'Scrubs' Is Back — And It’s More Than Just Nostalgia for Newcomers

Fresh stories and familiar faces for everyone, fans or not.
The beloved medical comedy Scrubs is officially returning to ABC for the 2025–2026 season. Original stars Zach Braff, Donald Faison, and Sarah Chalke are set to reprise their iconic roles, with series creator Bill Lawrence returning as an executive producer.
Fans are buzzing with excitement and curiosity about the revival. One Reddit user, MarvelsGrantMan136, shared a snippet from the official series logline:
"JD (Braff) & Turk (Faison) scrub in together for the first time in a long time — medicine has changed, interns have changed, but their bromance has stood the test of time."
Another fan, CrustedTesticle, expressed hope that the new series would serve as a continuation rather than a complete reboot:
"Its a continuation right, not a reboot?"
Adding to the anticipation, user samwisethescaffolder remarked on the potential for character development:
"I know he's doing real estate now but if there aren't any Todd cameos I am going to be disappointed. They could do some really interesting things with his character maturing out of being a [expletive]."
With the original cast returning and the promise of new stories, the Scrubs revival is shaping up to be a nostalgic yet innovative addition to television.
