Zooey recently gave birth to her first child, a daughter, with husband Jacob Pechenik.
In a press release, the network explained that 29-year-old Megan will join the comedy series as “Raegan, a gorgeous, straight-shooting pharmaceutical sales rep who comes to town on business and shakes things up in the loft when she rents out Jess' (Zooey Deschanel’s) room while she is sequestered on jury duty” in its upcoming fifth season.
“It’s insane to me that such a gorgeous person can be so funny, but I guess we just all have to accept it,” executive producer Liz Meriwether jokingly added. “I’ve been a fan of her comedic skills since This Is 40, and I’m so excited to have her on the show. We had Megan in mind when we wrote this part – she’s the perfect person to come in and shake these guys up.”
So what do you reckon – will Megan make up for Zooey not being on the show? We’re not so sure…
