Zach Braff joins Scrubs reboot series at ABC

Deadline reports that Zach Braff will return for the Scrubs reboot series from creator Bill Lawrence. It took many months of negotiating to snag Braff, as there were difficulties agreeing on money and location. The reboot series was initially slated to shoot in Vancouver, but Braff wanted it to shoot in Los Angeles. No filming location has been announced as it’s still in development, but… Braff is onboard.

Scrubs premiered on NBC in 2001, introducing viewers to a quirky group of medical interns navigating life and medicine at Sacred Heart Hospital. Known for its unique blend of slapstick humour, surreal fantasy sequences, and occasional emotional depth, the show quickly became a fan favourite. It ran for seven seasons on NBC before moving to ABC for its final two seasons, with the last season featuring a largely new cast. The series starred Zach Braff as the daydreaming John “J.D.” Dorian, Donald Faison as his best friend and surgical resident Christopher Turk, Sarah Chalke as the ambitious and neurotic Elliot Reid, John C. McGinley as the tough-love mentor Dr. Perry Cox, Ken Jenkins as the cynical Chief of Medicine Bob Kelso, Judy Reyes as the strong-willed nurse Carla Espinosa, and Neil Flynn as the hilariously mysterious Janitor.
