The brand new Scrubs goes to look much more just like the previous Scrubs, because of the just lately confirmed of one other authentic forged member.
Selection reviews that Judy Reyes, who performed head nurse Carla Espinosa throughout the bulk of the collection’ preliminary nine-season run, will be part of the already confirmed trio of Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, and Donald Faison within the forged of the Scrubs revival, which has been in growth since final yr. No premiere date has been introduced for the revival, however each time it returns to the airwaves, the undertaking will resume a narrative whose closing chapter was initially assumed to have been informed when the Scrubs finale aired in 2010. The official synopsis reads as follows:
JD (Braff) & Turk (Faison) scrub in collectively for the primary time in a protracted time- medication has modified, interns have modified, however their bromance has stood the check of time. Characters new and previous navigate the waters of Sacred Coronary heart with laughter, coronary heart and a few surprises alongside the best way.
As Scrubs followers will little question keep in mind, Carla was a key character — not solely did she seem in practically each episode of the present’s first eight seasons, however she married Turk on the finish of Season 3. Her absence in Season 9 was keenly felt, and defined away with the information that she’d left her nursing profession as a way to be a stay-at-home mother to their youngsters.

Other than reuniting a rising variety of authentic castmates, the Scrubs revival is being developed by a protracted listing of people that labored on the unique collection. Tim Hobert and Aseem Batra, each of whom produced Scrubs the primary time round, at the moment are on board as govt producers and showrunners, whereas Invoice Lawrence, who created the collection, is govt producing by his Doozer firm alongside Jeff Ingold and Liza Katzer.

As Selection factors out, Lawrence’s involvement required some particular dispensation — he is at present working underneath a first-look cope with Warner Bros., the place his current hits embody the Apple TV+ collection Ted Lasso and Shrinking. It’s going to additionally require some schedule juggling on his half; a fourth season of Lasso is in growth, and Shrinking is predicted to premiere its third season early subsequent yr.
