New Girl Returns for a Final Season

TVLine has learned that Fox has given New Girl a Seventh and Final season of the Fox comedy.

Even though a Fox rep has not confirmed how many episodes, there have been sources saying that the farewell season will content of eight episodes. And co-star Jake Johnson had confirmed in on Twitter.

New Girl was a breakout hit when it premiered in 2011, drawing 10.3 million viewers and a 4,8 demo rating. But the ratings have cooled down with it's sixth season averaging 2.7 million viewers and a 1.3 demo rating.

I'm excited for the show to get one more season. It deserves a nice ending to its run. It's been one of my favorite shows on FOX to watch.
