Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors The silliness of Sacred Heart is about to return. The "Scrubs" reboot was reported to be in development last year with Zach Braff returning as Sacred heart doctor J.D., but now Variety reports that the sitcom has been ordered straight-to-series by ABC for the 2025-2026 season. The site also reports that Braff won't be alone when it comes to former cast. Donald Faison will also be returning as Dr. Christopher Turk and Sarah Chalke will be back as Dr. Elliot Reid. Read More: 'Dexter: Resurrection' Early Reviews Are Overwhelmingly One-Sided Variety says more former castmates are expected to return for the reboot, with no mention of exactly who else might be scrubbing in. NBC/Getty Images Cast from the original series who could return include John C. McGinley who played the acerbic Dr. Cox, Neil Flynn of "The Middle" fame who played a janitor known for terrorizing J.D., and Judy Reyes as Nurse Carla. The official logline for the "Scrubs" revival reads, "JD (Braff) & Turk (Faison) scrub in together for the first time in a long time- 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." Tim Hobert and Aseem Batra, both of whom worked on the original series, will serve as executive producers and showrunners for the new show. "Scrubs" creator Bill Lawrence will executive produce along with Jeff Ingold and Liza Katzer. Braff, Chalk, and Faison are also serving as executive producers. "Scrubs" originally aired on NBC for its first seven seasons before jumping to ABC for its final two. Overall, the sitcom ran from 2001 to 2009, earning itself 2 Primetime Emmys in the process. While promoting the AppleTV+ series "Shrinking" back in 2023, Lawrence told Variety that a "Scrubs" reunion was "inevitable," though at the time he was speaking specifically of a reunion movie rather than a series. "In the greatest way, the cast of that show and the writers are so good that they're all working. And the main reason to do something like that isn't the work, it's because we actually love hanging out," Lawrence said. He continued, "I think it's inevitable that [a 'Scrubs' movie] happens. The joke of it with us is the first time that six months go by that we don't hang out, we'll end up doing a 'Scrubs' reunion."

Zach Braff Talks About How J.D. is Different in the SCRUBS Series Reboot - "It's Very, Very Hard to Be a Doctor Today" — GeekTyrant
Actor Zach Braff has had a solid career both in front of and behind the camera, but it all started with the beloved TV series Scrubs , which he's about to return to. The show is coming back, and with its original creator, Bill Lawrence, behind it, it seems like it's bound to bring back some of the original charm, however, Braff says he feels like he needs to approach his character in a whole new way. Braff and Lawrence appeared at the ATX TV Festival (via TVLine), where they talked about bringing the show back in a way that recaptures the heart of it, while acknowledging that being a doctor is much different compared to when J.D. first joined Sacred Heart when the show started 24 years ago. Braff got into it, stating: 'When Bill and I shoot the shit about it, [we ask ourselves] how do you still have the spirit of the [original] show — the humor and the heart of the show, and the fantasies and all the fun stuff that we all loved? 'The show was about a young doctor coming into this new world, so what is it like [to be] a doctor who is 50 and has been beaten down by the system? It's very, very hard to be a doctor today.' It's been 15 years since the show ended its first run, and Braff talked about playing an older version of his character, saying: 'And what is [JD's] life like now? Obviously, you can still have the bromance, and the love, and the friendship. But coming at it from the opposite angle, what is it like for a guy who has been through this system and dealing with all that stuff for so long?' When you go hard on a medical drama and really get down to the trauma and fatigue, you get a show like The Pitt , which is fantastic, but it's so tonally opposite from Scrubs. So if they're looking to be fun, but still be realistic, they'll have to find that sweet spot. The returning series is still in early stages, but we should be hearing more as it presses forward. Are you looking forward to the Scrubs reboot?
