The Rush I'm Experiencing: Scrubs Is Making a Comeback! Here's What I've Uncovered About the Show's Resurgence.
Catching Up with the Scrubs Reboot Hype
Ever since Scrubs graced our screens back in the early '00s (it premiered my 8th-grade year), I've considered it both a top-tier medical show and one of the best sitcoms of all time. Fast forward over a decade, and now it looks like Sacred Heart Hospital is gearing up for a comeback. Scrubs is set to make a return, and, as a long-time fan myself, I'm beyond excited! Although details are scarce, I've gathered some exciting tidbits about the upcoming reboot. Let's dive in!
Timeline for the Scrubs Reboot
With the limited information available, we fans will likely have to wait a bit longer before we catch a glimpse of our favorite medical staff at Sacred Heart. As of now, ABC has yet to reveal any details about a Scrubs reboot release plan or premiere date. However, it's safe to say we probably won't be watching new episodes this fall. Keep your eyes peeled for an early-to-mid 2026 release.
Who's Coming Back?
From its cast to its cameos, Scrubs was known for its tight-knit cast. Since the show's original run, many of its stars have appeared together on projects, like Cougar Town or commercial campaigns, and even shared pictures on social media just hanging out. Though specifics haven't been confirmed, it wouldn't be a shock if Zach Braff (Dr. JD Dorian), Donald Faison (Dr. Turk), Sarah Chalke (Dr. Reid), John C McGinley (Dr. Cox), Judy Reyes (Carla), and Ken Jenkins (Dr. Kelso) returned for the reboot. RIP, Sam Lloyd.
What's In Store for the New Scrubs?
The big question that lurks in the minds of all Scrubs fans is: Will it be a reboot or a revival? Bill Lawrence, Ted Lasso and Shrinking creator, recently revealed to Deadline that it won't be one or the other but rather a mix of both. He did not, however, expand on what the new iteration of Scrubs will entail.
Leading the Charge: Zach Braff
In May 2025, Deadline announced that Zach Braff will be reprising his famous role as Dr. J.D. Dorian. After negotiations involving discussions about money and filming locations, Braff is set to return to Sacred Heart Hospital, ready to pick up right where he left off. There's still no word on other cast members joining him.
