Scrubs cast reunites after 15 years in first photo from revival series table read
Over 15 years after their last on-screen adventure, the Scrubs crew is back together, reuniting for a new photo from the table read of the upcoming revival series. The photo features series creator Bill Lawrence joining Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, Zach Braff, Judy Reyes, and John C. McGinley.
The official logline for the Scrubs reboot series states: “JD (Braff) & Turk (Faison) scrub in together for the first time in a long time- medicine has changed, interns have changed, but their bromance has stood the test of time. Characters new and old navigate the waters of Sacred Heart with laughter, heart and some surprises along the way.” Lawrence added, “‘Scrubs’ means so very much to me. So excited for the chance to get the band back together.“

Lawrence teased what the reboot could look like late last year. “With the creative side, the show’s not going to pick up a day later. It can’t. I’m interested in where these characters are, that many years later,” Lawrence said. “I always remember the finale of Scrubs, in Season 8, with J.D. saying he has a dream of how things would go and, ‘Tell me my fantasies won’t come true, just this once.’ I never said that’s what happened. I’m interested, not only creatively, in where they’d be now and who they are, but also under the umbrella of what’s happened to the medical world and how that looks now. And one step past that, I love stories where the students become the teachers, and that would be what has to happen in this type of world.“
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.
