Good news Scrubs fans – all signs are pointing towards the possibility of a reboot, and the creator says it’s only a matter of time before it’s set in stone.

Creator Bill Lawrence was candid in an exclusive interview with LADbible, where he stated that not only is a Scrubs reboot a real possibility, but that they are ‘definitely going to do it’.

The medical show has not been on the air since 2010, though the final season of the show was critically panned.

In season nine, they introduced a new cast of characters at Sacred Heart hospital following the departure of lead Zach Braff.

Braff and co-star Donald Faison run a re-watch podcast called Fake Doctors, Real Fiends, and have spoken in the past about the prospect of a reboot.

Faison told NBC Insider earlier this year: “We’re on our way to doing it.

“It’s gonna happen. I don’t know when, but within the next five years.”

In an exclusive interview with LADbible about his new show Bad Monkey, Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence responded positively about the possibility of a continuation.

He said: “Yeah, you know, I'm really candid about it. We're definitely going to do it, just because we've all been enjoying hanging out.

“Look, there's no huge drive because everybody's successful, and I think the show was on for like, 72 years, but the on the other hand, medical people over here right now are very heroic to me.

“It's been a tough road, and no one's becoming a doctor right now to get rich here in America, and we've all been hanging out and talking."

Lawrence went on to say: “So I'm open to it. I'm open to it, and I don't want to do it as a movie, but I'm definitely open to doing a couple more years of that show.

“It would not only be fun to see where the characters I used to love are now, but also to see what a young doctor nowadays looks like, as far as the kids coming in behind them, you know.

“So we've been talking a lot about it, and I think we'll figure it out in the next six months or so what we want to do. I'm just busy too, man, in a great way.”

The conversation happened whilst Lawrence was promoting Bad Monkey, a new Apple TV+ show from the Shrinking and Ted Lasso writer.

The synopsis for the show reads: “A detective turned restaurant inspector in Southern Florida is pulled into a world of greed and corruption after a tourist finds a severed arm while fishing.”
