“We’ve really started to entertain the idea about getting the band back together because we all feel like we do have some stories to tell" Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence has said the show could come back in “six months to a year” because the cast feel they have “stories to tell”. The screenwriter and director highlighted in a recent interview that the COVID-19 pandemic shone a light on the importance of people in the medical profession, meaning the hospital sitcom could have a fresh new relevance in the 2020s. “We’ve been talking about it,” he told The Independent .

“We all spend time with each other in real life, but everybody is so talented from that show that they’re all working. “We’ve really started to entertain the idea about getting the band back together because we all feel like we do have some stories to tell. People in the medical community are heroes right now.

They certainly aren’t doing it for the money! It’s been a crazy rough time, so I would not be surprised if we figure something out in the next six months to a year.” However, he played down the idea of the reunion taking the form of a movie. “I’m not going to do a movie.

That sounds like a lot of work!” The cast of ‘Scrubs’ CREDIT: Channel 4 Scrubs originally aired from 2001 to 2010. Lawrence has just reunited with former Scrubs star Zach Braff for his new Apple+ crime comedy Bad Monkey. Braff plays a doctor in both shows, but in the new show, he is a disgraced doctor .
