Scrubs is coming back — but can it live up to your memories?
The Scrubs reboot is officially a go at ABC, with original stars Zach Braff, Donald Faison and Sarah Chalke each gearing up for a return to the wild corridors of Sacred Heart Hospital. This later-in-life return comes more than two decades after showrunner Bill Lawrence's show first debuted back in 2001. Throughout a gag-packed nine seasons (eight if you ditch its fumbled, core-cast-free final outing), Scrubs made us laugh and cry in not-so-equal measure. Seriously. What started as J.D,'s (Braff)'s first day as a medical intern quickly transformed into a heartfelt journey through the lives of Sacred Hart's many inhabitants. Read more: What happened to the cast of Scrubs? From staff members like J.D.'s surgeon BFF Turk (Faison) and on-off-girlfriend and fellow medic Elliot (Chalke), to the fearsome nurse Carla (Judy Reyes) and fast talking Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley), Scrubs quickly made us care about its key players. It also got us invested in their various patients, leaving fans reaching for the tissues on more than one stone-cold heartbreaking occasion (Cheers, Brendan Fraser). The result was a show that wormed its way into the hearts of viewers, a metaphor that's quite apt considering Scrubs' frequent focus on weird medical ailments. News of its return makes it the latest in an increasingly lengthy list of fan-favourites that are set to make a comeback. Read more: What we know about the Scrubs reboot as Zach Braff returns Earlier this year, Frankie Muniz spoke highly of his time reuniting with his on-screen family for Disney+'s upcoming Malcolm in the Middle reboot Life's Still Unfair. Just a few weeks into 2025, news broke that 90's vamp-killing icon Buffy will be back too. Even America's take on The Office is prepping a return, with new spin-off series The Paper set to launch in September. If you're a fan of the past, this is all undoubtedly music to your ears. However, have the intervening years made our nostalgic bonds with these shows so strong that no reboot can ever live up to the hype? Don't get us wrong, news of a Scrubs reboot is definitely reason to rejoice. That said, perhaps its biggest threat lays in the very fans that clamoured after its return. Those of us old enough to have grown up when Scrubs first aired will no doubt have fond memories of quite literally watching it to death. Whether it was catching it on endless TV repeats or hitting play on the show's colourful DVD season box-sets until the discs wore thin, Scrubs quickly became one of those shows that transcended its status as just another workplace sitcom. Instead, it became something much more valuable to its many fans. For many, its characters became friends and their familiarity may have helped some battle loneliness when they found themselves in new situations or alien environments. Throughout the late noughties, a university dorm wasn't complete without a few Scrubs DVD discs littered around an already litter-filled bedroom. Meanwhile, others may have relied on the show's goofy humour for some much-needed distraction during tricky times. While it's a hard thing to quantify, it's easy to see how J.D.'s daydreams could help someone forget about a break-up or the Janitor's (Neil Flynn) jibes could lift spirits while ill. Scrubs is the same type of therapeutic remedy that later bingeable hits like Peep Show and The Office currently hold for the generation of pop-culture fans that followed the Scrubs generation. These aren't just intangible hypotheticals either, they're something that the show's cast have heard about regularly since the show came to an end. 'People really have reached out to let us know when they were going through a hard time, and what a difference Scrubs made to them,' Chalke told The Independent back in 2021. 'We have people reaching out saying 'This is why I became a doctor' – actually saving people's lives instead of us just pretending to. It feels like such an honour.' Reyes echoed the sentiment during the same article, highlighting a period where pop-culture became everyone's saving grace: 'People can relate to it in so many different ways – particularly during the pandemic," she explained. "So many things that we touched upon completely resonate with everyone.' Just like in the show itself, this very modern issue was diagnosed neatly by Dr. Cox actor McGinley. 'If you get to be part of something that resonates, that's a big deal," he told the outley, "and Scrubs resonated.' He's not wrong. Scrubs - much like other shows of its vintage - did resonate with fans and for many, those bonds remain as strong today as they did when they were first forged. While it'll no doubt be fun to see J.D., Turk, Elliott and the rest of Sacred Heart's finest back on our screens, it'll be interesting to see if they still have the power to save us all once more.

Zach Braff to reprise his beloved Scrubs Character J.D. Dorian in upcoming Reboot
Zach Braff is getting ready! It was reported that the 50-year-old actor will return to his popular role as John "J.D." Dorian in ABC's upcoming Scrubs revival. From 2001 to 2010, Braff played J.D., the central physician in the popular medical comedy, alongside Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, Judy Reyes, and Christa Miller. Braff returned for only six episodes of the series' ninth and final season, which introduced a new cast of characters. Throughout its tenure, the actor got three Golden Globe nominations and one Emmy nomination. Braff has expressed interest in returning to Sacred Heart Hospital for a possible revival since the show's conclusion. During an appearance on the Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum podcast in August 2024, the actor shared what he misses most about his role in the show. I miss laughing every day. Every day, belly laughter was part of the work. And when that went gone, by the end of the nine years, we were all exhausted," he remarked. "We were beginning to recycle jokes. Everyone is pretty fried. We'd work outrageous hours that people don't do today. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo We didn't have much of a life away from it. So we were just sort of cooked." Though the sitcom's end in 2010 felt like the correct decision, Braff stated that he would love to reprise his part if the opportunity arose. However, he had a few conditions that would have to be met if he returned. "When we signed up to do our show, they can put you under a pretty insane contract of, like, seven years and stuff, which was... which I wouldn't do [again]," he told me. "But is this a limited thing? You're basically saying, 'Do you want go get the group back together and f------ laugh your ass off with some of your greatest buddies and be paid well?' Yeah, that sounds incredible." Bill Lawrence , the show's original creator, previously addressed Deadline about his concept for the upcoming Scrubs remake. The showrunner stated that he intended the upcoming series to have both original cast members and new actors. "We've been talking about a lot, and I think the only real reason to do it is a combo," he told me. "A: people want to see what the world of medicine was like for the individuals they care about, which is an essential component of any successful reboot. But B: I think the show has always worked because you get to watch young people being thrust into the realm of medicine, knowing that the young people who go there are incredibly idealistic and do it because it is a calling. " He went on to say, "There's no cliché about 'wealthy physicians playing golf'; that's no longer the case. So, no matter what, I believe it would be a huge error not to do a combination of those two things.

Zach Braff Returns For ABC's 'Scrubs' Reboot
Dr. John Dorian is returning to Sacred Heart Hospital once again, as actor Zach Braff has signed on for the Scrubs reboot currently in development at ABC. First reported to be in early development back in December, the Scrubs reboot will see the return of original series creator Bill Lawrence, although he will not be the showrunner this time around, instead serving as its executive producer. Braff is the first member of the show's original cast to join the reboot, reprising his role as Dorian (aka J.D.), who was both the original 2001 series' central character and narrator. The show also starred Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, Judy Reyes, John C. McGinley and Ken Jenkins as Christopher Turk, Elliot Reid, Carla Espinosa, Perry Cox and Bob Kelso, respectively. Lawrence, Braff and other members of the show's cast had expressed their interest in reuniting for years, after the show ended its nine-season run in 2010. 'We're gonna do it, you guys know,' said Lawrence during the show's reunion panel at the ATX TV Festival 2022. 'If you ever have an excuse to work with people you want to spend time with anyway, run to it.' Braff also previously spoke on his interest in returning for a Scrubs reboot in an interview with Variety, saying: 'The idea of getting back together with my friends and doing like 10 or 12 episodes of maybe one or two seasons, and just laughing with everyone? That sounds like a dream.' No release window or other plot details of ABC's Scrubs reboot have been revealed as of yet. The original series premiered in 2001 on NBC, airing for seven seasons before its cancellation, with the show then renewed by ABC for two additional seasons, with its ninth season serving as a spin-off titled Scrubs: Med School . Kevin is a reformed PC Master Race gamer with a penchant for franchise 'duds' like Darksiders III and Dead Space 3 . He has made it his life-long mission to play every single major game release – lest his wallet dies trying. ABC Scrubs Scrubs Reboot Zach Braff
