John C. McGinley To Return For “Scrubs” Revival

September 5, 2025 Roger Palmer

20 Television is currently creating a revival of the hit comedy series, “Scrubs”, which was recently given a series order from ABC.

The original “Scrubs” series ran for nine seasons and followed intern John Dorian, who starts his medical career in a hospital crammed with unpredictable staffers and patients. His experiences teach him about the profession, friendship and life.

It starred Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, and Judy Reyes, who will all be returning for the upcoming revival, which will follow JD (Braff) and Turk (Faison), who scrub in together for the first time in a long time- medicine has changed, interns have changed, but their bromance has stood the test of time. Characters new and old navigate the waters of Sacred Heart with laughter, heart, and some surprises along the way.

Deadline has revealed that John C. McGinley will also be returning for the upcoming revival, where he will reprise his role of Dr Perry Cox, an attending physician and unwilling mentor to J.D. who becomes the chief of medicine at Sacred Heart Hospital before transitioning to being a professor when Sacred Heart is turned into a medical school.

The new “Scrubs” series is being created by Bill Lawrence, who is an executive producer, alongside Tim Hobert and Aseem Batra; who will the showrunners on the project. Jeff Ingold and Liza Katzer will also EP the reboot on behalf of Lawrence’s production company, Doozer.

No release date has yet been announced for the new season of “Scrubs”, but expect to see it released on the ABC linear channel in the United States, along with Disney+ around the world. The previous seasons of “Scrubs” are available to stream on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+ in the United States and on Disney+ internationally.

Roger’s Take: For me, bringing back Dr Cox is vital as he was always one of my favourite characters in the original show and provides plenty of laughes throughout the original show.
