PASADENA, Calif. — The final season of Fox TV’s “New Girl” will debut April 10, picking up the characters’ lives a few years after they were last seen.

After the sixth season of “New Girl” aired last year, it looked as if the show starring Zooey Deschanel had come to an end. But creator and producer Elizabeth Meriwether enlisted the cast to lobby Fox for one more season, and they were rewarded with eight episodes.

Picking up three years after the events of last season, “New Girl” finds some characters settled into adulthood.

Hannah Simone, who plays Cece, said “a pretty main character” dies, but she didn’t elaborate in a Q&A session with TV critics Thursday.

With the additional episodes, the coming-of-age story about young adults has the chance to finish their story for viewers, said “New Girl” producer Brett Baer. (AP)
