‘Scrubs' reboot with original stars airing on ABC this year
A reboot of the NBC-turned-ABC sitcom has gotten a straight-to-series order at the latter, where it will air for the 2025 to 2026 season, Variety reports.
In addition to Zach Braff, whose planned return as J.D. was reported in late May, original stars Donald Faison and Sarah Chalke will also be back. They starred in the original Emmy winner as Turk and Elliot, respectively.
'After years apart, best friends J.D. and Turk reunite at Sacred Heart hospital, where they face modern medical challenges alongside fresh faces while keeping their legendary friendship alive,' reads the logline on the untitled series' IMDb page.
'Scrubs' creator Bill Lawrence also created the reboot, which he will co-executive produce.
''Scrubs' means so very much to me,' Lawrence told Variety. 'So excited for the chance to get the band back together.'
Variety reported in December that the new iteration was in early development at Disney-owned ABC.
'Scrubs' debuted in 2001 on NBC, where it aired for seven seasons before moving to ABC for its final two.

‘Selling Sunset' Season 9 has a newcomer — Sofia Vergara's sister
'Selling Sunset' just got more interesting. Sofia Vergara's little sister, Sandra Vergara, 36, has joined the Season 9 cast of 'Selling Sunset,' Variety reported on Monday, July 14. Sandra will be one of the fresh faces featured in the Oppenheim Group's Los Angeles-based real estate show when it returns to Netflix following a drama-filled Season 8. 10 Sofia Vergara's little sister, Sandra, has joined the 'Selling Sunset' Season 9 cast. sandravergara/Instagram The 53-year-old Emmy nominee's baby sister is set to star alongside returning cast members Chrishell Stause, Emma Hernan, Chelsea Lazkani, Bre Tiesi, Mary Bonnet, Amanza Smith, Alanna Gold, Romain Bonnet, Nicole Young, and CEO twin brothers Jason Oppenheim and Brett Oppenheim. Sandra's no stranger to the limelight, though. While Sofia's look-alike younger sibling has a career in selling luxury real estate, she started as an entertainment journalist and was a host on E! with RuPaul and worked as a correspondent for People. This also won't be her first time on the silver screen. The 'Modern Family' alum's sister has also been featured in episodes of 'Nip/Tuck,' 'CSI,' and 'The Bold and the Beautiful.' 10 The 36-year-old real estate agent has appeared in several TV shows. Alex Berliner/BEI/Shutterstock 10 'Beyond grateful and honored to be part of this wild, wonderful experience!' Sandra wrote of her 'Selling Sunset' debut. sandravergara/Instagram 10 Sofia's younger sibling is an expert in high-end real estate. sandravergara/Instagram New people, of course, come with fresh drama. 'Selling Sunset' Season 9 promises to follow the Oppenheim Group family as they battle to sell multimillion-dollar properties to the wealthy, with the synopsis given to Variety reading, 'where new faces will bring new feuds into the Los Angeles real estate market. As the pressure turns up in their personal and professional lives, some might not have what it takes to keep their seat at the brokerage. As the landscape in Los Angeles quickly changes, everyone will have to adapt to a new reality.' But Sandra isn't the only newcomer to the O Group, as cast members have also been added a little further down south. 10 All eyes will be on the younger Vergara sibling but she's not the only new addition. sandravergara/Instagram 10 The O Group's Orange County show, 'Selling the OC,' will also feature some fresh faces. sandravergara/Instagram 'Selling the OC' has gained three newbies to the Season 4 cast, including Kaylee Riccardi, Fiona Belle and Ashtyn Zerboni, per the outlet. They will join returning cast members Jason Oppenheim, Alex Hall, Polly Brindle, Tyler Stanaland, Gio Helou, Austin Victoria and Brandi Marshall. 'Selling the OC' will feature the company's Orange County agents 'who are ready to establish their office as the top brokerage within the Oppenheim Group. As the competition heats up for some high-stakes listings, some may get burned as devastating rumors divide the team.' 10 There will be 3 new cast members in the upcoming 'Selling the OC' season. ©Netflix/Courtesy Everett Collection Ricciardi is a veteran in the industry, with 13 years in selling luxury real estate under his belt. He got his start managing high-priced short-term rentals during Coachella, which progressed into event-based rentals with affluent clientele. Zerboni is a former model and actress-turned-real estate agent, who has worked with the Oppenheim Group in La Jolla and Orange County. Belle is considered the greenest addition to 'Selling the OC.' 10 However, both shows weren't without drama last season. ©Netflix/Courtesy Everett Collection At 23, the Orange County native just joined the company in 2024. She has 'proud Italian roots' and is 'a first-generation college graduate.' Both shows haven't been short on drama, with Bre Tiesi at the center of most conflicts on 'Selling Sunset' last season. The reality star — who was married to ex-NFL star Johnny Manziel from 2018 to 2021 and shares son, Legendary, 3, with Nick Cannon — was tasked with the dilemma of telling her castmate Chelsea Lazkani that her husband was 'making out' with another woman and even helped her former athlete ex find a home. 10 Sofia's sister has also been a correspondent and host of E! sandravergara/Instagram 10 The Colombian beauty's famous sister has yet to comment on her reality debut. sandravergara/Instagram During Manziel's cameo, he recalled the emotional toll his split from Tiesi took on him. He admitted to begging, crying and pleading with her to reconsider their divorce following rumors he had cheated during their relationship. Tiesi's co-star Mary Bonnet also aired out dirty laundry, but took a shot at producers when she accused them of orchestrating her pregnancy reveal scene. While Sandra shared a post about her 'Selling Sunset' debut saying she was 'beyond grateful' for the 'wild' experience, her famous older sister has yet to comment on her reality TV sibling. The Post reached out to Sofia's rep for comment. A release date for both 'Selling Sunset' and 'Selling the OC' will be announced at a later date.
