‘Scrubs' seems to be coming back – with its original stars
ABC, the network that aired the show's final two seasons, has ordered another season of the show to be broadcast in 2025-2026, outlets including The Hollywood Reporter and Variety reported on Thursday.
Over on Instagram, the show's leading trio – Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke and Donald Faison – all posted about the show's revival, seemingly confirming their involvement.
Braff – who played daydream-prone protagonist J.D. Dorian – posted his own rendition of the 'Scrubs' theme song, tweaking the lyrics to: 'I can't do this all on my own. I need Sarah Chalke and Donald Faison.'
Faison and Chalke both posted throwback photos of the trio with the caption 'Hello again,' and 'YAY!!!!,' respectively.
CNN has contacted ABC for comment.
'Scrubs' ran for nine seasons between 2001-2010 and told the story of Dorian, a young doctor working at the fictional Sacred Heart Hospital.
His best friend from college, Christopher Duncan Turk, played by Faison, and his on-off love interest Elliot Reid, portrayed by Chalke, are fellow doctors at the hospital.
In the revival, 'JD and Turk scrub together for the first time in a long time,' according to a synopsis released by The Hollywood Reporter and Variety.
'Medicine has changed, interns have changed, but their bromance has stood the test of time. Characters new and old navigate the waters of Sacred Heart with laughter, heart and some surprises along the way.'
The show's creator, Bill Lawrence, who later went on to co-create 'Ted Lasso' and 'Shrinking,' has been teasing the idea of a reboot for years.
'We're definitely going to do it, just because we've all been enjoying hanging out,' he told LadBible in August last year.
'I think we'll figure it out in the next six months or so what we want to do,' he added.
In a statement released via Variety on Thursday, Lawrence said: ''Scrubs' means so very much to me. So excited for the chance to get the band back together.'

Carrie Underwood Unveils Natural Hair Color for First Time in 30 Years
Originally appeared on E! Online Carrie Underwood is going back to her roots—literally. The American Idol judge traded in her signature golden locks for a brownish blonde 'do on Aug. 4, revealing that this was the first time in 30 years she had rocked the hair color. "Well, the last time I saw my natural hair color, I was probably about 12 years old," Carrie wrote on Instagram alongside pictures of her newly tinted tresses, "but I thought it might be time to give it a second chance." Thanking Nashville-based colorist for "helping me get back to my roots," the 42-year-old added in her caption, "#NewOldMe." Indeed, Carrie has waited quite some time to play with her look. As she put it Refinery 29 in 2012, "I'd love to do a little more with hair color. I've always been blonde! The problem is, I don't want to shock people––like if I dyed my hair brown, I don't want people to think I'm turning dark and serious." More from E! Online Jamie Lee Curtis Has Strong Reaction to Critics of Pamela Anderson & Liam Neeson's Rumored Romance Jack Osbourne Shared Update on Relationship With Sister Aimee Weeks Before Ozzy's Death Grease Star Didi Conn Makes Rare Public Outing at 74 "I wish I had started changing my hair around in the beginning," she added, "then it wouldn't be such a big shock if I did something like that now." In fact, the "Before He Cheats" singer has sometimes felt that she was locked into a specific look. "I feel like there were a lot of interesting hair things that happened to me when I was on Idol," Carrie—who first appeared on the singing competition in 2005—told Redbook in 2013. "That was my first time having anybody fix my hair." She continued, "I had a lot of big hair. And I like big hair, but I wouldn't go back there again." And a lot of that has to do with being a mom to sons Isaiah, 10, and Jacob, 6, with husband . "Cutting my hair was a 'mom' move," she explained to Elle in 2016 after removing her hair extensions. "I could spend half an hour to blow it dry and have it be super long, or I could spend that time playing with my son, and I'd much rather do the latter."
