New Girl premiered almost a decade ago on September 20, 2011. As soon as it aired, all the characters made a place in our hearts and it became our favorite show to binge-watch. Jess (Zooey Deschanel), Nick (Jake Johnson), Winston (Max Greenfield), and Cece (Hannah Simone) felt like our own family. We got so lost in the storyline of the season that we forgot every new beginning has an end to it.

When we heard the news about the last season it almost broke our hearts. We did not want to bid farewell to the New Girl but the ending did soothe our sobs a little. Nick and Jess finally get married while Cece and Winston are seen testing the parenting waters. Wait! Our buddy Winston also welcomed a baby with his bae Ally. All of them are still good friends at the end of the season. In short, the season had a happy ending once and for all.
But the happy ending did leave us gasping for more. We went on a frantic search for seasons to watch that are just like New Girl. Even after all these years, we still cannot shake it off of our minds. This is why we have come up with a list of shows like New Girl that are a must-watch for every New Girl fan!
