The First Reviews for the Scrubs Revival Are the Best News for the Series in Sixteen Years

by

When I first heard about the Scrubs revival, I definitely had some questions – and I wasn’t alone! The original series ended 16 years ago with a season that a lot of fans didn’t love, and honestly, everyone thought season eight was the end. Plus, revivals can be hit or miss, you know? But now that the new season is almost here, the first reviews are coming out, and it sounds like this is one reboot that actually delivers. I’m really excited!

Early reviews for the upcoming Scrubs revival, premiering February 25th on ABC, are overwhelmingly positive. The show currently has an 83% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics praising its ability to blend familiar nostalgic elements with a fresh, modern approach. Reviewers have noted that the revival successfully captures the spirit of the original series – a welcome change after the somewhat disappointing ninth season. It seems this new chapter understands what made Scrubs so beloved and delivers exactly what audiences want, offering a promising continuation for a show that previously ended on an unusual note.

The Scrubs Revival Sounds Like Exactly What The Doctor Ordered (And Fans Need)

Fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of Scrubs, and the trailer released last week only increased the anticipation. It showed Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, and Donald Faison stepping back into their iconic roles as J.D., Elliot, and Turk, alongside returning cast members Judy Reyes, Robert Maschio, Phill Lewis, and John C. McGinley. New faces Vanessa Bayer and Joel Kim Booster are joining the fun, and the trailer suggests the show will still deliver the same hilarious humor fans loved about the original.

What really set Scrubs apart was its comedy. Unlike most medical dramas that focus on seriousness, Scrubs always used humor, even when dealing with tough or emotional storylines. This actually made those moments even more impactful. The trailer for the new season hinted that it would continue this tradition, and reviews confirm that it does. Critics have noted that the revival successfully balances heart and humor, even when exploring difficult subjects, which is great news for longtime fans.

 The Scrubs revival — Season 10 — premieres Wednesday, February 25th on ABC.
