After 16 years, the beloved comedy Scrubs is back, and early reviews suggest it’s a worthy return. The revival brings back original stars Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, Judy Reyes, and John C. McGinley, along with familiar supporting characters. Fans are excited because the new season essentially ignores the events of the often-disliked ninth season, leaving everyone eager to see what happens next.
The new season of Scrubs, sometimes called Season 10, begins airing on ABC on February 25th, and early reviews are very positive. Critics at Rotten Tomatoes especially seem to enjoy the reunion of the characters from Sacred Heart, giving the revival an 87% rating based on 15 reviews (with only two being negative). This is a promising sign for the long-awaited continuation of the series. Here’s what the new season is about:
After a long hiatus, J.D. and Turk are back in the operating room together! While the world of medicine and the hospital interns have evolved, their close friendship remains as strong as ever. This 30-minute comedy series follows both familiar and new characters as they experience life, love, and a few unexpected twists at Sacred Heart Hospital. It stars Zach Braff as J.D., Donald Faison as Turk, and Sarah Chalke as Elliot.
What Rotten Tomatoes Critics Have to Say About the Scrubs Revival
ABC
Early reviews of the Scrubs revival don’t reveal major plot points, but they give a sense of what to expect. Zach Braff and Donald Faison are receiving high praise for their performances as J.D. and Turk, bringing back the beloved chemistry and emotional depth that made them famous. While the return of these familiar characters evokes nostalgia, the revival also feels like a modern take on the original series.
Despite generally positive reception, some critics have noted that certain plotlines in the revival feel familiar and reminiscent of the original series. Alison Herman of Variety observed that while the show aims to be fresh, it sometimes relies too heavily on past material. Chase Hutchinson of The Seattle Times suggested the reboot struggles to escape the legacy of the show’s earlier seasons. However, these points aren’t likely to deter dedicated Scrubs fans, many of whom are eager for the revival to maintain the spirit of the original.
