an evergreen favourite, with its infectious humour and lovable characters still entertaining audiences. This reunion only fueled nostalgia as fans flooded social media with reactions.
Max Greenfield shared his thoughts on why the show has remained so popular. “It’s the perfect binge show,” he said. “It’s so accessible now because of streaming platforms like Netflix. Every year, new college kids discover it and end up watching all 130 episodes in one go.” Clearly, New Girl is a show that keeps on giving.
When asked about the possibility of a New Girl reunion, the actors remained cautious and optimistic. “None of us have any power about a reunion,” Jake Johnson explained. “But I think we all would if the right thing came. It’s really fun to be together,” Max added. “It’s really up to Liz Meriwether, the creator. If she wants to bring it back, we’re all in,” he further said.
As expected, fans couldn’t stop gushing over the reunion photos, flooding social media with praise. “How are they the exact epitomisation of their characters?” one fan asked. Another said, “Loooove them!!! They make me the happiest, so Funny!” The compliments kept pouring in, with fans noting the cast’s continued charm and wit. “Proof that being funny can make men sexier,” one commented, while another wrote, “Congrats to you all for being the sexiest men alive.”
The love from fans is undeniable and one thing is for sure – the New Girl gang’s bond and infectious humour haven’t faded one bit.
