The comedy series was originally supposed to end its run in season 6, which already had a satisfactory finale. Creator Liz Meriweather together with executive producer Brett Baer, however, fought for another season and FOX granted their request. The writers said that "New Girl" season 7 is a gift to the fans.
"We wanted to be able to end the story for them in a way that the show had a full completion," Baer told E! "This was always a show about growing up and this was a way to put our final bow on it."
Meanwhile, Schmidt becomes a stay-at-home dad and a helicopter parent in "New Girl" season 7. He and Cece are raising a 3-year-old daughter named Ruth.
Winston and Aly, on the other hand, are also going to be parents when the show returns. Winston's dad, whom he reached out to in the sixth season's finale, will also appear in the new season. JB Smoove will play the character.
"New Girl" debuted in 2011 and received favorable feedback from viewers and critics. The show received several nominations from the Golden Globes and the Emmy Awards in its run.
FOX renewed "New Girl" for season 7 at the last minute. Catch its premiere on Tuesday, April 10, at 9:30 p.m. EST.
