‘Scrubs’ Reboot: Everything We Know, From Who Will Star To Which Original Creator Is Returning

Good news, Scrubs fans: The medical sitcom is finally getting a reboot after almost 15 years off the air.

Deadline reports that the Scrubs reboot is officially in development at ABC with series creator Bill Lawrence attached.

Lawrence was reportedly the final hurdle to getting the project in the works, but he will not serve as showrunner. Currently, he is the creator and executive producer of Shrinking and Bad Monkey, both on Apple TV+.

Now that Lawrence is involved, the studio is aiming to sign the original Scrubs cast, which includes Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, and John C. McGinley.

However, Deadline’s report points out that it is “uncertain” whether Judy Reyes will reprise her role as Nurse Carla Espinosa, given that she departed the show early and is now starring in the ABC procedural High Potential.

The reboot is in early development, so a production start date or premiere date has not been announced yet.

Lawrence told Deadline in October that the project was “very close to being worked out.”

“Big chunks of the creative team behind the camera, and most of it from in front of the camera, are all super invested and excited,” he said at the time.

The heartfelt workplace comedy followed a group of medical interns working at the wayward Sacred Heart Hospital. It ran for seven seasons on NBC until it was canceled, after which ABC later revived it for two more seasons.

Lawrence has already hinted at how he plans to go about the revival if the original cast signs on.

“We’ve been talking about a lot, and I think the only real reason to do it is a combo,” Lawrence told Deadline. “A: people wanting to see what the world of medicine was like for the people they love, which is part of any successful reboot.”

He continued, “But B: I think that show always worked because you get to see young people dropped into the world of medicine, knowing young people that go there are super idealistic and are doing it because it’s a calling. There’s no cliché ‘rich doctors playing golf’ — that’s not what it is anymore. So I think that, no matter what it is, it would be a giant mistake not to do as a combo of those two things.”

Could this mean that the show will be revived with a new cast of interns for J.D. and Turk to terrorize? Only time will tell.
