Overview
When Scrubs first aired across 2001–2010, the prognosis for a patient would sometimes look bleak, only for their fortunes to thankfully change for the better. Now that it's officially returning for a new batch of episodes, the same is true of the show itself. In America's 2025–26 TV season, Sacred Heart Hospital will be back on our screens — complete with a few very familiar faces.
Word of Scrubs being revived has been floating around for a few years, with another run for the hit sitcom locked in late in 2024. A full new season has just been ordered, however, and Zach Braff (Bad Monkey), Donald Faison (Home Delivery) and Sarah Chalke (Rick and Morty) are all confirmed to be making comebacks, Variety reports.
There's no exact date for the series' 2025–26 return as yet, or word of where you'll be able to watch it Down Under. Still, who has two thumbs and is excited about one of the most-entertaining network comedies of the 00s hitting screens again — and about JD, Elliot and Turk all being a part of it? Anyone who has ever watched Scrubs' initial nine seasons.
Braff, Faison and Chalke aren't just returning on-screen, but will each be executive producers on the new series. In front of the camera, it's also expected that more OG cast members will join them.
Getting the gang back together shouldn't come as a surprise if you've also caught other shows created by Bill Lawrence, including Ted Lasso and Shrinking in recent years. Found families are a regular part of his work. They're also something that he cherishes off-screen, he shared with Concrete Playground in a 2024 interview about season two of Shrinking.
"I still spend time with the cast and crew of Scrubs, not because we're working together, but because I sincerely love them," Lawrence told us at the time.
It seems that JD and Turk will be at the centre of the plot when Scrubs pops up on-screen again, as will Sacred Heart. The two long-time pals are set to be back working together for the first time in some time, bromance still intact, while the hospital will also welcome new characters.
There's obviously no trailer for the new Scrubs yet, but you can check out clips from past seasons above and below:
