‘I Think It’s Gonna…’: Zach Braff Shares Detailed Thoughts On Possible Scrubs Reboot

As a self-proclaimed Scrubs enthusiast who has spent countless hours laughing at the antics of Dr. John Dorian and his colleagues, I must say, I am beyond thrilled at the prospect of a reboot! Having grown up with this iconic medical sitcom, it holds a special place in my heart (and funny bone).


Enthusiasts of the popular medical comedy “Scrubs” can look forward with anticipation, as actor Zach Braff subtly suggests the potential return of the series, which originally premiered in 2001.

Lately, Scrubs creator, Zach Braff, has hinted at the possibility of bringing back this classic medical comedy show. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he touched upon potential obstacles that could prevent the return of such an iconic series. One significant issue is the ownership difference between Disney (who owns Scrubs) and Bill Lawrence (the creator), who has a deal with Warner Bros. If these two companies can resolve their conflicting interests, a reboot might become a reality.

In a conversation with the media outlet, the performer, filmmaker, and scriptwriter from New Jersey expressed confidence, saying, “I believe the audience’s wishes will be fulfilled. I’m quite certain that it’s going to take place.”

Zach Braff, known for portraying Dr. John Michael “JD” Dorian on the popular sitcom, has expressed enthusiasm about revisiting his iconic role. In a recent interview, Braff shared that he frequently socializes with other Scrubs cast members like Sarah Chalke and maintains regular contact with them. The continued friendships among the cast members hint to him that reuniting for another take on the show could be both enjoyable and meaningful.

Bill Lawrence, creator of Scrubs, has expressed his desire to carry on the series rather than produce a movie, though possibly in a different style. Furthermore, he’s intrigued by the prospect of expanding the show and delving deeper into how its characters have changed over time. Moreover, he’s keen on incorporating fresh aspects that reflect the present state of the medical field.

Lawrence shared with LADbible that it’d be fascinating to find out where his beloved characters are currently and to catch a glimpse of what today’s young doctors might look like, considering those who are following in their footsteps.

He mentioned finding it intriguing to observe how these characters have evolved since their initial series concluded, as well as getting a glimpse into a fresh crop of medical professionals.

Initially broadcast on NBC from 2001 to 2007, and then wrapping up on ABC in 2010, this show was famous for its blend of physical comedy and surreal dream sequences depicting the lives of doctors at a fictional Sacred Heart Hospital. The main cast included Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison, Neil Flynn, Ken Jenkins, John C. McGinley, and Judy Reyes. This series was highly acclaimed for its groundbreaking style, and it featured some remarkable guest appearances by stars like Brendan Fraser, Colin Farrell, Heather Graham, Michael J Fox, among others.

Enthusiasts continue to be eager for a potential comeback of Scrubs, with both Zach Braff and Bill Lawrence openly sharing their strong interest in reviving the series. If copyright issues can be resolved, it might not be long before we see the beloved medical comedy back on our screens again.
