Scrubs Moves From Hospital to Classroom

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, ABC, Scrubs, Renewals

Last year, Scrubs was facing change on a new network. This winter, the series will get new backdrop.

For the comedy’s ninth season, the program will freshen up with an entirely new focus. The day-to-day operations within Sacred Heart will be (mostly) replaced with classrooms and teachers. That’s right, Scrubs is going back to medical school.

“It’ll be a lot like Paper Chase as a comedy,” creator Bill Lawrence told Entertainment Weekly. “It’s going to be a different show. It’ll still be life-and-death stakes, but if the show is just Scrubs again in the hospital with a different person’s voiceover, it would be a disaster and people would be mad.”

Although there were will be a list of new cast members, two vets will anchor the show. John C. McGinley and Donald Faison will both appear as med school professors. Meanwhile, other favorites - including Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Judy Reyes and Ken Jenkins - are slated to make guest appearances. The hospital will also be seen from time to time.

No premiere date has yet been announced for the midseason show.

When Scrubs returns for its eighth season, viewers will have to get used to more than just a channel change. They’ll also be seeing a new person sitting in the Chief of Medicine’s chair this fall.

In a three-episode stint, Courteney Cox Arquette will assume Kelso’s role and roam the halls of Sacred Grace Heart. Thanks to FX’s cancellation of her series, the actress now has a new place to combine the bitchy persona she tried on Dirt with the comedic talent she honed on Friends.

According to an EW source, Arquette’s character will “ruffle feathers.” So shall we thank ABC now for giving us the opportunity to witness Perry’s pain?
