Children's Hospital will end after Season 7 concludes, according to creator and star Rob Corddry

Corddry told Vulture that he hadn't started the current season intending to make it the final one, but the idea germinated and became final over the course of it.

"The truth is I'm just a creative person who's honest with himself," he said. "Over the last couple of months, I had a feeling larva that transformed into a thought caterpillar, and, to continue the metaphor, then became a decision butterfly."

He said part of his decision was based on being very proud of Season 7. He had considered ending the show once before after Season 5, but said that decision was based more on exhaustion and stress, and he wouldn't have wanted to end it after what he felt wasn't the strongest season.

As for how the whole show wraps up, he dropped some clues about that as well.

"I've been writing things that tried to explain what's off about this world. Like, what scientific formulas could people in our world use to describe what's wrong with the physics in the Childrens Hospital world?" he said. "This season I came up with this idea that uses both our Childrens Hospital world and our behind-the-scenes world and is really just a more plausible exploration of this whole reality. The very final moment was one of my favorite moments anyway, but now it really puts a bow on the show."

Corddry did say he's "very likely" to bring the show back in some capacity, possibly as an occasional half-hour special.

Jonathan Stern, one of Corddry's co-creators, put his feelings this way: "No TV show lasts forever, except for Law & Order: SVU, but the fun of making Childrens Hospital will stay with us for years to come. It will always live on in the Childrens Hospital of our minds … and on Pirate Bay."
