The revival was first reported to be in early development in December, with original series creator Bill Lawrence serving as executive producer. Lawrence, Braff and other Scrubs alumni had discussed the idea of a reboot for years, but negotiations between Disney and Warner Bros TV - where Lawrence has a contract – stalled. Lawrence remains under his deal at WBTV, where he produces Shrinking, Ted Lasso and Bad Monkey. Scrubs premiered in 2001 and aired for seven seasons. It was then renewed for an eighth season, which was intended to end the series.
