Scrubs Revival Ordered by ABC

Scrubs is scrubbing back in for the 2025-26 TV season. The long-running medical sitcom, which aired seven seasons on NBC before moving to ABC for its final two seasons, will officially return to screens in the upcoming TV season, as ABC has officially ordered the long-rumored revival of the series. Original stars Zach Braff, Donald Faison and Sarah Chalke are all signed on to appear in the revival, with negotiations ongoing with other stars, including Judy Reyes, who has a series regular gig on fellow ABC series High Potential but will most likely be able to appear on both series. The revival will feature Scrubs leads JD and Turk returning to work together, alongside new characters and those from the original series. This is only the second series order for ABC for next season, after 9-1-1: Nashville, and the network has several other projects in development to make decisions on soon, including a Rookie spinoff.

ABC Renew/Cancel 2024-25 Wrap-Up: Final Thoughts on Doctor Odyssey, The Rookie, Abbott Elementary, Will Trent & More

It's been an odd end to the season on ABC. For months, Doctor Odyssey was their only show with its fate still up in the air, and for months, they refused to announce the fate of that single show. Though they still haven't been definitive about its fate, they've essentially admitted that the show is over, and that's good enough for me to be able to put a cap on this season and do one last look back at the season that was.
