Summary
- Zach Braff expressed nervousness about Scrubs revival's success.
- Creator Bill Lawrence is back, boosting confidence in the show.
- Dr. Cox faces an autoimmune disease in the new season's storylines.

The highly anticipated second season of the Scrubs revival is set to premiere on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. Despite the show's enduring legacy and creator Bill Lawrence's return, star Zach Braff confessed to having initial doubts about the revival's reception.
Braff's concerns stemmed from the challenge of pleasing longtime fans while attracting new viewers, and whether the show's humor would translate effectively over 15 years later. However, the revival proved successful in its first season, re-engaging audiences and introducing new characters effectively.
The upcoming season promises to delve into compelling storylines, including Dr. Cox's recent diagnosis with microscopic polyangiitis and the team's efforts to support him. Additionally, the personal lives of J.D., Turk, and Elliot will continue to be explored, with J.D. having found a new love interest in Rachel Bilson's Charlie.
