SCRUBS Reboot Sets February 2025 Release Date — JD, Turk, and Elliot Officially Return to Sacred Heart
Get ready to hear “I’m No Superman” once again — Scrubs is officially back. ABC has confirmed that the long-awaited Scrubs reboot will premiere on February 25, 2025, at 8 PM local time, debuting with back-to-back episodes before streaming on Hulu the following day. Fans can also catch their first glimpse of the returning cast in a newly released image featuring JD and Turk doing their classic “eagle” pose.
The Scrubs Reboot Brings Back the Original Team
ABC has ordered the revival as part of its 2025–2026 TV season, bringing back much of the original Sacred Heart crew. Zach Braff, Donald Faison, and Sarah Chalke will reprise their iconic roles as John “JD” Dorian, Christopher Turk, and Elliot Reid.
They’ll be joined by Judy Reyes as Carla Espinosa, returning in a recurring guest star role, and John C. McGinley reprising his fan-favorite character Dr. Perry Cox.
In addition to stepping back into their scrubs, Braff, Faison, and Chalke will also serve as executive producers, alongside Bill Lawrence, the show’s original creator and co-showrunner of Ted Lasso.
“Scrubs means so very much to me,” Lawrence said in a statement. “I’m so excited for the chance to get the band back together.”
Showrunner and Production Details
The reboot will be showrun by Aseem Batra, a veteran writer and producer who worked on the original Scrubs series. Initially, Tim Hobert was expected to co-lead the show, but he has since exited the project, leaving Batra as the sole showrunner.
Production is being handled by Doozer Productions, the same team behind the original NBC and ABC runs, ensuring that the reboot stays true to the show’s quirky heart and surreal humor.
What to Expect from the New Scrubs
While details about the storyline remain mostly under wraps, fans can expect the reboot to balance nostalgia with modern storytelling. The new series finds JD and Turk working together again at Sacred Heart Hospital after years apart. Medicine may have evolved, but their iconic bromance remains just as strong as ever.
The reboot will also introduce a new generation of interns, much like the show’s early seasons, ensuring that the original spirit of mentorship and absurd comedy lives on.
“The show will see JD and Turk working together for the first time in years,” ABC teased in its release. “But while medicine and interns have changed, one thing never will — their friendship.”
Fans can also expect cameos from familiar faces from the original run, with the possibility of returning storylines and guest stars.
Fan Favorites and Potential Returns
One name already teasing a return is Amy Smart, who portrayed “Tasty Coma Wife” in earlier seasons. Smart said in an interview that she would “definitely revisit” her character for the reboot, adding that working on Scrubs was “such a fun, quirky show to do.”
Fans have long speculated about what happened to her character after her sudden departure, and the reboot could finally provide answers.
