Judy Reyes (Carla)Was Interviewed and confirmed theres going to be season 8 for sure
Last year NBC announced the seventh season, which was then in production, would be the last. But recent reports confirm the series will see an eighth season and move to rival network ABC.
Depending on how the show fares on the new channel, and how much promotion and support the new network is willing to give it, the switch could see Scrubs continue well into the future.
"In this business, we're well aware that it's a one season at a time deal," says Reyes of the future of the show. "I think I see it as just one more season."
While the writers' strike has been causing headaches for programmers everywhere, it was thanks to the strike that fans will get an extra season of Scrubs.
"We were winding down and committed to doing our final season. We were ready to end it," says Reyes.
"It was like senior year in high school. You don't want to not see your best friends but you are so ready to go to college. But then we got cut short by this weird but necessary strike that went on longer than it needed to."
Though Reyes believes the strike was "botched and exploited and taken advantage of" by both the studio and the writers' guild, supporting the writers was important to the actress, who joined the picket line along with her fellow cast-members.
"It's naive to think that without the writers you would exist at the end of the day. You have to support the people who put the words in your mouth."
By the time the strike was settled, ABC had agreed to pick the series up for another season and cast and crew got back into the swing of things.
Reyes isn't quite sure what is happening with the negotiations or where things stand, as she and the cast try to steer clear of the business side of things.
"They try to keep us out of that process as much as possible until it's done. Only because it's inevitable that it's going to affect the vibe on set.
"It's only when it starts to affect us directly that we're going to be involved."
Until then, it's business as usual on set. Which generally entails the cast mocking each other ruthlessly and trying to spoil each other's scenes.
"If Donald and Zach are giving each other the same old crap they've been giving each other and cracking us up into ruining takes, that's the reason to do it each day."
