AceShowbiz - Scrubs is officially returning to ABC for its tenth season, premiering with a double episode on February 25, 2026, sixteen years after the original series finale. Fans of the medical comedy series can look forward to seeing many familiar faces from Sacred Heart Hospital back on screen this spring.

The new season’s trailers confirm that beloved characters such as JD (played by Zach Braff), Turk (Donald Faison), Elliot (Sarah Chalke), Perry Cox (John C. McGinley), and Carla (Judy Reyes) will reprise their roles. In addition to these veterans, Neil Flynn and Christa Miller have also been announced to return. Flynn portrayed the enigmatic janitor, a longtime antagonist to JD who continuously played pranks on the rookie doctor. Although his character remained nameless throughout most of the original series, he was identified as "Glenn Matthews" in the eighth-season finale, though ambiguity lingered when another character called him "Tommy" shortly after.

Christa Miller returns as Jordan Sullivan, the sharp-tongued ex-wife of Dr. Cox and a recurring character known for her sarcastic wit. Despite their divorce, Jordan and Cox’s relationship evolved over the original series, culminating in a rekindled romance by the show’s end. With Flynn and Miller confirmed, the only major cast member from the original ensemble yet to be announced for the revival is Ken Jenkins, who played the grumpy former Chief of Medicine Bob Kelso, who retired at the end of the original run.

Beyond the returning main cast, the tenth season will feature several notable guest stars. Rachel Bilson, known for her role in Hart of Dixie, will guest star as Charlie, a captivating visitor to Sacred Heart Hospital. Andy Ridings will appear as Wes, a pilot responsible for transporting organs for transplant, while Lisa Gilroy will take on the role of Lily, a harpist who performs in the hospital lobby, adding a fresh dynamic to the series' setting.

The revival also brings back some fan-favorite recurring characters. Phill Lewis will reprise his role as Hooch, the "seriously crazy" surgeon, and Robert Maschio returns as The Todd, the boisterous and bro-centric doctor. These familiar personalities promise to maintain the distinctive humor and camaraderie that defined the original series.

The critical reception for the new season of Scrubs has been overwhelmingly positive, with the revival currently holding an 88% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Collider’s Greer Riddell praises the reboot for embracing the core elements that made the show beloved, highlighting its blend of absurdity, heartfelt moments, and enduring friendships. This reception bodes well for the show’s future and its ability to resonate with both longtime fans and new viewers alike.

After more than a decade and a half since its original conclusion, the Scrubs revival is poised to make a strong impact on ABC’s lineup. Fans eager to return to Sacred Heart Hospital should mark their calendars for the premiere on Wednesday, February 25, 2026. Stay tuned for more updates as additional casting and storyline details emerge.
