Scrubs revival adds Reyes and McGinley to returning cast

Judy Reyes and John C. McGinley are among the latest original cast members confirmed to return for ABCs Scrubs revival, with Zach Braff, Donald Faison and Sarah Chalke set to lead the series that is slated for the 2025 to 2026 television season. Reyes will reprise her role as nurse Carla Espinosa in a limited, recurring capacity so she can remain a series regular on ABCs High Potential, while McGinley will return as the acerbic Dr. Perry Cox in a recurring guest role, according to network and industry reports.

The new series has received a straight to series order at ABC and will center on the longtime friendship between Braffs J.D. and Faison's Turk. An official logline teases, "JD Braff Turk Faison 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." Original creator Bill Lawrence is attached as an executive producer and has said he is excited "for the chance to get the band back together," adding that the revival will explore where the characters are now and how the medical world has evolved.
