Scrubs Reboot: Reviews, Ratings & Is It Worth Watching?

The tenth season of the medical comedy Scrubs premiered on ABC in the United States on Wednesday, February 25, 2026 and became available to stream on Disney+ in the UK the following day, February 26, according to reports from Radio Times and The Journal.

The revival brings back original stars Zach Braff, Donald Faison, and Sarah Chalke, reprising their roles as J.D., Turk, and Elliot, respectively. Bill Lawrence, the creator of the original series, as well returns for the reboot. The new season features the original trio mentoring a fresh cohort of doctors at Sacred Heart Hospital, as detailed by The Ringer.

Early reactions to the reboot have been mixed, with critics noting a deliberate effort to recapture the tone of the display’s earlier seasons. The Ringer reported that Chalke recounted experiencing familiar on-set pranks from Braff and Faison, mirroring the dynamic that characterized the original run of the series. Specifically, the actors recreated a high-pitched whine used to playfully disrupt Chalke during filming, a practice that occurred frequently during the show’s initial broadcast.

The season consists of nine episodes, a shorter run than many of the earlier seasons of the show, as noted by Radio Times. The release schedule is weekly, with new episodes debuting on ABC in the US on Wednesdays and on Disney+ in the UK on Thursdays. Episode 3 is scheduled for release on Wednesday, March 4 in the US and Thursday, March 5 in the UK.

The return of Scrubs has been discussed for years, with the revival finally materializing after initial announcements in July of the previous year and a trailer release in November, according to The Journal. The series aims to balance humor and heartfelt moments while navigating the evolving landscape of modern medicine.
