Scrubs Creator Says They’re “Definitely Going to Do” a Revival

Scrubs Creator Says They're "Definitely Going to Do" a Revival

As a devoted Scrubs fan who has spent countless hours laughing at the antics of Dr. Cox, JD, Turk, and the rest of Sacred Heart Hospital’s quirky staff, hearing about a potential revival feels like winning the lottery on a slow Tuesday afternoon. The thought that we might get to catch up with these characters again, see how they’ve grown (or regressed), and perhaps even meet some fresh-faced young doctors is beyond exhilarating.


As a passionate admirer of Scrubs, I can’t contain my excitement after hearing some promising news! The brilliant mind behind the show, Bill Lawrence, has hinted at a potential revival in an interview with LADbible (via Deadline). He mentioned that they are “definitely” considering a comeback for our beloved medical sitcom and hopes to make decisions about this within the next six months.

As a seasoned observer of human nature and a long-time fan of the entertainment industry, I must say that Lawrence’s words resonate with me deeply. The candidness and sincerity in his statement about continuing their collaborations are refreshing, especially in an era where cynicism often overshadows genuine camaraderie. It brings to mind my own experiences working with a group of talented individuals who, despite their individual successes, prioritized the collective enjoyment and growth that comes from collaborative work.

He added, “I’m not keen on turning it into a film, but I am certainly interested in extending the series for a couple more years. It would be enjoyable to catch up with the characters I once adored and see how a modern-day doctor appears, considering the new generation of medical professionals coming up.”

He mentioned that they might determine their plans within the following half year or approximately. However, he’s also quite occupied at the moment, but in a good way.

What Is Scrubs About?

The sitcom “Scrubs” first aired on NBC on October 2, 2001. It continued there for seven seasons until ABC took it over for seasons eight and nine, which were titled “Med School”. The final episode was broadcast on March 17, 2010. Set in the fictional Sacred Heart Hospital, the series centered around the lives of its employees, with Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison, Neil Flynn, Ken Jenkins, John C. McGinley, and Judy Reyes leading the cast. Throughout its run, it also showcased several well-known guest stars like Heather Graham, Michael J. Fox, Colin Farrell, and Brendan Fraser.

For quite some time now, discussions have circulated about potentially bringing back this long-lasting series in a new form. As recently as last year, Lawrence expressed his belief that such a revival or reunion event might be unavoidable given the show’s enduring nature.

Lawrence stated that the actors, crew, and writers on that show are exceptionally talented and always eager to collaborate. He explained that their shared enthusiasm for the project isn’t merely about the work, but rather the enjoyment they get from spending time together. He added that this camaraderie is likely to naturally occur in such a creative environment.

Scrubs Stars Got Together For a Mini Reunion Earlier This Year

As a longtime fan of Scrubs, I’ve always held a special place in my heart for the show and its characters. Having grown up watching the series, it brings back fond memories of my teenage years and offers a sense of nostalgia that few other shows can match. So when I saw a recent photo of Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, John C. McGinley, and Christa Miller posing together, along with The Talk host Amanda Kloots, the excitement bubbled up inside me like it was 2001 again.

Last year, she shared with The Hollywood Reporter that everyone at “Scrubs” is imploring Bill for a “Scrubs” film. We even plan to resurrect Brendan Fraser’s character, Ben, for the movie; everyone involved in “Scubs” is eager for this project. I have high hopes, but we’re constantly pressuring Bill about it.

As a seasoned storyteller who has shared many a tale with my circle of close friends over the years, I find myself reminiscing about one particular night at our favorite local bar. One of our group, Bill, had been hinting at something big on the horizon, but was always evasive when pressed for details. That evening, as we gathered around our usual table, the topic somehow naturally came up again.
