According to E! Online's Tierney Bricker, Dermot Mulroney will be returning for an upcoming episode of New Girl. Here's an excerpt from the article, which gives some details on Mulroney's return:
Mulroney, who will recur on HBO's Enlightened this season, will reprise his role as Russell, Jess' (Zooey Deschanel) ex, in an episode of the Fox hit sitcom set to air in April. The episode's title? "First Date." Hmmm...
Viewers last saw Russell, who was the father of one of Jess' students, in season one's "Tomatoes" when Jess ended their relationship because she wanted more passion. So how will Russell return? All we can share is that Jess runs into her former boyfriend at a most inopportune time.
Of course, a lot has changed since Jess' split with Russell: Jess and Nick (Jake Johnson), who harbored a major man crush on the successful and sophisticated Russell, have (finally) kissed and are now dancing around the possibility of a relationship, so of course, Russell's return factors into that storyline. But we refuse to say any more than that!

My thoughts: I for one really liked Russell last season, so I'm definitely excited that Dermot Mulroney will be returning for an upcoming episode of New Girl. With the exception of Steve Howey's character in the most recent episode, I've really liked all of Jess' love interests that she's had on the show so far. I love Steve Howey as an actor, but his character was really annoying, if you ask me. That being said, I can't wait to see happens when Russell returns. Based on the title of the episode, I'm guessing that Jess and Nick will decide to finally go out on a real date and they will end up running into Russell while they are on their date. Regardless of what happens in the episode, I really am very excited about this news.
