It looks like we might have some big New Girl season 4 spoilers thanks to some news about one cast member leaving when the current 2015 episodes come to an end. Though season 5 hasn't been confirmed, it's all but certain that Fox will pick up the Liz Meriwether created, Zooey Deschanel starring series for more episodes, but you'll have to count out Damon Wayans Jr. The actor has decided to field pilot offers and leave the show at the end of the current season. Read more about this news below.

"I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to come back to New Girl in season three to reprise the role of 'Coach,'" the actor said, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "Working with this incredibly talented and funny cast and crew has been one of the best experiences of my career."

Wayans previously left the series right after filming the pilot because his other series, Happy Endings was picked up. After that series was cancelled, he returned to New Girl as Coach. So, about a year-and-a-half after returning to the Fox comedy, Wayans is set to leave once again.

Alongside New Girl costar Jake Johnson, Wayans also starred in the 2014 movie Let's Be Cops.

"We love Damon and are so lucky to have had him return for the past season-and-a-half," executive producer Liz Meriwether said. "We are working on crafting an exit for him that will leave the door open for many more returns, especially since 'Coach' is our resolution to the upcoming 'Who's Jess' Baby Daddy?' storyline." (this last part was a joke)

We're sure that Coach will get a better send off than the last time he left the series considering he just wasn't there after the pilot. How do you think he'll be written off? Let us know in the comments section below!
