Fans of 'Scrubs' can expect a different format when the new series begins.

Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello was told by 'Scrubs' creator Bill Lawrence that next season the story would move from the hospital to the classroom with Dr Cox (John C McGinley) and Dr Turk (Donald Faison) now teaching in medical school.

Lawrence said: "It'll be a lot like [The] 'Paper Chase' as a comedy. 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."
