Liz Meriwether Playfully Responds to Max Greenfield's New Girl Reunion Hype

During a recent appearance on a morning program, Max Greenfield suggested that a New Girl reunion might be in the works, claiming he had read scripts authored by Liz Meriwether and praised them as "amazing." Meriwether responded on Instagram with a humorous take, saying the scripts were initially solid but were altered after each cast member started offering detailed notes. She quipped that Jake Johnson wanted his character Nick to be extremely thin, frequently naked, and to perform a fully nude dance to Dua Lipa’s "Levitating," a request she found nonsensical.

She also joked that Lamorne Morris asked for an excessively long chain of jewelry for Winston, while Greenfield allegedly wanted the show’s title to read "Max Greenfield is the New Girl." The creator clarified she only commented because Greenfield made the speculation public, and no formal reunion plans have been announced. Jake Johnson later teased the situation on Instagram, suggesting Greenfield may have confused his own new series scripts with the rumored reunion.
