Scrubs Revival in Development at ABC

A Scrubs revival is in development at ABC, with original creator Bill Lawrence and star Zach Braff set to return, 15 years after the original series ended. The new show will center on J.D., now a 50-year-old doctor, whose experiences have left him more jaded and worn down by the medical profession. Lawrence and Braff plan to maintain the original blend of humor, heart, and surrealism, while addressing contemporary healthcare challenges. The revival may include both original and new cast members to reflect changes in the characters' lives and the medical field. The cast's close relationship could help recapture the original chemistry. The series has not yet received an official green light and no premiere date has been announced.
