"Scrubs" Reboot Gets Green Light with Zach Braff, Donald Faison and Sarah Chalke to Return
Yara Sameh 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. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language

Leo Woodall is continuing his rise through the streaming world, and this time The White Lotus and One Day star is taking on something twisted, seductive, and psychological. He's been cast as lead in Vladimir , a new Netflix limited series adapted from Julia May Jonas's acclaimed novel. Woodall stars opposite Rachel Weisz, who plays a woman spiraling into obsession after meeting a charismatic new colleague, Vladimir.

ABC Cancels Series After Only One Season
ABC has made another tough decision regarding one of their newest television shows. Unfortunately, for fans of one particular series, it's been confirmed that ABC has canceled the title after releasing one sole season on their network. It took quite some time for the scripted series to receive some kind of update regarding whether or not it would be renewed or canceled entirely. Now, however, we know that ABC decided on the latter. It's unfortunate that the series had to be canceled, and even more so that crew members are alleging that there was inappropriate behavior while working on the series. What began as a promising addition to the network's lineup has now ended not only in cancellation, but under the cloud of behind-the-scenes concerns that have started to come to light in recent weeks. '' Doctor Odyssey ' has been canceled after one season on ABC.' Variety notes that 'the cast's contracts expire on Monday with no move from ABC to put the series back on its schedule for the upcoming year.' With that said, the outlet does suggest one possible reason for the show's cancellation. The news was released just 'after three of the show's former crew members filed a lawsuit against Disney and 20th Television on May 30, alleging that the studio enabled an 'unchecked campaign of sexual harassment for months'' and the crew members also accused 'assistant prop master Tyler Patton of making 'sexual jokes, innuendos, comments, sexual gestures and images' in addition to 'unwanted touching' including 'openly grabbing a visiting female employee's buttocks.' The medical drama series, created by Ryan Murphy, starred Joshua Jackson as Max Bankman. His character is a doctor on a luxury cruise line called the Odyssey. The story revolves around Bankman as he assists with medical emergencies while overseas. The series Doctor Odyssey was produced by 20th Television in association with Ryan Murphy Television. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding the latest titles to be renewed or canceled by ABC and other such television networks and platforms as we have them.

Scott Speedman To Headline ‘RJ Decker' ABC Pilot As He Eyes ‘Grey's Anatomy' Return
EXCLUSIVE: Scott Speedman has been tapped for the lead in RJ Decker, ABC's drama pilot from Elementary creator Rob Doherty based on the 1987 novel Double Whammy by Carl Hiaasen. Speedman will play the title character in the 20th Television pilot, written by Doherty and directed by Paul McGuigan. The casting expands Speedman's existing relationship with ABC and 20th TV through his role as Nick Marsh on Grey's Anatomy. He has been recurring on the ABC/20th TV medical drama after a Season 18 series-regular stint. The RJ Decker casting is not expected to impact that, and I hear the plan is for him to be able to do both should the pilot go to series. More from Deadline ABC Boss On 'RJ Decker' Fitting In With 'The Rookie', 'Will Trent' & 'High Potential' And Ordering More Pilots ABC Orders 'RJ Decker' Drama Pilot From 'Elementary' Creator Based On Carl Hiaasen's Novel 2025 Premiere Dates For New & Returning Series On Broadcast, Cable & Streaming RJ Decker centers on the eponymous RJ Decker (Speedman), a disgraced newspaper photographer and ex-con who starts over as a private investigator in the colorful-if-crime-filled world of Carl Hiaasen's South Florida. He tackles cases that range from slightly odd to outright bizarre with the help of his journalist ex, her police detective wife and a shadowy new benefactor — a woman from his past who could be his greatest ally … or his one-way ticket back to prison. RELATED: Speedman's RJ Decker is described as someone who has charm to spare and the owner of a short fuse and a restless soul. Doherty executive produces the pilot alongside Carl Beverly and Sarah Timberman of Timberman-Beverly Productions as well as McGuigan and Hiaasen. 20th Television is the studio. I hear Speedman likely would segue to filming appearances on the upcoming 22nd season of Grey's Anatomy after wrapping RJ Decker. At the time of the Season 21 finale in May, Deadline asked Grey's Anatomy executive producer/showrunner Meg Marinis whether Speedman would be back next season. 'Obviously, deals haven't been made yet, but we love Scott, and his character Nick and Meredith are still together,' she said of one of the show's most popular couples, played by Speedman and Grey's star Ellen Pompeo. 'He was also at the star ceremony supporting Ellen, so it was really great to see. Oh, and the fans were so excited to see him there with her.' RJ Decker is the only pilot ordered by ABC in 2025 so far. Greenlighted in May for midseason 2026 consideration, it feels like a good fit for crime shows with a light tone — and a singular lead — on the network such as High Potential, The Rookie and Will Trent. Felicity alum Speedman most recently starred in the Peacock horror series Teacup. He previously was a lead in the TNT drama series Animal Kingdom and had a major recurring role on Season 3 of Netflix's You. In features, he is known for his work in the Underworld franchise. Speedman is repped by CAA, Untitled Entertainment and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole.
