SCRUBS Reboot Series Is A Go, Zach Braff, Donald Faison and Sarah Chalke Return

ABC has ordered the new era of Scrubs to series for the 2025-2026 TV season. (News we first heard at Deadline.) Braff, Donald Faison, and Chalke will reprise their original roles as Doctors John Dorian, Christopher Turk, and Elliot Reid. All three will also serve as executive producers of the Scrubs reboot series. Original series creator Bill Lawrence will also join as an executive producer. Tim Hobert and Aseem Batra will take over showrunner duties this time. The two know the wacky, imaginative world of Scrubs well. Each worked on the original show, which ran for seven seasons at NBC starting in 2001. It then finished up in 2010 after two seasons at ABC.

As for what fans can expect from the Scrubs reboot, it sounds like more of the same but with fresh perspectives in a very different world. The show will see JD and Turk working together at Sacred Heart for the first time in years. But while medicine and interns have changed, one thing will always remain the same: they’re still in a full-fledged bromance. The show will also stay true to its DNA in another important way. It will feature new interns. But Braff, Faison, and Chalke aren’t the only familiar faces we should expect to see. The new/old Scrubs will also include some characters from the original series.

We also do not yet have a specific release date for the Scrubs reboot.

In a statement, Lawrence said, “Scrubs means so very much to me. So excited for the chance to get the band back together.”

Of course, this Scrubs reboot wouldn’t work if he didn’t get the band back together. Scrubs always made clear that no one can do it all on their own.
