‘Scrubs‘ Reunion: After Years Oats, Beloved Sitcom Gets Reboot Treatment
Get ready to return to Sacred Heart! After years of rumors, the beloved medical sitcom “Scrubs” is officially getting a reboot. Sources close to the project confirmed that after overcoming a major hurdle, there’s now official movement on reviving the quirky, heartwarming comedy. The reboot is set to be developed at ABC under the 20th Television banner, with the show’s creator, Bill Lawrence, at the helm – marking his return to the world he created.
Overcoming a Scheduling Snag

The reunion of “Scrubs,” though highly anticipated by fans, hit a snag earlier on. Lawrence is currently locked into an exclusive deal with Warner Bros. Television, where he oversees four existing series. Technically, a conflict of interest. What’s cool though?
The net effect is just like a “Scrubs” fan’s own doctor being the opposite of that cliché of a doctor who spends more time on the golf course. Negotiations found a way to accommodate both. How? Well, impactful detailed specialists were indeed available to allow Lawrence to step back into those scrubs. While he’ll be leading the revitalization of his classic brainchild.
Bringing Back the Original Crew
The first order of business? Bringing the original cast back together to reprise their roles. Sources suggest that Zac Braff (John “J.D.” Dorian), Donald Faison (Christopher Turk), Sarah Chalke (Elliot Reid), and John C. McGinley (Perry Cox) are all expected to return. Talk about a dream team reunion!
There’s one crucial piece of the puzzle yet, and that’s Judy Reyes, who played the fan-favorite Carla Espinosa. While she’s a key player from the series, Reyes departed before the final season. Good news! Initial plans do include her return. The catch? She’s currently fulfilling a lead role in ABC’s “High Potential,” which could overlap with production schedules for the “Scrubs” reboot. But sources are optimistic that both projects might be able to work together.

Back in an earlier conversation, Lawrence had already given us some clues about the direction he’d want the “Scrubs” reboot to take should it happen.
He sees the combination as a med-school classic returns to their roots. “The only real reason to do it is a combo. A: people want to see what medicine’s been like for the people they love.
We’ve got ‘A’ covered, alright?
“We’ve been talking about a lot [about this reboot].
‘
But B: I think the show always worked because you see young people dropped into the world of medicine,” in a world of idealism.
That show wasn’t about doctors who spent more time playing golf than saving lives.
So I think that, no matter what it is, it would be a giant mistake not to do as a combo of those
two things.
and we’ve got a plan to weave the old with the new, making it a
