Fifteen years after "Scrubs" was canceled at ABC, the reboot of the beloved hospital comedy has officially been greenlit, receiving a straight-to-series order from the broadcaster.
Original series star Zach Braff is already onboard with the new show. Now, he will be joined by fellow original cast members Donald Faison and Sarah Chalke.
According to sources, more original cast members are expected to return.
''Scrubs' means so very much to me. So excited for the chance to get the band back together,' said original series creator Bill Lawrence.
The official logline for the new 'Scrubs' reads, '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. Characters new and old navigate the waters of Sacred Heart with laughter, heart, and some surprises along the way.'
Fellow 'Scrubs' alums Tim Hobert and Aseem Batra will serve as executive producers and showrunners on the revival of the series, with Lawrence executive producing via Doozer along with Jeff Ingold and Liza Katzer.
Braff, Faison, and Chalke are also executive producing in addition to starring.
20th Television is the studio. Lawrence remains under his overall deal at Warner Bros. Television, with that studio carving out room for Lawrence to work with his former studio partners on 'Scrubs.'
The new 'Scrubs' was first reported to be in early development in December 2024, while Braff's return was first reported in May.
The show originally aired on NBC for its first seven seasons from 2001-2008, followed by two seasons at ABC from 2009-2010.
The single-cam comedy took place at Sacred Heart Hospital and followed the interns, doctors, nurses, and the Janitor through their day-to-day lives at the hospital.
Along with Braff, Faison, and Braff, the cast included Judy Reyes, Ken Jenkins, John C. McGinley, and Neil Flynn.
Prior to the pickup, ABC had only two pure comedies on its schedule for 2025-2026 — returning shows 'Abbot Elementary' and 'Shifting Gears.'
The network also ordered the spinoff '9-1-1: Nashville' straight-to-series earlier this year.
ABC did not order any pilots during the traditional pilot season this year, but is currently prepping the drama 'RJ Decker' starring Scott Speedman.
