US Comedy ‘Scrubs’ is about to return for its eighth series. It may return for a ninth, but according to Variety magazine, star of the show Zach Braff, certainly won’t.

Braff revealed that he would most likely return as a guest star if the show continues on into a ninth season. He also hinted that he would like to direct a few of those future episodes. Showrunner Bill Lawrence stated, “The end of the show will be about J.D. leaving the hospital. When you leave, it’s about holding on to your relationships.”

Asked how long he thought the series would continue, Lawrence joked, “You can’t kill this show. Next year we’ll be on CBS.” Most of the eighth season is already in the can, and will air sometime early next year.
