Hannah Simone went on a long and winding journey as Cece in the Fox hit sitcom New Girl. She built a committed fanbase while on the show, and we found ourselves wondering what she's been up to since the series finale. No surprise, Hannah's kept pretty busy.  

Cece From New Girl Now

Like Cece, Hannah is a style obsessive. In fact, her mother was a fashion designer, so it’s fitting that, post-New Girl, Hannah entered into a fashion partnership with T.J. Maxx. 

In 2018, Hannah almost starred in a reboot of the '80s superhero show The Greatest American Hero on ABC, but the network never picked up the series. Show biz is fickle, isn’t it? Fortunately, ABC ordered another pilot from Hannah, according to Deadline. This one is a semi-autobiographical comedy based in-part on the actress’ own upbringing. As if that weren’t enough, she’s also been tapped to star in a new comedy pilot on CBS, which she’ll co-produce. One way or another, you’ll be seeing more of Hannah soon. 

As for her family life, the actress married musician Jesse Giddings in 2016, and the couple welcomed a son in 2017. If you’re looking for some musical entertainment, the pair have a lot of Dubsmash videos to offer you on Instagram.

Of course, Hannah has hardly forgotten her New Girl days. Speaking with Fashionista last year, she summed up her feelings about being on the show. “It's funny, we all started that show never having met. Which is also the premise of the show, that none of them have met except for Cece and Jess,” she explained. “We all grew and fell in love with each other on and off camera.” In other words, it seems like Hannah misses New Girl as much as any devoted fan.
