When New Girl was still in its first season almost 10 years ago, a wallowing Nick refused to leave a photo booth after seeing his ex Caroline at a wedding. “This is my home now,” he told Jess. “It’s got everything that I need!” Now, Netflix is losing yet another beloved comedy-New Girl to a competing streaming service. Why did New Girl leave Netflix? Where is New Girl streaming now?
Netflix got the show's streaming rights in 2013, but the licensing deal has since expired. New Girl, created by Liz Meriwether, originally aired on FOX for seven seasons starting in 2011. The series centers on quirky teacher Jessica Day (Zooey Deschanel) when she moves into a Los Angeles loft with three dudes, Nick Miller (Jake Johnson), Winston Bishop (Lamorne Morris) and Winston Schmidt (Max Greenfield).
New Girl aired on Fox from September 2011 to May 2018, and then it arrived on Netflix in mid-2013, per Variety. It went on to become such a Netflix staple that numerous fans can’t seem to imagine not having it available on the platform anymore. “The last day to watch New Girl on Netflix happens next month and I want to cry,” one wrote. Another (hopefully mostly jokingly) said that “life has lost all meaning” now that the show is leaving. Still another fan tweeted that they’re “bouta lose [their] sh*t.” Meanwhile, it’s time for “therapy as a replacement” for someone else.

Damon Wayans Jr. also starred in the pilot as original roommate Coach, and returned as a full-fledged cast member in Seasons 3 and 4. Megan Fox also had a significant recurring role as Reagan, who rented out Jess’ room during Deschanel’s Season 5 maternity leave, then returned as Nick’s girlfriend for a hefty stint in Season 6. Additionally, Nasim Pedrad recurred in later seasons as Winston’s LAPD partner-turned-wife Aly.
New Girl is the latest comfort show to depart Netflix following Friends (which moved to HBO Max), The Office (exclusive to Peacock) and Schitt’s Creek (now available on Hulu). Arrested Development, which was revived as a Netflix original in 2013, is also leaving the service in a matter of days.

New Girl is hardly the first Disney-owned show to leave Netflix for the former’s streaming services. Most famously, all of Disney’s Marvel shows were canceled soon after Disney launched its own platform and eventually found their way to Disney+ when their Netflix contract was up. Other shows have been transferred from Netflix to Disney-owned Hulu in recent years, including American Horror Story, American Crime Story, Pose, and Arrested Development.Netflix got the show's streaming rights in 2013, but the licensing deal has since expired.

Beginning Monday, April 17, New Girl is moving to Hulu and Peacock, at which point it will no longer be available to binge-watch on Netflix. For the uninitiated: New Girl ran for seven seasons on Fox, between 2011 and 2018. When the series begins, newly single Jess Day (Zooey Deschanel) “needs a new place to live,” according to the synopsis. “An online search leads her to a great loft… and three single guys she’s never met before: Nick (Jake Johnson), law school dropout turned bartender is the most grounded… and the most jaded; Schmidt (Max Greenfield), a hustling young professional who’s pretty proud of his own abs; and Winston (Lamorne Morris), an intensely competitive former athlete who doesn’t know what to do next. Rounding out the group is Jess’ childhood best friend Cece (Hannah Simone), a model with a killer deadpan. The five-some realize they need each other more than they thought they would and end up forming a charmingly dysfunctional – or strangely functional – family.”Damon Wayans Jr. also starred in the pilot as original roommate Coach, and returned as a full-fledged cast member in Seasons 3 and 4. Megan Fox also had a significant recurring role as Reagan, who rented out Jess’ room during Deschanel’s Season 5 maternity leave, then returned as Nick’s girlfriend for a hefty stint in Season 6.
