ABC has in fact officially announced the production of the revival of the famous medical series which, between 2001 and 2010, won over millions of viewers thanks to its unique balance between surreal comedy and moments of profound humanity.

Leading the return to the set are the historical protagonists: Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke and Judy Reyes, ready to slip back into the white coats that made them iconic. A video posted on the series’ official Instagram account confirmed the news: Braff, sitting in a director’s chair with the words “Now in Production” written on it, greets fans while the camera reveals the presence of old and new faces. Among these, also John C. McGinley, the unforgettable Doctor Cox, and two new entries: Vanessa Bayer and Joel Kim Booster, ready to add a breath of fresh air to the group.

We start again 15 years later

The new season, coming soon ABC on February 25, 2026 and streaming immediately thereafter on Hulupromises to blend nostalgia and modernity. It is not yet clear whether it will be a true tenth season or a narrative reboot, but the concept remains faithful to the original spirit: showing the human and professional growth of a group of doctors dealing with the chaos of hospital and personal life.

The revival will pick up where the series left off, but with a fifteen-year time jump. The world has changed, medicine too, but the friendship between JD and Turk remains the beating heart of the story. And as always, between a surreal gag and an existential reflection, Scrubs will continue to remind us that laughing is the smartest way to survive pain.

At the creative helm of the project is now Asteem Batra, who took the reins after Tim Hobart’s exit, while maintaining the bright and melancholic tone typical of the show. Originally created by Bill Lawrence, Scrubs it was one of the symbols of 2000s television, capable of inspiring dozens of subsequent series focused on medicine. Now, with the return to Sacred Heart Hospital, ABC aims to awaken an entire generation of fans. After all, some stories don’t end: they just take a long, well-deserved break before returning.
