Scrubs is set to return for a 10th season in 2026, almost 16 years after the original series concluded
Scrubs enthusiasts have been treated to a first glimpse of the returning cast of the popular medical sitcom, ahead of its eagerly awaited return next year.
The much-anticipated 10th series of the show, crafted by Bill Lawrence, is set to debut in February 2026, nearly 16 years after the original series ended in March 2010.
Featuring Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke and Donald Faison, the comedy centred on a group of medical residents at the fictional Sacred Heart Hospital as they juggled their personal lives with the demands of their profession.
The programme quickly gained a loyal following with its unique sense of humour, while also occasionally pulling at heartstrings with touching narratives.
Ahead of the premiere of series 10 on 25th February on ABC, a brief teaser trailer has been unveiled featuring the comeback of the main trio, reports the Mirror.

In the snippet, Braff’s character John ‘JD’ Dorian confidently announces “I’m back!”, alongside Elliot Reid (portrayed by Chalke) and Christopher Turk (Faison), to a group of new interns (Ava Bunn, Jacob Dudman, David Gridley, Layla Mohammadi, and Amanda Morrow) who are clueless about his identity.
He then tries to mimic his antagonistic boss Dr Perry Cox (John C McGinley) before the man himself appears from behind a curtain to ridicule him and nurse Carla Espinosa (Judy Reyes) steps in to defend him.
Fans of the show were thrilled to get their first sneak peek at the main cast’s dramatic return.
One user posted on X: “I LOVED this show first time around! Fingers crossed it is good again.”
“I’m actually so excited for this, my first favourite show ever is coming back!!” another fan agreed.
The excitement spilled over onto Reddit, where one user commented: “I worry about this being good, but Bill Lawrence has been killing everything he works on lately.
“Ted Lasso and Shrinking are probably two of the best comedies on TV in a long time. I have confidence this will be pretty good.”
Another person posted: “I’m so excited for this. Just looking at these screencaps, you can see that it’s got the right energy.”
However, not everyone was thrilled, with some Scrubs fans wishing the series had been left in the past.
“Noooo…Noooooo.NOOOOOOOOO,” one user exclaimed. “We need to let good things rest …. This is too much now.”
All nine episodes of the new season will also be available on Hulu, and there’s speculation the series will be accessible on Disney+ in the UK.
