Ryan O'Rourke is a Senior News Writer at Collider with a specific interest in all things adult animation, video game adaptations, and the work of Mike Flanagan. He is also an experienced baseball writer with over six years of articles between multiple outlets, most notably FanSided's CubbiesCrib. Whether it's taking in a baseball game, a new season of Futurama or Castlevania: Nocturne, or playing the latest From Software title, he is always finding ways to show his fandom. When it comes to gaming and anything that takes inspiration from it, he is deeply opinionated on what's going on. Outside of entertainment, he's a graduate of Eureka College with a Bachelor's in Communication where he honed his craft as a writer. Between The IV Leader at Illinois Valley Community College and The Pegasus at Eureka, he spent the majority of his college career publishing articles on everything from politics to campus happenings and, of course, entertainment for the student body. Those principles he learned covering the 2020 election, Palestine, and so much more are brought here to Collider, where he has gleefully written on everything from the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes to Nathan Lane baby-birding sewer boys.

Reboots and revivals happen all the time in the modern era of television, but some of the most successful in recent memory have been in the sitcom realm. Earlier this year, Hulu and Disney+ revisited Malcolm in the Middle, with an older Frankie Muniz and most of the original cast on board for the chaos, in the four-episode miniseries Life's Still Unfair to the tune of rave reviews and a massive audience. The recent second season of the wildly successful King of the Hill revival, too, has continued to recapture the magic by picking up with the Hill family and their neighbors on Rainey Street in modern-day Arlen, Texas. Yet, one series viewers have been clamoring for more of and has been rumored for years isn't even a decade removed from being on screens — New Girl.
Now, the much-hoped-for reunion may be happening after all. Just about all the main cast members have been asked of late about the prospect of reviving the beloved Fox sitcom eight years after its ending. However, in a recent appearance on Today with Jenna & Sheinelle, Max Greenfield offered the most concrete and promising update yet on the prospect of the former roommates returning to Los Angeles together. When asked why more episodes aren't happening yet, he confirmed that, "As far as I know, it’s happening." Better yet, there's been real progress towards bringing the Elizabeth Meriwether-created series back in some form, as he added, "I’ve seen scripts, they’re amazing."
