The Scrubs revival is returning for a second season — but not every solid member is coming back.
The medical sitcom, which originally aired from 2001 to 2010, followed the lives of employees on the fictional teaching hospital Sacred Heart Hospital. The hit series starred Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison, Judy Reyes, Neil Flynn, Ken Jenkins and John C. McGinley before it was brought back for a ninth season titled Med School.
In season 8, JD (Braff) left Sacred Heart while Elliott (Chalke), Turk (Faison), Dr. Cox (McGinley) and Carla (Reyes) remained on the teaching hospital. The show’s final season moved the setting to a medical school to introduce recent characters.
Only Braff, Faison and McGinley remained regular solid members while others made guest appearances. Kerry Bishé, Eliza Coupe, Dave Franco and Michael Mosley were brought in, and Bishé became the show’s recent narrator after Braff, however the concept only lasted one season.
JD and Elliott briefly returned in season 9 in a time jump where they were seen getting married and welcoming a baby. ABC confirmed in July 2025 that the network could be reviving the show for season 10.
