Where to watch New Girl

By

After finding out about her boyfriend’s infidelity, Jess (500 Days of Summer’s Zooey Deschanel) moves out of her apartment and begins her search for a new home. Through Craigslist, she responds to an ad for a loft apartment in Los Angeles. However, Jess discovers that the apartment belongs to three men: Nick Miller (Minx’s Jake Johnson), Schmidt (The Neighborhood’s Max Greenfield), and Coach (Happy Together’s Damon Wayans Jr.). Jess moves in and eventually bonds with her roommates as they navigate love, friendship, and life. Along the way, Winston (Woke’s Lamorne Morris) replaces Coach in the apartment, and Jess’s best friend, Cece (Not Dead Yet’s Hannah Simone), gets added to the mix to form an eclectic family.

New Girl became an instant hit on Fox, but grew an even bigger audience once it became available on streaming. The show might be over, but fans can relive their favorite moments by streaming it. Find out where to watch New Girl below.

Unlike most shows that only stream to one service, New Girl can be seen on two services: Peacock and Hulu.

Peacock is gaining in popularity with each passing month thanks to classic NBC shows like Parks and Recreation, This Is Us, and Law & Order. Peacock’s original library also continues to expand with critically acclaimed programs, including Poker Face, Mrs. Davis, and Sick. Sports fans can also enjoy the action from the WWE, NFL, and Premier League games on Peacock.

Hulu has over 1,200 movies and 1,300 TV shows in its diverse library. Now majority-owned by Disney, Hulu features shows the day after they air on ABC, including Abbott Elementary, Grey’s Anatomy, and The Rookie. And Hulu originals like The Handmaid’s Tale, Dopesick, and The Dropout have garnered multiple Emmys. There is also a live television option, Hulu with Live TV, where users can access over 85 channels without a cable subscription.

When is it streaming for subscribers?

As of April 25, New Girl is available to stream on both services.

How much does it cost?

Peacock has two subscription options. The Premium plan is priced at a manageable $5 a month, but subscribers can save money by paying $50 annually. This tier offers 80,000-plus hours of entertainment with ads, but allows users to access new films and live events. The second tier, Premium Plus, costs $10 a month. Like Premium, subscribers of Premium Plus can save money by paying $100 annually. Premium Plus includes everything from Premium, but contains no ads. It also allows users to download and watch programs offline.

Unfortunately, there is no longer a free tier for new subscribers. Those signing up for Peacock will only have the option to sign up for a paid tier. Subscribers who signed up for the free tier of Peacock can continue accessing the service. It is unknown if or when the free tier will be removed from Peacock.

Similar to Peacock, Hulu has two subscription options: with or without ads. The ad-supported plan costs $8 per month or $80 per year, while the ad-free option costs $15 monthly. However, Hulu with Live TV may be more advantageous for those looking to bundle multiple streaming services together for one price. For $70 per month, subscribers will receive Hulu (with ads) + Live TV, Disney+ (with ads), and ESPN+ (with ads). For $83 per month, users receive Hulu (no ads) + Live TV, Disney+ (no ads), and ESPN+ (with ads).

Is New Girl worth watching?

New Girl is a feel-good sitcom that is equal parts charming and entertaining. The ensemble comedy works because of the chemistry between Deschanel, Johnson, Greenfield, and Morris. New Girl is very relatable for those people in their 20s and 30s who are trying to navigate the stress and joys of love, work, and relationships.

The series was created by Elizabeth Meriwether (No Strings Attached), who also developed Single Parents, Bless This Mess, and The Dropout. On Rotten Tomatoes, New Girl is certified fresh on the Tomatometer with 95% and holds an 84% audience score.

3 underrated shows on Peacock you need to watch in May 2024
The cast of Departure.

There are more sporting events and news programs on Peacock than anything else, but it's far from devoid of great TV series. Peacock gets every new show from NBC without exception. However, the series from other countries -- and even a few Peacock originals -- sometimes seem to just disappear if you don't know what you're looking for.

This is why we're throwing the spotlight on three underrated shows on Peacock that you need to watch in May. Two of our three picks are Peacock originals, while the other is an obscure British TV series that probably would have been forgotten if The Office (the original UK version) and Sherlock star Martin Freeman didn't have a leading role in it. Now, all three are simply waiting for a wider audience to discover them.

Where to watch all Doctor Who seasons right now
Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor in the opening credits of classic Doctor Who

Doctor Who is one of the most prolific television franchises of all time, with its core series boasting nearly 900 episodes in total. There’s a tremendous archive of stories for fans to dig into, but outside of the UK, where they are consolidated on the BBC iPlayer, those stories are split across multiple streaming platforms. If you’re a completionist, watching everything may require some bouncing around, but we’ve done most of the homework for you.
Here’s how American viewers can explore the entire Whoniverse from their couch.

Most of classic Doctor Who is on Tubi
The majority of the original run of Doctor Who, which aired from 1963 to 1989 and featured the first seven incarnations of the beloved Time Lord, is available to stream for free outside of the UK on Tubi. Tubi began streaming classic Who in 2023 in commemoration of the show’s 60th birthday, offering episodes on-demand, as well as hosting a channel that streams the show 24 hours a day.
Tubi’s library even includes a number of animated episodes created by the BBC over the past few decades to replace chapters that have seen the original footage go missing. A sizable chunk of the 1960s run was lost shortly after broadcast due to BBC’s then-commonplace practice of erasing and reusing tapes of old programs that they imagined no one would miss. Some episodes are still missing, but thanks to decades of work by archivists, animators, and fans, nearly the entire missing portion of Patrick Troughton’s tenure as the Second Doctor can be seen once again, albeit in a different form than its producers had imagined.
However, there are some curious gaps in Tubi’s archive that can be filled on a different streaming service…
