As an ardent fan who has witnessed the evolution of both New Girl and Bridgerton, I find this cross-pollination of characters and storylines nothing short of magical. Zoey Deschanel, the charming Jess Day from New Girl, gracing the screens once again through her influence on Bridgerton’s Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton, is a delightful twist that has me thoroughly intrigued.


The third season of Bridgerton has been making headlines for numerous good reasons. Fans have been raving about the on-screen chemistry between Luke Newton, playing Colin Bridgton, and Nicola Coughlan as Penelope Featherington.

Among the moments from the series that had viewers buzzing was a heartfelt kiss shared by the characters. Interestingly, showrunner Jess Brownell disclosed during a recent interview that this kiss was reminiscent of the intense kiss between Nick and Jess from the sitcom New Girl.

During an interview with Entertainment Weekly while promoting Bridgerton season 3, Brownell mentioned that Nicola played a video of Nick and Jess’s first kiss from the show “New Girl.” This kiss was particularly intense and passionate.

In the most recent installment of the Netflix series, there were many heartfelt scenes that have left viewers questioning whether the strong bond between the characters will persist throughout future episodes too.

Later, actress Zooey Deschanel, famously known for portraying Jess in New Girl, commented on a pivotal scene from the show serving as a source of inspiration for the Shondaland series.

During interviews for her latest film, Harold and the Purple Crayon, Deschanel gushed about a scene featuring a kiss. The actress from 500 Days of Summer exclaimed, “Wow, I’m absolutely thrilled, that’s fantastic!” She continued by saying, “It’s astounding how it made its way into a series like Bridgerton.

Speaking about the significant kiss scene between Nick and Jess from season 2 of New Girl, the actress stated that the writers and production team carefully considered every detail because it was a crucial moment in the show, as viewers were unsure whether the main characters would ultimately end up together or not.

For seven seasons, Deschanel starred as Jess Day in the comedy series “New Girl,” which aired on the Fox Network. This delightful sitcom centered around a diverse group of characters, each navigating their personal journeys through romantic relationships and friendships.

In essence, the story revolves around Jess, who’s a school teacher. After discovering her boyfriend with someone else, she ends up sharing an apartment with three male roommates.

The episodes of New Girl are available to stream on Disney+, and the 3 seasons of Bridgerton can be binged on Netflix.
