According to TVLine's Michael Ausiello, Damon Wayans Jr. has finalized a new deal with New Girl to continue appearing on the show for the remainder of season 3. Wayans initially signed a four-episode deal with the show. Here's an excerpt from the article:
Technically speaking, Wayans will continue to receive the Heather Locklear treatment and be billed as a “special guest star.”
As previously reported, the Happy Endings alum is currently developing a new comedy project with Fox to be directed by Modern Family co-executive producer Jason Winer and written by Reed Agnew and Eli Jorne, the showrunners from FX’s canine comedy Wilfred. Titled Man/Child, the potential series is about a pair of single dads who become roommates and struggle to find the balance between being responsible parents and debaucherous bachelors.

My thoughts: I'm definitely very excited about the fact that Damon Wayans Jr. will be sticking with New Girl for the rest of season 3, because I loved him on Happy Endings. It's really nice to see that Wayans and the rest of the cast of Happy Endings are finding decent acting jobs since the show's cancellation. I'll admit that Coach was probably my least favorite character in the pilot, mainly because I thought that the character was too whacky and over-the-top compared to the rest of the characters on the show. However, I personally am glad that the writers mellowed Coach out a little bit in terms of how they wrote the character in the episode "Coach". It definitely made Coach a lot more likable in my opinion. That being said, it's definitely great to have Damon Wayans Jr. on the show again, and I can't wait to see what kind of storylines that the writers are planning for Coach now that he'll be sticking around for the rest of the season.
