What Happened
After a 16-year hiatus, the beloved TV comedy Scrubs has made its return with a revival season, premiering on February 25, 2026, on ABC. The new season, which is the show’s tenth, features original cast members Zach Braff, Donald Faison, and Sarah Chalke, alongside new characters portrayed by Vanessa Bayer, Joel Kim Booster, and Ava Bunn. The revival aims to reconnect fans with the iconic characters from Sacred Heart Hospital.
Why It Matters
The revival of Scrubs is significant as it taps into the nostalgia of early 2000s television, a time when network shows dominated the landscape before the rise of streaming platforms. The series combines elements of comedy and drama, appealing to both long-time fans and new viewers. The return of familiar faces and the introduction of new characters may reinvigorate interest in traditional television formats.
What’s Next
New episodes of Scrubs will air every Wednesday at 8 PM PT/ET, with a total of nine episodes planned for this season. The first two episodes were released simultaneously on the premiere date, and subsequent episodes will continue to explore the lives of the characters, including unresolved storylines from the previous seasons. Fans eager to watch the revival can also find streaming options available the day after each episode airs.
