As a dedicated fan who grew up with the zany antics of Sacred Heart Hospital and its colorful crew, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the potential return of “Scrubs.” The original series was not just a sitcom; it was a masterclass in blending humor with heart-wrenching moments that resonated deeply with viewers.
In the 2000s, the popular medical comedy-drama series “Scrubs” enjoyed a successful run on television, airing its first seven seasons on NBC and the last two on ABC. Regrettably, this highly acclaimed sitcom concluded with a less-than-satisfying ninth season. However, more than a decade later, fans may have the chance to revisit this unique world again. Yesterday, it was confirmed that the long-anticipated “Scrubs” reboot is now in development. The original creator of the show, Bill Lawrence, will return to oversee its production, although he won’t be serving as the showrunner himself. Following fan concerns about “Scrubs” potentially returning to ABC, Lawrence has recently spoken out on social media to address these worries regarding the reboot.
Everything kicked off when Lawrence, known for his recent success with Apple TV+ shows such as Ted Lasso and Shrinking, addressed a fan of the original Scrubs on platform X (previously Twitter), who stated that they “really enjoyed this show during their childhood but there’s no justification to bring these characters back again.” The fan tagged Lawrence in their post, seeking clarification about his role in the potential reboot. Lawrence replied to confirm:
Absolutely, I’m happy to assist! It seems there’s no need for apprehension about the situation. There aren’t many people involved here, and the team has a wonderful camaraderie. If it turns out well, you’ll be thrilled. If not, you can choose not to watch. I encourage you to join us! 😂 #Scrubs
Despite some remakes/revisits of old shows not being successful, Bill Lawrence remains eager to revive “Scrubs”. For him, the potential work opportunities and the lasting camaraderie among cast and crew make this a worthwhile endeavor. However, a fan expressed worry that the reboot might not recapture the original’s magic or seem forced, to which Lawrence replied reassuringly.
I catch what you’re saying, and I appreciate your involvement. However, we need to create something that feels valuable. Let’s aim to get it right. It’s going to be an exciting journey! That’s part of our role!
Afterwards, Lawrence penned down a third message to address the worries expressed by several ‘Scrubs’ enthusiasts regarding its potential return. In his own terms: “This is something we believe is worth giving a shot.
According to the details disclosed yesterday, with Bill Lawrence joining the Scrubs reboot, our focus is now on getting the original series actors Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, and John C. McGinley, who portray John “J.D.” Dorian, Christopher Turk, Elliot Reid, and Perry Cox respectively. Judy Reyes, who plays Carla Espinosa, was initially considered for the reboot, but her role as a series regular on High Potential may prevent her from participating as well. There’s no word yet on whether Ken Jenkins and Neil Flynn will return to play Bob Kelso and the Janitor in the reboot.
Currently, it’s still uncertain whether the “Scrubs” revival will air or not, but we’ll keep you posted about any developments as they occur. For now, you can enjoy a fresh look at the original series by subscribing to Hulu and checking out our list of the top 10 “Scrubs” episodes.
