New Girl Summer on Hulu; Vir Das Gets Brand New Netflix Special

Temperatures are rising, so Hulu is staying in the loft and making it a New Girl summer! To kick off your rewatch of the beloved series, available now on Hulu, creator Elizabeth Meriwether (FX's Dying for Sex) is sharing her picks for essential summer episodes.
Summer is the season for weddings and failing to make out with people at weddings:
"Wedding" (Season 1, Episode 3)
"Elaine's Big Day" (Season 2, Episode 25)

Summer is the season for trips that go horribly wrong:

Oh yeah, and a bonus episode featuring Schmidt getting painfully sunburned:

All seven seasons of New Girl are available to stream on Hulu. New Girl is an ensemble comedy centering on a free-spirited young woman, her three male roommates and her best friend, as they navigate modern relationships and end up forming a charmingly dysfunctional - or strangely functional - family. Starring Zooey Deschanel, Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, Lamorne Morris, and Hannah Simone.
