J.D. Scrubs In: Zach Braff Set To Return For ABC Reboot


The Scrubs reboot in the works at ABC has made a deal with star Zach Braff to reprise his role as John “J.D.” Dorian.

Five and a half months after the reboot of the beloved medical comedy secured series creator Bill Lawrence, the project has locked in star Zach Braff, sources tell Deadline. (He won’t serve as Scrubs showrunner as he has four series for WBTV, Shrinking, Ted Lasso, Bad Monkey and the upcoming Steve Cafrell HBO comedy.) With his deal now closed, 20th TV is expected to start making pacts with the other core original cast members, Sarah Chalke (Elliot Reid), Donald Faison (Christopher Turk), John C. McGinley (Perry Cox), as well as Judy Reyes (Carla Espinosa), who is a series regular on ABC/20th TV breakout new drama series High Potential.
