Scrubs is getting the band back together. Variety and Deadline report that the hospital sitcom is being rebooted on ABC for the 2025-26 season. What's more, it looks like all the major cast members are back, most notably Zach Braff, Donald Faison, and Sarah Chalke. The show will be set in the same place, at Sacred Heart Hospital, but the primary stars are now around age 50. Scrubs ran for seven seasons on NBC, starting in 2001, then finished with two seasons on ABC.

The official pitch: "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." Braff and Faison have recently been making commercials together for T-Mobile, notes Showbiz 411.
