There has been a speculation that the eight season will be the last for the show since Zach Braff who plays J.D. and creator Bill Lawrence are going to make their exit after this season ends. Regarding this, Lawrence told EW, "The reality is, Scrubs is incredibly reasonably priced. And without Zach's salary and my salary, it's probably cheaper to make then some new shows." He added, "I think if this show comes on and by February it's doing a 3 rating [in the 18-49 demo], it'll be on for another year. And if it's not, it won't. And if it's in the middle somewhere, they will wait and decide along with all their new pilots."
