The Scrubs Revival is finally here, bringing back the heart, humor, and signature absurdity that made the original series a beloved comedy classic. Premiering February 25, 2026, on ABC (with episodes streaming the next day on Hulu), this new season marks the triumphant return to Sacred Heart Hospital after more than 15 years.
Zach Braff reprises his role as the daydream-prone Dr. John “J.D.” Dorian, while Donald Faison returns as his inseparable best friend and surgical partner, Dr. Christopher Turk. Sarah Chalke is back as Dr. Elliot Reid, completing the core trio that fans have missed for so long. Joining them in guest-starring capacities are Judy Reyes as the no-nonsense nurse Carla Espinosa and John C. McGinley as the sarcastic, motivational force Dr. Perry Cox—ensuring plenty of familiar faces and biting wit.
The official trailer teases a fresh yet nostalgic vibe: J.D. and Turk scrub in together for the first time in years, confronting how much medicine—and the new crop of interns—has evolved. Their unbreakable bromance remains rock-solid amid modern hospital chaos, administrative headaches, and generational clashes. Expect the classic Scrubs blend of heartfelt moments, over-the-top fantasies, musical interludes, and laugh-out-loud workplace antics, now updated for today’s world.
New cast members add fresh energy, including Vanessa Bayer as Sibby (who runs a wellness program for the staff), Joel Kim Booster as Dr. Eric Park, and a group of young interns played by Ava Bunn, Jacob Dudman, David Gridley, Layla Mohammadi, and Amanda Morrow. Familiar returning faces like Robert Maschio (The Todd) and Phill Lewis (Hooch) also pop up to keep the Sacred Heart spirit alive.
Created by Bill Lawrence and produced by 20th Television, the revival picks up in the present day, focusing on how these seasoned doctors navigate change while mentoring the next generation—all with the optimism, sarcasm, and friendship that defined the original run.
Fans have waited since the 2010 finale for this reunion, and the trailer delivers exactly what many hoped for: the gang back together, facing new challenges with the same chaotic charm. Whether you’re a longtime viewer or discovering Scrubs for the first time, this revival promises more laughs, heart, and hijinks at Sacred Heart.
