Beloved sitcom Scrubs is getting a reboot, confirmed by its original creator, Bill Lawrence. In an interview, Lawrence addressed fan concerns, assuring them that the reboot will not be a mere cash grab and will feature both original and new writers.
Some shows, like wine, simply get better with age. Twenty years since its first episode premiered, the Bill Lawrence -created sitcom, Scrubs , can still pride itself as being an enjoyable watch. The series' finale aired nearly a decade and a half ago, and in an era of reboots, there have been hopes for one. As will certainly impress many fans, a Scrubs reboot is officially in the works, with its original creator attached.
In the years that followed Scrubs' end, Lawrence has developed other noteworthy shows like Ted Lasso, Shrinking, and Bad Monkey, all for Apple TV+. Now, Lawrence has made a pledge to fans looking forward to the reboot's premiere.

No, that would be disingenuous to the story.' Now, speaking on what fans might expect from the reboot, Lawrence added, the series is “not going to be a mailed-in cash grab. There will be a bunch of the original Scrubs writers on the show; there will also be a bunch of new writers.” Why Wouldn't You Want a Reboot? Close Lawrence will begin writing the reboot sometime in the new year, and a deal with a showrunner “is being made as we speak, but as soon as that’s done, we’ll start.” The series creator goes on to add that he is aware that there are certain quarters of the Scrubs fanbase who are not entirely thrilled about the reboot. However, Lawrence does not share their skepticism anymore. He adds: “I don’t think that’s true. Shows that I care about have had reboots. This is my attitude: If it’s a show I love, I’m gonna watch i
