‘Scrubs’ Reboot Is Officially in Development!!

The most popular medical sitcom of all time is returning to television. Variety reports that Bill Lawrence is currently developing a reboot of Scrubs for ABC. Due to Lawrence‘s overall deal with Warner Bros., the Ted Lasso co-creator wouldn’t be able to work as a showrunner if the new Scrubs is ordered as a full series. Still, the writer remains heavily committed to breathing new life to the series that entertained audiences over the course of nine seasons. No cast members from the original series have been confirmed to be returning for the new production as of this moment.

Scrubs follows the doctors, nurses and patients of the famous Sacred Heart Hospital. What makes this facility peculiar is the fact that it is a teaching hospital. The title of the series is in reference to surgical scrubs and how the term is used to call low-ranking medical interns. The first seven seasons of the original series were aired on NBC, with the final two installments of the story making their way to audiences through ABC. The new iteration of Scrubs is also being developed through ABC. 20th Century Television is producing, since 20th Century Studios was acquired by Disney 2019.

The main characters of Scrubs were J.D. Dorian (Zach Braff), Elliott Reed (Sarah Chalke), Christopher Turk (Donald Faison), the Janitor (Neil Flynn), Bob Kelson (Ken Jenkins) and many other personalities who delighted audiences from all over the world with the unpredictable situations that took place inside the walls of the Sacred Heart Hospital. It remains to be seen which cast members from the original series will be back once the new version of Scrubs is produced.
