Scrubs Reboot Coming in 2026
After some TikTok sneak peeks, the Scrubs reboot is officially happening. Creator Bill Lawrence, known for Ted Lasso, returns to continue the original story rather than restarting it entirely.
Returning Characters and Setting
J.D. and Turk are back at Sacred Heart Hospital, a little older and wiser, accompanied by a new group of interns. The show maintains its trademark heart, chaos, and quirky humor while adding a modern perspective on medicine today.
Premiere Details
- The reboot will air on ABC’s 2025–26 season.
- The US premiere is scheduled for February 25, 2026.
- Australian release date is not yet confirmed but expected soon after the US debut.
Cast Confirmations
- Zach Braff (J.D.), Donald Faison (Turk), and Sarah Chalke (Elliot) return to major roles.
- Judy Reyes (Carla) and John C. McGinley (Dr. Cox) will make appearances to keep the classic Sacred Heart vibe alive.
New Elements
Alongside the familiar faces, new interns will join, bringing fresh energy and shaking up the dynamic within the hospital.
Streaming and Availability
"While the US gets it on ABC and Hulu, Aussie fans will likely find the reboot streaming on Disney+ or Stan where the original nine seasons currently live."
Though unofficial, these platforms are the best bets for Australian viewers once new episodes become available.
