Land of the Lost Reboot in the Works at Netflix
It appears that Marshall, Will and Holly will once again be embarking on a routine expedition that instead leads them to the la-annnnd of the lo-o-o-ossst! Netflix in partnership with Legendary TV is in the 'very early stages' of developing a reboot of the cheese-tastic 1970s cult classic Land of the Lost, Deadline and others are reporting. More from TVLine Bill Lawrence: Scrubs Revival 'Looks at How the System Has Changed' - And Who, Potentially, Has Scrubbed Out The Sandman's Final Season Trailer Features Dream's Return to Hell, Warns 'All Good Stories Come to an End' For First Time, Streaming Viewing Topped Broadcast and Cable Combined in May Sid and Marty Krofft, who developed the original series, as well as Marty's daughter Deanna Krofft Pope (the VP of development at their company), reportedly will produce the project. Neither Netflix nor Legendary are commenting on the trade reports. Land of the Lost, produced by '70s TV staples Sid and Marty Krofft, starred Spencer Milligan as Rick Marshall, who during a routine rafting expedition was transported via waterfall/time portal back to prehistoric times along with his son Will (Wesley Eure) and daughter Holly (Kathy Coleman). There, the family of three contended with dinosaurs, hissing lizard men known as Sleestak, and ape-like primates called Pakuni — including one named Cha-Ka (Phillip Paley), who befriended the Marshalls and eventually learned to speak English. Milligan left the series after two seasons after demanding that he and the cast be compensated for the show's various merchandising endeavors, including lunch boxes, coloring books and board games. He was replaced by Ron Harper, who played Will and Holly's uncle Jack in the third and final season. (Harper and Milligan both passed away in spring 2024.) A 2009 film comedy version of Land of the Lost starred Will Ferrell, Danny McBride, Anna Friel and Jorma Taccone. Best of TVLine 'Missing' Shows, Found!

Scrubs 2.0: Zach Braff Inks Deal to Return for ABC Revival — Who Else Is Expected Back?
The in-the-works Scrubs revival has locked in its leading man. TVLine can confirm that Zach Braff has closed his deal to reprise Dr. John Dorian (aka JD) in the ABC sequel series, which is still awaiting an official green light at the network. More from TVLine Bill Lawrence Confirms Scrubs Revival Will Not Erase the Events of Season 9 Bill Lawrence Defends Scrubs Revival, Urges Skeptical Fans to 'Get On Board' 9-1-1: Nashville's Jessica Capshaw Introduces Her 'Strategic, Ambitious' Spinoff Character - Watch Interview Attention now turns to closing deals with fellow legacy cast members Donald Faison (Turk) and Sarah Chalke (Elliot), who, along with Braff, are expected to return as series regulars. Additionally, TVLine hears that talks are underway with a number of OG Scrubs supporting players — Judy Reyes (Carla) and John C. McGinley (Dr. Cox), among them — to recur. Reps for ABC and the Disney-owned 20th Television declined to comment. Buzz that 20th Television was looking to resurrect Scrubs intensified last fall when series mastermind Bill Lawrence revealed to our sister site Deadline that the new iteration was 'getting really close to being figured out,' adding, '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, so very close.' The primary obstacle to Scrubs returning had been Lawrence's current exclusive overall deal with Warner Bros. TV, home to the EP's Bad Monkey, Shrinking and Ted Lasso. Come December, sources confirmed that 20th — which is under the same Disney corporate umbrella as ABC — had worked out an agreement with Warner Bros. that would allow Lawrence to shepherd the new series (although he will not serve as showrunner should the project move forward). Later that month, Lawrence told TVLine that a potential Scrubs redux would stay true to the developments of Season 9, which shifted gears (and locations) and focused on a quartet of med school newbies, including Season 8 holdover Eliza Coupe. 'Kerry Bishé, [Michael] Mosley, Dave Franco… they're all still working for a reason. They're all very good,' he said at the time. 'I'm not against seeing those people [again], and I think it would be fun to have one of them zip by.' However, 'what I think we will really be focusing on is a place where some of our core regulars still work as physicians. And who are the new interns or residents at that hospital?'
