New Girl is one of the best sitcoms of all-time and this isn’t an argument or up for discussion. I don’t know about you, but I still rewatch the entire series at least twice a year. Do you know how long it has been since the series finale? It’s been a minute! How old was the cast when the sitcom first premiered and how old are they now?

While I won’t allow any arguments about how New Girl is one of the best in the sitcom game, I’ll accept opinions on the number of seasons. Many fans believe that seven seasons is too short and wish there had instead been 10 seasons. I, however, believe Jess and her BFFs called it a day at the right time. After all, there are way too many shows these days with an unnecessary amount of seasons. But New Girl? An amazing episode every single time. Not a minute wasted. So why drag the series along? Instead, it got a perfect sendoff.

Beginning April 17, New Girl will stream on Hulu and Peacock. That’s right, the crew is leaving Netflix after nearly 10 years to a new streaming home. Yes, a decade! It’s been that long.

How old was Zooey Deschanel when New Girl premiered?

When the first season of New Girl filmed in 2011, Zooey Deschanel was 31-years-old. Today, Zooey Deschanel is 43-years-old. The actress was well known before starring in as Jessica Day in the FOX comedy, but it wasn’t until the sitcom premiered that Deschanel became a household name.

How old was Hannah Simone when New Girl premiered?

Is there a better BFF to have than Cece? At the start of the showHannah Simone was 31-years-old. Today, the star is 42-years-old and stars in the new hit comedy Not Dead Yet. 

How old was Nasim Pedrad in New Girl?

Actress Nasim Pedrad may have joined the crew later on, but she made a huge impact as Aly Nelson, Winston’s girlfriend, later wife. Pedrad played Aly from 2015 (in season 4, age 33) to the series finale in 2018. She is 41-years-old today.
