Go inside the writers' room and onto the set of the honorary queen of comfort shows--with exclusive interviews from the creator, cast, writers, directors, and crew.
Since its finale, New Girl has quietly become one of the most rewatched shows in streaming history--a certified comfort classic. Taking the well-worn hangout sitcom formula and giving it a weird, wonderful twist, the series landed in that rare space between Friends-style warmth and sheer comedic chaos. Sitcom conventions were bent (if not broken), as the cast and writers shaped characters in real time--from Nick Miller's legendary "turtle face" and Winston's codependent relationship with his cat, to Schmidt's endless barrage of absurd, quotable one-liners. More than just a sitcom, New Girl became a generational touchstone, embedding itself in pop culture and personal routines alike. Fans still yell "No notes " at friends, argue over the rules of True American, and nod to the Douchebag Jar as a model of self-regulation. It's the show that made "adorkable" a household word, gave Prince and Taylor Swift two of TV's greatest cameos, and delivered some of the most beloved moments in modern comedy--like the slow-burn brilliance of Nick and Jess's kiss, the utter chaos of Prank Sinatra, or Schmidt's passionate monologue about "chut-a-ney." In Who's That Girl, entertainment journalist Thea Glassman takes readers behind the scenes with exclusive access to creator Liz Meriwether and the full creative team, telling the story of how a scrappy, offbeat pilot evolved into a streaming juggernaut. Packed with heart, hilarity, and never-before-heard stories, this is the definitive tribute to the ultimate feel-good show. So grab your Feelings Stick, declare your love of puzzles, argue about towel rotation, and embrace your weird: You're officially invited back to Apartment 4D.
