Zach Braff is set to reprise his beloved character Dr. John Dorian, also known as JD, in the upcoming sequel series to the iconic medical comedy “Scrubs.” The announcement was made by various media outlets, which Braff confirmed through social media by sharing screenshots of these reports on his Instagram Stories. While representatives from ABC and the production studio have not provided official comments, the excitement among fans is palpable.
Bill Lawrence, the creator of “Scrubs,” revealed earlier this year that he has been working on a sequel series for ABC. Originally airing on NBC from 2002 to 2008 and then moving to ABC until 2010, “Scrubs” became a significant part of television history, featuring not just Braff but a talented cast that included Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, John C. McGinley, Neil Flynn, and Judy Reyes.
In addition to Braff’s return, Donald Faison is also expected to come back as Turk, with Sarah Chalke set to reprise her role as Elliot. Conversations are reportedly ongoing with other original cast members, such as Judy Reyes and John C. McGinley, about potentially having them return in recurring roles, which could bring additional nostalgia and excitement to the series.
This revival of “Scrubs” could introduce a new generation to its unique blend of humor and heartfelt storytelling while giving long-time fans a chance to reconnect with beloved characters. With the original cast returning, there is much anticipation for how the show will evolve and adapt to today’s world, ensuring that the spirit of “Scrubs” continues in this new chapter.
