"New Girl" Season 5 will introduce a brief relationship between Nick (Jake Johnson) and Reagan (Megan Fox).
A few months back, it was confirmed that Fox will temporarily replace Zooey Deschanel's Jess while she is being sequestered in jury duty. Fans reacted negatively at the thought of Fox taking the lead character's place.
Now, it has also been confirmed that Fox's character will have an affair with Nick. Luckily, their relationship wouldn't last, but it is still unclear whether or not their split will have to do with Jess' return.
Meanwhile, the premiere episode of "New Girl" Season 5 will include Deschanel's Jess in its roster. It is only in episode 4 onward that she will not be part of the show. In fact, the premiere episode of "New Girl" Season 5 will see Jess teaming up with Nick in coming up with the best engagement party for Schmidt (Max Greenfield) and Cece (Hanna Simone).
According to TV Line, Nick and Jess will prepare an elaborate Bollywood number that they hope Cece will appreciate. However, the reactions to their dance will be varied. The publication also revealed that "New Girl" Season 5 will premiere on FOX staring Jan. 5, 2016. The show will air at 9 p.m. This means that John Stamos' "Grandfathered" will be moved to its new 8 p.m. timeslot.
In other news, Simone also talked about the wedding planning that will also be featured on "New Girl" Season 5. While speaking with Bustle, the actress said that Cece will search for the perfect wedding dress.
Simone revealed that Jess wouldn't be the one to help Cece pick out her wedding dress. Rather, Cece will seek the help of Winston. The episode was also directed by Johnson, which makes it even more funny.
"New Girl" Season 5 will premiere on FOX sometime next year.
