The time has come, New Girl is leaving us for good. Season 7 starts tomorrow, Tuesday April 10th at 9:30/8:30c on Fox.
We left off of season 6 with some pretty huge bombshells. Of those, Cece and Shmidt find out that they're pregnant, and Nick and Jess finally get back together. Those last 2 minutes of the show were painfully adorable to watch. I think I have watched that scene about 17 times and cried only 14 of them, I'm getting better. And Winston reached out to his father, whom his fiance, Aly, had found.
Here's what we know so far about season 7. The lives of our beloved roommates jump forward 3 years. Yes, you did read that correctly, and I know you didn't miss it because it is in bold. Honestly, I am a little upset. Don't get me wrong, I am elated that they're even doing this season and didn't just leave us hanging at the end of season 6, but what happened in those three years? We can only hope that we will see many flashbacks to those missing 3 years.
As we learned at the end of season 6, Cece is pregnant. Sorry to spoil it, but she has a daughter. Their daughter is played by a pair of adorable twins and I am getting mad Full House vibes from that decision. Cece is working full time for her company Cece's Boys and Schmidt is a stay-at-home dad. Winston and Aly are still together, engaged for sure, but I can't confirm if they got married in the last 3 years. Nick and Jess are also still together, but contemplating getting married or not.
An overreaching theme of the season is about "adulting" and how the roommates have truly evolved into adults. The roommates have come far since how we first met them in 2011. Jess is no longer the "new girl" so the show, sadly, must come to an end. We can only hope for one more game of True American and a few more dollars in the Douchebag Jar (unless they're too "grown up" for that).
The season and series will end with a one-hour finale on Tuesday, May 15 at 9/8c. Start stock-piling the tissues now.
