ABC has officially ordered a tenth season of Scrubs, bringing back fan favorites Zach Braff, Donald Faison, and Sarah Chalke as regular cast members. The original creator, Bill Lawrence, is returning as an executive producer, with Tim Hobert and Aseem Batra joining as showrunners.

The new season is set to air during the 2025-26 TV season. According to the official description, fans will see “Jd and Turk scrub in together for the first time in a long time.” While medicine and the hospital interns have changed over the years, the close friendship between Jd and Turk remains strong.

The season promises a mix of old and new...

Per Variety, the Scrubs revival reboot has officially been given a full series order at ABC, and two original cast members, Donald Faison, and Sarah Chalke, are set to join fellow original cast member Zach Braff in the new show. News of the straight-to-series order broke today, with the reboot of the quirky hospital comedy aiming for the 2025-26 season.

Original series creator Bill Lawrence emphasized that the Scrubs reboot begins and ends with Jd and Turk, saying, "‘Scrubs’ means so very much to me. So excited for the chance to get the band back together.” Indeed, the show was never really going to work without at least Faison on board, judging from the new logline which was also just released:

"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.

The Scrubs reboot has received a straight-to-series order at ABC for the 2025-2026 season. Zach Braff is already onboard to star as John “J.D.” Dorian, and he’ll be joined by Donald Faison and Sarah Chalke, who will return as Christopher Turk and Elliot Reid, respectively.

The official logline for the Scrubs reboot series states: “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.” More original cast members are expected to return for the reboot.

Original series creator Bill Lawrence added, “‘Scrubs’ means so very much to me. So excited for the chance to get the band back together.“

“Scrubs” is officially scrubbing back in at ABC. Variety has learned that the planned reboot of the beloved hospital comedy has been ordered straight-to-series at the broadcaster for the 2025-2026 season.

As previously reported, original series star Zach Braff is already onboard with the new show. Now, he will be joined by fellow original cast members Donald Faison and Sarah Chalke. According to sources, more original cast members are expected to return.

“‘Scrubs’ means so very much to me. So excited for the chance to get the band back together,” said original series creator Bill Lawrence.

Scrubs is officially scrubbing back in.

A long-discussed revival of the 2000s comedy series has landed a series order from ABC, where it’s been in development since December 2024 — though series creator Bill Lawrence and members of the cast have talked about reuniting for years before that. Donald Faison and Sarah Chalke, who starred in the original version of the show, have signed on to join series lead Zach Braff in the revival. All three will also be executive producers on the show, which is set to premiere in the 2025-26 season.

“Scrubs means so very much to me. So excited for the chance to get the band back together,” Lawrence (Shrinking, Ted Lasso) said in a statement.

Scrubs ran for nine seasons from 2001-10, the first seven on NBC and the final two on ABC. The show followed intern John “Jd” Dorian (Braff) as he progressed through his medical...

Comic Robby Hoffman is staying booked and busy, joining the previously announced untitled Steve Carell comedy from Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses as a recurring guest star. Hoffman emerged as a scene-stealer this season with appearances on Max’s “Hacks” and the FX limited series “Dying for Sex.” This will be in addition to writing, executive producing and starring in her comedy series “Unentitled,” currently in development at HBO.

Hoffman began her career as a writer on shows like PBS’ “Odd Squad,” which won her a Daytime Emmy Award, as well as the CBC’s “Workin’ Moms” and TruTV’s “The Chris Gethard Show.” She also hosts the podcast “Too Far with Robby Hoffman.” She is repped by UTA, Jordan Tilzer at El Centro Management and Schreck Rose.

So, we're getting a "Scrubs" revival. It's frustrating, because I'm a huge fan of Bill Lawrence's medical comedy that originally ran from 2001 to 2010 on NBC — and, for the last year of its existence in that form, ABC. Led by Zach Braff as Dr. John "J.D." Dorian, the show was funny, shockingly emotional, and surprisingly medically accurate, and its main cast of characters — Donald Faison's cocksure surgeon (and J.D.'s bestie) Dr. Chris Turk, Judy Reyes' tough but big-hearted nurse Carla Espinosa, Sarah Chalke's neurotic but brilliant Dr. Elliot Reid, and the stubborn and often enraged doctor who serves as J.D.'s unwilling mentor, Dr. Perry Cox, played by John C. McGinley — are uniformly excellent.

All of this sounds like it could add up to a promising reboot of the series, but I have my doubts, and it's because of Lawrence's recent comments on the forthcoming...

Exclusive: Five-time Emmy nominee Connie Britton joins the as-yet-untitled HBO Original comedy series from Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses as a recurring guest star.

She joins the previously announced cast led by Steve Carell, Charly Clive, Danielle Deadwyler, Phil Dunster, John C. McGinley, and Lauren Tsai.

The comedy series is set on a college campus and follows an author’s (Carell) complicated relationship with his daughter (Clive).

Lawrence and Tarses wrote the first of 10 half-hour episodes.

Bill Lawrence recently offered some insight into the upcoming Scrubsrevival series. According to the creator of the flagship show, real-life changes in the medical field have influenced the new series.

Speaking to TV Line, Lawrence touched on the series' divisive ninth season while confirming that the upcoming Scrubs revival is very much about the original leading duo of Jd and Turk. "I hate the narrative, like, 'Oh, the ninth year sucked.' No, it didn't," he said. "It's sour grapes, whatever, I'm so lucky to have done it. I didn't get to work on [that season] as much, but that writing staff did a great job."

Lawerence went on to praise the actors who joined the series in its ninth season. "I think Kerry Bishé, Michael Mosley, Eliza Coupe and Dave Franco have all gone on to have great careers because they were really good," he explained. "If it had been a...

While ABC’s in-the-works Scrubs revival will feature characters both old and new, unlike Season 9, which saw Dr. John Dorian pass the proverbial torch to a new protagonist — Kerry Bishé’s Lucy Bennett — a hypothetical 10th season will be told exclusively from Vanilla Bear’s perspective.

Series mastermind Bill Lawrence revealed as much to me during a recent Zoom, where he reflected on the sitcom’s divisive ninth season and confirmed that the revival is very much about Jd and Bff Turk.

John Candy passed away on March 4, 1994, at the age of 43, having died from a heart attack. Candy had a history of heart issues in his family and spent portions of his life struggling with alcoholism and tobacco and cocaine usage. He was taken far too soon, as Candy was a charismatic, funny, talented comedian with dazzling movie star qualities. He died in Durango, Mexico, where he was filming Peter Markle's unremarkable Western comedy "Wagons East!," a film in which Candy starred opposite Richard Lewis.

"Wagons East!" was an inauspicious exit for Candy. The film was released only five months after Candy died, and it was a horrible box office bomb, earning only $4.4 million. What's more, it was terribly reviewed, racking up the rare and unenviable 0% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes (based on 30 reviews). Roger Ebert gave it one half of a star, calling it one of the least amusing comedies he had ever seen.

The reboot of Scrubs hasn't officially been confirmed yet, but show creator Bill Lawrence and star Zach Braff, who played John "Jd" Dorian, are both very excited about it. They also have some very interesting ideas for the characters that will likely surprise viewers.

TVLine reported that Lawrence and Braff opened up about the Scrubs reboot during the Atx TV Festival. Lawrence explained that they had to take into account that the actors are older, and that means their characters will be less immature. “It’s fun to talk to [the fans] about it because part of the burden is Zach and Donald [Faison] were going, ‘Eaaaaaagle!’ Those guys are 50 now!” he said. “So we have to figure out what that looks like.”

Braff agreed that there are difficulties that have come with revisiting the project. “When Bill and I shoot the s**t about it, [we ask ourselves] how do you still have the spirit...

Brooklyn Nine-Nine remains one of the last entries in a line of long-running network sitcoms. The series premiered in 2013 and revolves around detectives and staff at the titular NYPD precinct. Like most sitcoms, it featured several running gags, including making fun of Billy Joel.

In the show’s eighth season, a new character was introduced, who was portrayed as a Billy Joel superfan. While the character led to several jokes about the singer, the recurring gag also had a deeper layer to it. Here is why Brooklyn Nine-Nine continued to make fun of Billy Joel.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine premiered in 2013 and brought the comedic talents of Andy Samberg to a wider audience. The actor’s performance as Jake Peralta, alongside the ensemble cast, which included the late Andre Braugher, received widespread acclaim and popularity.

There are few revival announcements that have captured the attention of a certain age group (millennials) more than that of the hopeful Scrubs sequel series. Since it was announced at the tail end of last year that the original project’s creator, Bill Lawrence, was on-board to get back to the stories at Sacred Heart Hospital, the ball has been rolling and things are looking incredibly promising. Just last month, series star, Zach Braff, announced his plans to reprise his role as J.D., and now, thanks to both Braff and Lawrence, we have an idea for the storyline.

TVLine reports that, while in attendance at the Atx TV Festival in Austin, Texas, the pair addressed a crowd, offering up where they planned on steering the next chapter, now 15 years from its finale. Revealing what he and Lawrence have up their sleeves, Braff said,

If you are looking to name someone the maestro of the modern television comedy, it would be hard to look past Bill Lawrence. The creator and showrunner behind some of the most acclaimed comedies of the 21st century, including Scrubs, Ted Lasso, and Shrinking, Lawrence has left an indelible mark on the television industry.

At the 2025 Atx TV Festival, in a panel lovingly called “Bill Lawrence & Friends,” Lawrence, along with some of the actors from his various shows — Zach Braff (Scrubs), Brett Goldstein, Phil Dunster (Ted Lasso), Josh Hopkins (Cougar Town), and Charly Clive — reflected on his past work and exciting things to come.

Bill Lawrence and Friends on Scrubs

We know it to be true that no one can do it all on their own. After all, we’re certainly not Superman. And, thankfully, when it comes to the impending Scrubs reboot, Zach Braff won’t have to. Day by day, the actor’s old co-stars are voicing their excitement and hopefulness about being involved in what’s building up to be a successful relaunching of the beloved series of yesteryear. Most recently, it is John C. McGinley who has thrown his hat into the ring, and made it incredibly clear that he not only wants to return as Dr. Perry Cox, but he’s simply waiting for the call.

Speaking with Remind Magazine, the actor gave the update about his incredibly busy schedule, with the first thing in line being an HBO medical sitcom that he’ll appear in opposite Steve Carell. That, McGinley said, will “be wrapped by the middle of August,...

Add Candice Bergen to the list of icons appearing on Apple TV+’s “Shrinking,” co-creator Bill Lawrence revealed Saturday night during a panel at Austin’s Atx TV Festival.

Fox.

Lawrence let Bergen’s casting slip while talking about working again with Fox, the star of Lawrence’s first-ever sitcom, “Spin City.”

“He’s one of the greatest people I’ve ever met,” Lawrence said of Fox. “He’s one of my mentors. And man, what an inspiring dude, the way he’s living his life. So to get to have him back, working with him… I didn’t expect to have career highlights at this point...

Fans have been clamoring for a follow-up or reboot of the popular medical comedy Scrubs, and that became a reality when it was announced a few months ago that creator Bill Lawrence was on board to make that happen. At the time, the stars of the original series were said to be in talks to return, but now word has come that someone very important to the original cast of characters is officially returning: J.D. himself.

Per Deadline, Zach Braff will officially return as John "J.D." Dorian in the Scrubs reboot. Securing Braff was no easy task, as negotiations were said to be difficult, for various reasons. Money was one of the hurdles, but also Braff's desire to shoot the series in Los Angeles as opposed to Vancouver, which was the original plan. The negotiations got so tense at one point that some believed it would kill the project,...

Original star Zach Braff joins the cast of Scrubs reboot, we hear. More on the show’s plans below.

We reported last December that Scrubs, one of the funniest medical shows of the noughties, is due a reboot. Original creator Bill Lawrence, who went on to also create the critically acclaimed AppleTV+ series Shrinking and Ted Lasso, is on board to bring the sit-com back on our screens.

The project seems to be steadily moving on and it’s now being reported that Zach Braff is returning to Sacred Heart Hospital as Doctor John Michael Dorian, or Jd.

Deadline reports that Braff’s casting didn’t happen easily as the negotiations went on for months. Braff reportedly wanted to film the series in Los Angeles rather than Vancouver and there seems to have been issues regarding pay as well. Apparently, the entire project nearly fell apart at one point, but...

The long-gestating Scrubsreboot has just taken a major step forward, with original star Zach Braff now officially set to return as John “J.D.” Dorian. Speculation about a possible reboot or series continuation of the hit medical comedy had been rife for years before official confirmation that the project was in development at ABC in December 2024. While original series creator Bill Lawrence would later confirm that a writer’s room was being assembled in February this year, there was still no official confirmation of which original Scrubs cast members would be returning.

Per Deadline, Braff has now officially signed on to reprise his role as J.D. after months of negotiations. While ABC and 20th Century Television have declined to comment on this latest development, the original report suggests that the initial talks had previously been at an impasse over both money and Braff’s requests to film in Los Angeles,...

Deadline reports that Zach Braff will return for the Scrubs reboot series from creator Bill Lawrence. It took many months of negotiating to snag Braff, as there were difficulties agreeing on money and location. The reboot series was initially slated to shoot in Vancouver, but Braff wanted it to shoot in Los Angeles. No filming location has been announced as it’s still in development, but… Braff is onboard, so take that as you will.

The series is in development at ABC from 20th Television. Now that the deal with Braff has closed, the studio is expected to start approaching the other original cast members, including Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, John C. McGinley, and Judy Reyes.

A new Scrubs universe series is currently in the works at ABC, as has been previously reported. The latest update on the project should be very exciting for fans of the original, as one of the main stars of the original Scrubs is set to make his return.

Per THR, it's been announced that Zach Braff is officially returning in ABC's upcoming Scrubs reboot. Braff will reprise his role as Dr. John Dorian, aka. J.D., one of the main characters from the Og series. The update follows the reports that Scrubs was getting an update back in December, though series creator Bill Lawrence and some of the show's cast members have long been teasing their desire to revisit the show. As of now, ABC and 20th Television have not offered an official comment on the casting.

One hurdle that stood in the way of the new series moving forward was Lawrence's busy schedule.

J.D. is back in the building for the Scrubs reboot. After years of discussing a way to resuscitate the medical sitcom with creator Bill Lawrence, original series star Zach Braff has signed on to reprise his role as the iconic physician and self-described sensitive guy, bringing the show's return one step closer to reality. Development on the reboot officially got underway back in December, and optimism about a comeback at ABC has only grown since then, with Disney TV chief Eric Schrierhighlighting the "creative desire" of all involved as a big motivator. With Braff officially back in the fold, it may open the door for more original cast members to get their scrubs back on and join in the fun.

That Braff is reuniting with Lawrence isn't necessarily surprising. Braff has been vocal over the years about where he imagines J.D.'s story would go after the series concluded...

Dr. John Dorian is back on call: Zach Braff has signed on for the Scrubs update that’s in development at ABC.

Braff will reprise his role from the 2001-10 series as John, aka J.D., the narrator and central character for most of the show’s first run. ABC confirmed it was developing a Scrubs reboot in December, after creator Bill Lawrence, Braff and other members of the cast had for years said they’d like to reunite.

ABC and 20th Television, which is producing the reboot, declined to comment.

“We’re gonna do it, you guys know,” Lawrence said during a Scrubs reunion panel at the Atx TV Festival in 2022. “If you ever have an excuse to work with people you want to spend time with anyway, run to it.”

Despite the willingness of those involved, the path to the ABC project wasn’t a straightforward one. Lawrence currently...

Zach Braff is heading back to where it all started: “Scrubs.”

Braff, who starred in the original “Scrubs” series from 2001-2010, has joined the cast of the reboot show, which is currently in development at ABC, an individual with knowledge told TheWrap.

The news comes months after news broke in December that a follow-up of the hit medical comedy is early development at 20th Television for ABC. “Scrubs” executive producer Bill Lawrence is attached to EP the new series, but he won’t be returning as showrunner as he balances his other series, including Warner Bros. TV’s and Apple TV+’s “Shrinking,” “Ted Lasso” and “Bad Monkey.”

With Braff, who led the cast as Dr. John “J.D.” Dorian, confirmed for the reboot, it can be expected that the new series will look towards casting the series’ additional stars, including Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, Ken Jenkins, John C. McGinley and Judy Reyes.

Finally more good news for Scrubs fans. Five and a half months after the reboot of the beloved medical comedy secured series creator Bill Lawrence, the project has locked in star Zach Braff, sources tell Deadline. He will reprise his role as John “J.D.” Dorian in the Scrubs followup, which is in development at ABC from 20th Television. Reps for the network and studio declined comment.

The deal with Braff comes after months of touch-and-go negotiations that hit major hurdles over both money and Braff’s request for the series to film in Los Angeles and not Vancouver as originally planned, sources said. The impasse was so serious, there was a chance for the entire project to be, um, scrubbed, until the two sides recently came to an agreement. Because Scrubs is still in development, no filming location has been announced.

The Scrubs reboot is proving to be a...

Zach Braff may soon be scrubbing back in at Sacred Heart. The actor is on board to reprise the role of J.D. in a reboot of “Scrubs” being developed at ABC.

The reboot was first reported to be in early development in December, with original series creator Bill Lawrence serving as executive producer but not showrunner.

Lawrence, Braff and other “Scrubs” alum have discussed the idea of a reboot for years, but it couldn’t go into motion until after negotiations between Disney, which owns the IP, and Warner Bros. Television, where Lawrence has an overall deal. While working on “Scrubs” at Disney-owned 20th Television, Lawrence remains under his deal at Wbtv, where he produces the Apple TV+ comedy series “Shrinking,” “Ted Lasso” and “Bad Monkey.”

For many years, the genre of medical drama has been able to draw viewers constantly. A good show can portray the anxiety and tension that goes behind life and death situations while also portraying the personal struggles of each character. One example of this approach is Max’s recent hit show, The Pitt.

It revolves around a 15-hour shift in a fictional Pittsburgh hospital that is loaded with post-pandemic trauma, shortages of staff, and limited budget. In the show, Noah Wyle plays Dr. Robby, who is troubled by the pandemic, along with other doctors played by Tracy Ifeachor, Patrick Ball, and others. The story feels real and gritty, and if you loved The Pitt, here are 10 shows that might keep you hooked.

The Pitt is a medical drama series created by R. Scott Gemmill. The Max series is set in the emergency ward of the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital, and it follows a group of doctors, nurses, and medical interns during an intense 15-hour long shift.

New Line Cinema's Chief Commercial Officer shoots down a sequel to David Fincher's Se7en, unless one specific person returns.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, New Line Cinema Cco Richard Brener was asked if a sequel to Se7en was anywhere on the studio's horizon. Brener responded with a simple, "No." When pressed about the potential title of Eight, Brener again stated, "No," before adding, "I mean, if David Fincher wanted to do it, sure."

Directed by Fincher from a screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker, 1995's Se7en starred Brad Pitt as the overly eager homicide Detective David Mills and Morgan Freeman as the disenfranchised veteran Detective Lieutenant William Somerset. The film also starred Gwyneth Paltrow as Tracy Mills, Detective Mills' loving yet lonesome wife, Kevin Spacey as the obsessive serial killer John Doe, Richard Roundtree as District Attorney Martin Talbot, R. Lee Ermey as Mills and Somerset's Police Captain,...

Plenty of sitcoms jump the shark. Sometimes the cast loses a key character or the writers run out of ideas. But perhaps the most frustrating foil is when a sitcom is solid all the way through only to shit the bed for its final season, tarnishing its legacy for all time.

If only these five shows had gotten out a year earlier, we could binge rewatch them without that looming sense of dread.

1 Roseanne

Roseanne is probably the most famous example of this, as the final season undermined the basic premise of the show. The whole idea behind Roseanne was that it was a show about a struggling blue-collar family in the Midwest and its best episodes often dealt with the Conners’ money troubles. So, in the final season, what do they do? The Conners win the lottery, eliminating their relatability.

The show also had its most beloved character, John Goodman’s Dan Conner,...

No film so perfectly encapsulates the generation gap in America in the '60s than John Wayne's corny Vietnam War epic, The Green Berets. The genre has reached such a level of ubiquity and cliché that soon it birthed its own parody in the form of Tropic Thunder. There’s no shortage of productions exploring the political nuances and the social ramifications of the war today, but that was a different story in 1968.

Adapting the 1965 best-selling novel of the same name to theaters, it boasted John Wayne in the lead, with The Fugitive star David Janssen, Jim Hutton, and George Takei in supporting roles. The Vietnam War was a travesty in many respects. Blame US Defense Secretary Robert McNamara. For the movie, that is. Come to think of it, blame him for the war too. Reactions to the action flick were unkind. For screenwriters, journalists, and directors, it only...

Exclusive: The journey to bring Bob Dylan’s formative story to the screen took more than a decade. The film had a coterie of producers as it wound its way to production. Fred Berger and Alex Heineman got the PGA mark along with writer/director James Mangold. The other producers are Bob Bookman, Alan Gasmer, the film’s star Timothee Chalamet, Peter Jaysen, and Jeff Rosen. Here, Berger and Heineman explain the road to bring to screen the evolution of Dylan from the future from folk to rock icon. The Searchlight film tonight competes for eight Oscars including Best Picture.

Deadline: When Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016, he didn’t show up for the ceremony. What was the process in getting him to play ball here?

Fred Berger: Alex and I started talking about this movie in 2017 before either of our seven and a half year old kids were born.

Three years ago, in the midst of researching my book Talkin’ Greenwich Village: The Heady Rise and Slow Fall of America’s Bohemian Music Capital, I knew I had to talk to David Johansen. Not because Johansen — who died Feb. 28 at the age of 75 — was one of those folksingers associated with the neighborhood, but because his first major band, the New York Dolls, made its name and proudly trashy reputation at the Mercer Arts Center, a multi-tiered performance space in the Village.

In their original incarnation, the Dolls only lasted a few years,...

In recent decades, American society has developed an obsession with serial killers. Reaching an apex in the early 1990s, the American media significantly contributed to turning serial killers such as Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, and John Wayne Gacy into celebrities. Oliver Stone's highly controversial film Natural Born Killers put a spotlight on America's obsession with serial killers and the role the media played in this phenomenon.

Currently, one of the most popular entertainment mediums is true crime television shows and documentaries, many of which revolve around serial killers. Cinema, going as far back as the silent era, has always been fascinated with portraying serial killers. Psycho, The Silence of the Lambs, and Se7en rank among the best serial killer movies ever made.
