Zooey Deschanel reveals she would “really love” to revisit New Girl in a reboot of the hit show

Zooey Deschanel talked about the prospect of appearing in a New Girl reboot during an interview with the Wall Street Journal on Monday.

The 43-year-old actress, who played lead character Jessica Day on the show, which aired from 2011-2018, said she especially loved her time on the Fox sitcom and wouldn’t rule out a return to the series.

The 500 Days of Summer star, who was previously featured in a series of throwback photos by beau Jonathan Scott, also discussed her with her boyfriend J and her feelings about songwriting in the candid chat.

Speaking of rebooting the sitcom, she said, “It kind of depends on the circumstances. I wouldn’t want to spend the rest of my life doing reboots.”

However, the Bridge to Terabithia actress noted that of all her other projects, she would be most willing to appear in an updated version of New Girl.

The artist said, “I definitely had a great time and would love to come back.”

New Girl ran for a total of seven seasons, which originally aired from 2011 to 2018.

Deschanel portrayed the show’s main character, Jess, and she starred alongside artists such as Jake Johnson, Lamorne Morris, and Hannah Simone.

The program received generally positive reviews during its run, and the star subsequently appeared on a rewatch podcast titled Welcome to Our Show, which debuted last January.

The actress went on to talk about life with Scott, sharing how they got close before while flipping a house.

“When you’re renovating a home during a pandemic, there was always something we didn’t know would take this long,” she said.

Deschanel then noted that her 44-year-old boyfriend had gone out of his way to make her happy while they renovated their home.

‘When I first met Jonathan I told him how badly I wanted a solarium. He made it happen,” she said.

The actress also talked about the activities she and Scott enjoy, including “escape rooms, that’s our thing.” We love to take the kids to family movies. We like to go to parties and celebrations.’

The artist was previously married to Ben Gibbard from 2009 to 2012, and later to Jacob Pechenik from 2015 to 2020.

Deschanel shares a daughter and son named Elsie Otter and Charlie Wolf, aged seven and five, with her second husband.

The actress told the magazine that she had developed a standard routine for when she took care of her children.

“When I have my kids, I wake up at 6:30 am, I have to jump right out of bed and make sure they’re dressed and fed and ready to go to school,” she said.

She met Scott during a taping of Carpool Karaoke: The Series in 2019 and they started dating that same year.

Deschanel went on to talk about her songwriting process and said she valued her privacy while composing music.

The actress stated, “I just need to be alone for a few days. I need to be able to play with something, come back to it.’

The artist added that she didn’t want anyone around while she came up with songs.

“I need that time, I can’t have people interrupt, I can’t feel like people are listening. It feels like something private to me,” she said.
