Scrubs Reboot Where to Watch

“Big chunks of the creative team behind the camera, and most of it from in front of the camera, are all super invested and excited, so very close,” Lawrence told Deadline in October 2024.
Scrubs Reboot Story
Lawrence teases J.D. has fallen on hard times in the "Scrubs Reboot." “And for a while, it just tickled me for him to be playing a doctor again,” he tells Deadline. “I’m like, what is J.D.’s life — that’s straight from the book — what if J.D.’s life had taken a bad turn.”
ABC’s official synopsis for the Scrubs reboot reads: “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.”
