Beloved Sitcom 'Scrubs' Revived for 2026 on ABC

In a move that is sure to excite fans, the beloved medical sitcom 'Scrubs' is set to make a comeback in 2026. The revival, which will premiere on ABC as part of the network's 2026 TV schedule, has been in the works for some time and will see the return of many of the show's original cast members.

Leading the charge are Zach Braff and Donald Faison, who will be reprising their roles as JD and Turk, respectively. They will be joined by Sarah Chalke as Elliot, with the trio serving as both stars and executive producers of the new series. Additionally, other franchise favorites such as John C. McGinley and Judy Reyes are expected to make appearances.

While the revival will undoubtedly delight longtime fans, the producers are also aiming to attract new viewers by tackling relevant issues impacting the healthcare profession today. Braff has explained that the team is working to ensure the show feels fresh, with a mixture of veteran and new writers on board. This approach should allow the series to evolve while still maintaining the core essence that made the original 'Scrubs' such a beloved classic.

Faison has also hinted that the revival will continue the story arcs that fans have known and loved for years, while also introducing new narratives. With 15 years of story to catch up on, there is certainly plenty of material to explore. However, the producers are mindful not to simply retread old ground, as Braff has emphasized the desire to avoid copying the original show.
