Bill Lawrence will return with “Bill Lawrence and Friends,” a marquee conversation with the executive producer and collaborators from his past and current projects, from “Spin City,” “Scrubs,” and “Ted Lasso” to “Shrinking,” “Bad Monkey” and “Rooster.” He will then be awarded with the 2026 Showrunner Award, which recognizes a showrunner/creator who has made a major influence on TV and fostered an environment of collaboration and mentorship.
