A Scrubs Reboot Is Officially On Its Way In 2026—Here’s Everything We Know

Yep, after some TikTok sneak peaks, it’s really happening—Scrubs is making a comeback. Creator Bill Lawrence (aka the genius behind Ted Lasso) is back on board, and the reboot isn’t a total do-over—it’s a continuation of the OG story.

Expect our pals J.D. and Turk back in action at Sacred Heart Hospital, a little older and wiser, with a whole new crew of interns in tow. The show promises the same heart, chaos and offbeat humour we loved, but with a modern twist that digs a little deeper into the realities of medicine today.

So, When Can We Expect Scrubs Back On Our TVs?

The reboot’s locked in for ABC’s 2025–26 season, with the US premiere dropping 25th February 2026. There’s no Aussie release date just yet, but if past trends are anything to go by, it’ll hit local screens shortly after the US launch. 

Will The Original Cast Be Back? And Any New Faces?

Fans, breathe easy—Zach Braff (J.D.), Donald Faison (Turk) and Sarah Chalke (Elliot) are all confirmed to return. Judy Reyes (Carla) and John C. McGinley (Dr Cox) will also make appearances, keeping that familiar Sacred Heart banter alive. But it’s not just a nostalgia trip, expect a bunch of fresh-faced interns joining the chaos and shaking things up to inject some new energy into those hallowed hospital halls.

Where Will We Be Able To Watch It In Australia?

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 (good reminder to head back for a re-watch). Nothing’s officially confirmed yet, but those are your best bets for when the new episodes drop. That means you've got a little over three months to reaquaint yourself with your favourite chaotic docs on call.
