Scrubs ranks as among the finest sitcoms of all time, so there’s no scarcity of individuals, myself embrace, who’re excited concerning the revival airing on ABC subsequent 12 months. Sequence creator Invoice Lawrence signed on to develop Scrubs 2.0 (not the official title) final December, and fewer than per week in the past, he shared that filming will start in October. Forward of that manufacturing begin date, there’a a brand new replace that I’m happy about, but it additionally leads me to surprise about what’s occurring with two of the unique present’s main characters.
There’s A Photograph From The First Scrubs Revival Desk Learn
After it was introduced that Zach Braff would reprise JD within the Scrubs revival, we realized that Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, Judy Reyes and John C. McGinley may even be again to respectively play Turk, Elliot and Dr. Cox. Now we’ve these 5, together with Invoice Lawrence, again collectively in {a photograph} taken from the primary Scrubs 2.0 desk learn:
It does my coronary heart good to see these acquainted faces that entertained viewers on NBC for the primary seven seasons of Scrubs, then on ABC for the ultimate two seasons. Braff, Faison and Chalke will likely be collection regulars, and Reyes and McGinley will likely be recurring visitor stars. The photograph was accompanied by the previously-released synopsis:
JD and Turk scrub in collectively for the primary time in a very long time: Medication has modified; interns have modified; however their bromance has stood the take a look at of time. Characters new and outdated navigate the waters of Sacred Coronary heart with laughter, coronary heart and a few surprises alongside the best way.
This ties properly again to Invoice Lawrence’s earlier feedback about how Scrubs 2.0 will discover what it’s prefer to be an older physician and that this revival can’t simply be a repeat of the unique present. Lawrence gained’t be as hands-on with the brand new Scrubs given his busy schedule dealing with Warner Bros.Televsion-produced exhibits that may be streamed with an Apple TV+ subscription, like Ted Lasso, Shrinking and Unhealthy Monkey. As a substitute fellow government producers Tim Hobert and Aseem Batra are the showrunners. Jeff Ingold and Lisa Katzer from Lawrence’s manufacturing firm Doozer Productions are additionally government producing.
What’s The Standing Of Kelso And The Janitor In The Scrubs Revival?
I’m glad that this photograph was shared as we speak and stay up for seeing official manufacturing pictures. Nonetheless, there are two acquainted faces from the unique Scrubs important forged lacking: Ken Jenkins and Neil Flynn, who performed Dr. Kelso and The Janitor, respectively. I’ve been questioning about their involvement within the Scrubs revival, and their absence on this photograph has me much more curious.
At this level, I wasn’t anticipating both of these two actors to be collection regulars on Scrubs 2.0, particularly Jenkins, who’s 85 years outdated. Nonetheless, it might really feel bizarre for him and Flynn to not present up on the revival, even when it’s just for one episode. Additionally, since that desk learn is nearly definitely for the primary episode, maybe Kelso and Janitor gained’t seem till later within the season. That may be superb with me, I simply hope we get to verify in on these two at the least as soon as, because it’d be good to be taught what they’ve been as much as within the final decade and a half.
