ABC Orders Ninth Season Of SCRUBS And Closes New Deals With Returning Stars Braff, Chalke, Faison, McGinley, Flynn!!

I am – Hercules!!




It looks like "Scrubs" may have more lives than "According To Jim" after all!

The busy James Hibberd over at the Hollywood Reporter relays that a ninth season of the medical sitcom has been ordered, with Zach Braff and Sarah Chalke coming back for six episodes. Co-stars Donald Faison, John C. McGinley and Neil Flynn have also closed deals to return (contingent, one assumes, on their pilots not being picked up in the coming week).

No word yet on how many episodes have been ordered, nor if the sitcom will morph into a studio-audience show (as rumored).

ABC announces its 2009-2010 plans Tuesday.

Find all of Hibberd’s story on the matter here.
