Lamorne Morris Tells New Girls Fans to 'Call Out Jake Johnson' for Revival Rejection

New girl ended its run in 2018, but has gained a cult following eagerly awaiting a revival or spinoff. Co-stars Lamorne Morris and Jake Johnson have played hot potato over reunion talks, but Lamorne wants fans to know that Johnson is the one holding things up.




Lamorne Morris pledges to New girl reunion despite co-star Jake Johnson's mixed response. Johnson and Morris starred together as lead characters Nick Miller and Winston Bishop, childhood friends who lived with Jessica Day (Zooey Deschanel) and Schmidt (Max Greenfield) in the same loft. The show had such an eclectic cast that it kept viewers hooked for seven seasons before being canceled due to continued ratings declines. New girl gave his characters a fitting send-off, but Morris is adamant that the series could still go on. In an interview with ComicBook, he called out Johnson for admitting that he's the reason why a New girl the meeting would not have started.

New Girl had a lot of cameos that kept the comedy show fresh. From Olivia Rodrigo to Dylan O'Brien, fans forgot these actors were on New Girl.


“I will say this: many times, politicians promise too much, but I as a politician, I want to promise the right amount, and I want to let everyone know that I will do anything for a New girl meeting“, Morris said. “…Now, Jake Johnson, who is my rival, who is my political opponent, Jake says he's down, but Jake is not down. Jake is not down, folks. I'm Lamorne to the people. Jake Johnson, not so muchI want everyone to tell Jake the truth. Call Jake Johnson, let him know his career started the moment he stepped foot on that New girl established, and should never abandon its roots. Never. Not like me. That's why I always come home to New girl earth, always.”


I want everyone to tell Jake the truth.

Morris and Johnson cultivated a long-standing friendship after New girl is over, but both have been trading barbs since Morris began openly talking about a revival. “Well, look… I call that Lamorne 'political Lamorne,'” Johnson joked. “For the people, Lamorne will do anything. Sign the contract, Big Daddy, I'll put your numbers on the street, Lamorne.” He has previously dismissed suggestions for an encore season or a reunion, however, especially if both involved the cast fondly remembering their characters or the series.

“I will say I hate both of those things,” he said in a separate interview. “So I don’t like the idea of ​​all of us sitting on a couch and hugging each other in front of the cameras and being honest and like, ‘What does Max Greenfield mean to me…’ with him right there. That all seems really bizarre to me, as does the idea of ​​doing, ‘Let’s get the gang back together.’ And now it’s like, ‘Nick Miller is definitely fatter.’ I think we’re all with our fake kids. I don’t know.” Greenfield shared his sentiment in a separate interview, saying it’s too early for a revival; he said he’s immediately on board if showrunner Liz Meriwether comes along with an idea or a script.


New girl is currently streaming on Peacock and Hulu.
