ABC Orders Scrubs Reboot With Original Cast for 2025 Season

ABC has officially ordered a reboot of the cult medical comedy Scrubs, set to air in the 2025-2026 season, with original stars Zach Braff, Donald Faison, and Sarah Chalke returning both as actors and executive producers. The series will revisit Sacred Heart Hospital, where the medical landscape and interns have evolved, but the enduring bromance between JD and Turk remains central. Creator Bill Lawrence described the reboot as a hybrid between a revival and a fresh reboot, aiming to blend nostalgia with new storylines and characters, balancing absurd comedy with emotional honesty. Discussions are underway to include Judy Reyes, who played head nurse Carla Espinosa, depending on scheduling with her current ABC series. The cast has actively celebrated the announcement on social media, and the reboot follows the success of their podcast Fake Doctors, Real Friends, which has kept fan interest alive. While no official premiere date has been announced, the show is expected to debut midseason on ABC, continuing the legacy of the original series that ran from 2001 to 2010.
