Recently, Liz Meriwether, Executive Producer and creator of New Girl, took the time to speak with us about the show. She shed some light on where Jess/Nick are headed, the plans for the season, and the show in general.

I think both of those characters they’re both coming out of these relationships that didn’t go that well, and I feel like they’re not at the perfect time in their lives to sort of be together. But I think it’s actually more important I think that their friendship kind of blossoms. I just used the word blossom. I don’t think it’s going to be like— I think that that was sort of why we did the episode last week was to kind of address it, but also say it’s not really happening right now.
