Jessica Biel will make a television comeback in a guest-starring role on Fox’s New Girl, according to reports. Justin Timberlake’s wife will play a nemesis of Zoey Deschanel’s character during an episode of Season 4.
Deschanel’s character Jess will go head-to-head with Biel’s character Kat, described as the “hottest scientist in the world,” in competition for the same guy at a wedding.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, when New Girl returns on Sept. 16, Jess and Jake Johnson’s Nick will definitely stay apart.
Creator Liz Meriweather explained this week, "I love them together and I don't think it's it for them at all.”
However, "I've never been in a good relationship … I just found that it's been easier for me to write them as single idiots out in the world trying to get laid and looking for love. I had trouble figuring out where the conflict and comedy was coming from with them last season. Admittedly, it's definitely fun to keep them apart for more."
Biel shot to fame as Mary Camden on 7th Heaven, however, she’s been focusing on her film career ever since. Fans of the show can also expect to see Damon Wayans’ character next season, as he was promoted to a series regular.
