New Girl cast member Hannah Simone details new ABC series Not Dead Yet and shares New Girl reunion news
Not Dead Yet also stars Gina Rodriguez January 16, 2023 - 10:09 GMT Rebecca Lewis Hannah Simone has praised her new TV series Not Dead Yet for showing"true female relationships" on screen. Best known to audiences from beloved comedy New Girl, Hannah stars as Sam, a newspaper life and style editor whose best friend, the broke and newly-single Nell Serrano , returns to the office after years away to write obituaries - only to discover she can see the ghosts of the people who have died.
We all went to a cast dinner before we started shooting, and people repeatedly kept asking how long we've all known each other. We got really lucky, this was an instant family.
In New Girl, we'd watch Jess and Cece get into it - and they would sometimes physically fight - but it was never over a man. Not one time did Liz Meriwether never put that into their friendship because a true sisterhood doesn't fight over men. That was the heart of this friendship, too. The top three actors on the call sheet are all women but it's not a show about being a woman. And you have two women of color on the top two places of this call sheet but it's not a show about being a person of color. Not Dead Yet is throwing out all of those things that we used to have to explain or set up to make people feel comfortable, and that's why representation in television is so important because now we've gotten to this point.
How involved were you with Sam‘s looks? Her wardrobe is one of my favorite parts. I work with Michelle Cole and we had big talks about what Sam's style would be as she is a lifestyle editor and it meant we could really play. I have friends of mine who work in that magazine world and they get sent gorgeous free clothes all the time - what an incredible perk!
That was the biggest gift of New Girl; making sure that if I took on another project to really check out who all the people were because so much of your life is with them. I like to work with really nice people and everybody on Not Dead Yet was so kind and compassionate when real life things happened.
