Spencer broke the news on Twitter while surfing in Newport Beach, Calif. “I’m coming back for season 8 with a tan and a busted board,” he jokingly tweets.
The actor has played the role of Dr. Robert Chase for all seven seasons. And with the speculation that the eighth season may be the show’s last (not to mention the fact that Lisa Edelstein, who played Dr. Lisa Cuddy, announced she won’t be returning), the news gives some fans a good reason to return for the next season premiering on Monday, October 3. Well, it seems like the majority of fans felt that way.
