The comedy series New Girl is about to have a new girl for its fifth season and it is none other than Megan Fox. She will be filling in for the maternity absence of Zooey Deschanel. Fox as reported by The Inquisitr will play the role of a pharmaceutical representative, who is going to be living at Jessica's room.
This is not the first time that Megan Fox will do some comedy on TV, but even with her previous experience in this business, she will surely not escape criticism from so many people, especially from the show's long time fans.
Her track record includes, as per Inquisitr's record, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (with Lindsay Lohan), an appearance on Two and a Half Men, What I Like About You and even the animate comedy film, Robot Chicken.
Despite her critically acclaimed work from various TV and movie stints doing comedy, fans of New Girl are not pleased that they even took to Twitter their disappointment about her recent casting. They all wanted to boycott the show saying they'd rather just find a new series to watch than have Fox in the show .
Being in Hollywood, Fox doesn't seem to be affected by those comments and is even confident enough that she will do a great job. This is the latest TV project that Fox has since being on Hope and Faith, which was about 10 years ago. Max Greenfield who is on the series showed so much support for the actress and is excited working with her.
Deschannel also endorsed Fox on her Twitter account, so this is among the things why Fox is confident about this gig. According to Deadline, New Girl's showrunner, Elizabeth Meriwether also supported Megan Fox getting on the show saying, "we had Megan in mind when we wrote this part."
