New Girl is set to add a rather hot girl.
Sources have confirmed that Megan Fox will come on board New Girl Season 5 of this Fox sitcom for multiple episodes, moving in to the loft while Zooey Deschanel is on maternity leave.
Fox will portray Reagan, a straight-shooting pharmaceutical sales representative who is in town on business.
Look for the beauty to shake things up when she rents out Jess’ room while our favorite middle school principal is sequestered on jury duty.
Fox will debut on Episode 6 of Season 5.
(The series filmed the first five episodes of Season 5 last spring prior to Deschanel taking off on maternity leave; she gave birth to a daughter in August.)
“It’s insane to me that such a gorgeous person can be so funny, but I guess we just all have to accept it,” said executive producer Liz Meriwether in a statement.
“I’ve been a fan of her comedic skills since This is 40, and I’m so excited to have her on the show. We had Megan in mind when we wrote this part - she’s the perfect person to come in and shake these guys up.”
New Girl will return in January.
