Bill Lawrence Addresses Fan Concerns About ‘Scrubs’ Reboot: “We Could Blow It”

deadline.com:

Nearly 15 years after the finale, Bill Lawrence understands fans’ reluctance to celebrate the news of a Scrubs reboot. After Deadline reported that the project is in development at ABC with 20th Television, the medical sitcom’s creator and executive producer responded to concerned fans of the show, which originally ran for nine seasons from 2001 to 2010.

One fan said he “hope[s] this does not happen,” asking Lawrence on X if he’s returning for the reboot. Although he’s developing the followup, he will not return as showrunner. “Yeah, I will help,” wrote Lawrence in response. “Why would you hope it doesn’t happen?

Not a ton of people are working out here. The cast/crew all love each other. And if it’s great you’ll be psyched. If it’s not you won’t watch.

Get on board! lol.” The fan explained that the finale was so “incredible,” he hopes Lawrence and the writers can “recapture that magic,” or else it will “feel forced.”Guess the easy reboot sum up: I get some folks reservations the same way I get others’ excitement.
