Since Fox will be on maternity leave for the first half of the season, the showrunners created a long distance cover to make up for Fox's absence. Nick will be returning home to LA, while Reagan will be staying in Seattle for work.

Moreover, reports said that Jess and Nick's relationship will also be explored next season. Jess, who is portrayed by "500 Days of Summer" actress Zooey Deschanel, will be struggling with Nick and Reagan's recent romantic developments. In the previous season, Jess was already choking down her feelings for Nick. With the recent happenings, things will be even harder for her, executive producer Brett Baer told TVLine.

On the other hand, newlyweds Schmidt (Max Greenfield) and Cece (Hannah Simone) will realize that they need an apartment all to themselves and the couple will also consider having a baby. Reports said the couple will be struggling to pick out a house.

Fans should look forward to the forthcoming season since Deschanel will be debuting as a director in the premiere episode titled "House Hunt." Furthermore, a crossover episode with police comedy sitcom "Brookly Nine-Nine" is expected to happen in the upcoming season. The crossover will reportedly happen when Schmidt will receive an award from his High School.

"New Girl" will be returning to FOX on Tuesday, Sept. 20, at 8:30 p.m. EDT on ABC.
