Production

Development

As early as 2022, series creator Bill Lawrence planned on doing a revival of the series.[6] In December 2024, it was reported that a Scrubs revival was in development at ABC from Lawrence.[7] In July 2025, the revival received a series order and it was set to debut during the 2025–26 television season on ABC.[8] Executive producers include Lawrence, Braff, Faison, Chalke, Jeff Ingold, Liza Katzer, Tim Hobert and Aseem Batra, with Hobert and Batra serving as showrunners. In October 2025, it was reported that Hobert left the production due to creative differences.[9] He is still credited as executive producer.

Casting

Along with the revival announcement, it was confirmed Braff, Faison and Chalke would reprise their roles.[10] In September 2025, Reyes and McGinley were confirmed to return in recurring roles.[11][12] In October 2025, it was confirmed Robert Maschio and Phill Lewis would return in their original series roles, and that new cast members would include Vanessa Bayer, Joel Kim Booster, Ava Bunn, Jacob Dudman, David Gridley, Layla Mohammadi and Amanda Morrow.[13] In February 2026, it was announced that Neil Flynn and Christa Miller would reprise their roles, while Rachel Bilson, Andy Ridings and Lisa Gilroy were announced as guest stars.[14]

Filming

Production began in October 2025 in Vancouver and concluded in December 2025.[15] Filming took place on sets recreating the original North Hollywood Medical Center, the decommissioned hospital that served as the filming location and production offices of the first eight seasons. The exterior of the ground floor emergency entrance of the fictional Sacred Heart Hospital was replicated, with special effects used to show the exterior of the upper floors, while interiors were built identical to the blueprints of the original hospital building-turned-set, on a soundstage.[16]

Release

The season premiered on February 25, 2026, on ABC with back-to-back episodes. Episodes are available to stream the following day on Hulu.[17] The revival season consists of 9 episodes.[2]

Reception

The revival season has received positive reviews from critics.[18] On Rotten Tomatoes, the season has an approval rating of 90% based on 41 reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "Scrubs revives and revamps its signature laughs and cast to deliver another fan-favorite run of medical gags, heartfelt dramedy, and instant fun."[19] On Metacritic, it has a score of 72 out of 100 based on 25 reviews, signifying "generally favorable" reviews.[20]
