New Girl is one of the iconic TV shows that has become a favorite comfort watch for many. Created by Elizabeth Meriwether, the series was fun, fresh, and hilarious because of its diverse characters and their ongoing life changes. Fans laughed, cried, and grew up with their favorite characters over seven seasons.
Now, with reboots and spin-offs popular on TV, fans want to see New Girl return. In a recent interview with Comic Book, actor Lamorne Morris mentioned that co-star Jake Johnson is the reason the show hasn’t been revived yet.
Morris and Johnson have a great friendship both on and off the screen. They often joke around with each other, and Morris continues this trend.
‘New Girl’ Had a Successful Seven Season Run
“I’ll say this: a lot of times, politicians, they overpromise, but me as a politician, I want to promise the right amount, and I want to let all the folks know that I will do anything for a New Girl reunion,” Morris said. He added,
“…Now, Jake Johnson, who’s my rival, who’s my political opponent, Jake says that he’s down, but Jake is not. Jake is not, folks. I am Lamorne for the people. Jake Johnson, not so much.
I want everyone to call Jake out. Call Jake Johnson out, let him know that his career began the moment he stepped on that New Girl set, and he should never abandon his roots. Never. Not like me. That’s why I always come home to New Girl land, always.”
