This year New Girl is starting the season off right with two new episodes back-to-back. See the episode synopses here.

Although New Girl will be off to a great start, Jess won’t be! At the start of the season Jess will be laid off from her teaching position, finding herself lost about where to go next. Fans will get to see her try being a cocktail waitress for Schmidt’s party. We’ll also get to meet Cece’s new boyfriend Robby.

Jess’ life doesn’t get any less weird by the second episode where she will pretend to be someone else in order to snag a hot date. Nick will also get a taste of the weird when a stranger claims to be himself from the future. Meanwhile, Winston deals with his family visiting, and they aren’t too happy with his career.

2×01 “Re-launch” airs Sept. 25 on Fox at 8 p.m.

Schmidt throws himself a “rebranding” party at which Jess, recently fired from her teaching job, volunteers to be a “shot girl,” alongside a very jaded cocktail waitress (guest star Parker Posey). Meanwhile, Winston shows a different side of his personality after drinking some of Nick’s fruity concoctions, and Cece introduces the gang to her new boyfriend (guest star Nelson Franklin) on the “Re-launch” episode of NEW GIRL airing Tuesday, Sept. 25 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Guest Cast: Parker Posey as Casey; Rachael Harris as Tanya; Nelson Franklin as Robby

2×02 “Katie” airs Sept. 25 on Fox at 9 p.m.

Mistaken identity abounds as Jess inadvertently captures the attention of a beer delivery guy (guest star Josh Gad) and then pretends to be someone else when a handsome stranger (guest star David Walton) thinks she is his blind date. Then, a regular at Nick’s bar (guest star Raymond J. Barry) claims to be Nick from the future, and Winston’s disapproving mother (guest star Anna Maria Horsford) comes to visit, all the while maintaining her hatred of Schmidt on the all-new “Katie” episode of NEW GIRL airing Tuesday, Sept. 25 (9:00-9:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Guest Cast: David Walton as Sam; Josh Gad as Bearclaw; Raymond J. Barry as Older Nick; Anna Maria Horsford as Charmaine; Keenyah Hill as Alisha; Josh Braaten as Andy
