New Girl ran for seven seasons, from September 2011 to May 2018. In addition to Greenfield, the cast included Zooey Deschanel, Lamorne Morris, Damon Wayans Jr. and Hannah Simone.

In a recent interview on Today, Morris jokingly claimed that Johnson is the sole holdout for a reunion, joking that Hollywood has changed him, with Johnson now in the cast of the big-budget Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Johnson recently spoke about his memories of the show in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, saying, “It definitely doesn’t feel like yesterday. It feels like a long time ago, but I’m still so close to the whole cast.”

“It’s crazy that we’ve now known each other for 15 years, but what a dream that show was, and the fan base of that show was so fun, and so honestly, being able to do a show like this show is because of that. So it’s really a blessing,” he said while promoting his new Apple TV series, Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed.

Speaking to PEOPLE in February 2026, Greenfield noted how special it is when the cast all got together.

“If you put us together in any circumstance, we go right back,” Greenfield said at the time. “It’s really scary. We all keep in touch in a really beautiful way. I was texting with Jake this morning.”
