If anyone is skimming through this after seeing it on the “all” feed, and thinking “huh… I used to like Scrubs”, you should 100% check out this revival version.
It completely captures the same vibe and humor of the original, but with the now older cast. I was worried it would be disappointing, just relying on nostalgia to make it work, but it has completely won me over.
I love Cox.
Best conversation ever!
Wish they had kept the janitor guy.
Doctor Jan I Tor is no longer practicing?!
I heard somewhere he'll have a few surprise cameos. Could just be a rumor, though.
Oh I so hope so!!
I'm glad he's not in season 1 to give JD time to grow his new character but I do hope he comes back; I'd also love to see Michael J. Fox reprise his guest role, if he's up for it.
MJF has done a few episodes of Shrinking recently so he may be game to work on Scrubs as well.
Oh, I didn't know that; that'd be good too!
Also as an AEW fan, this notification threw me for a loop when I first glanced at it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I had to double check that Michael J Fox had the same initials.
I’m so glad I’m not the only sicko in here

So do you think the rumors are true and Toni Storm is pregnant? She's out for the rest of 2026, but they said it wasn't due the injury.
I think her and Juice would be fun parents so I kinda hope so.
Why did you change the title? The title originally read “if renewed for season two” because the Scrubs revival is a new show, not a continuation of the old show.
I changed it because the autogenerated title was unnecessarily verbose. And if you look in the URL, which I was reading - it actually says 11. So they must have changed it too.
Ah, understandable. It’s been throwing my plex library for a loop because it keeps trying to combine them, but short circuiting because tvdb correctly does not have a season 10 for “Scrubs”
I don't know if it's any different than Jellyfin; but I called it Scrubs (2026) and it picked it up great.
This is what I do with all the series I have that try to combine on plex. It’s a lot. I like getting remakes of stuff. Sometimes it just adds the year in parenthesis for no clear reason, and makes me wonder if there’s an old version out there somewhere.
It also works with (US)(UK)(AUS), etc. versions in the same library. Very handy for all the shows I want multiple versions of :)
It seems to pull that stuff through to jellyfin as well, which is nice.
That’s how I solved it too.
Good tip!
What would be a continuation of the old show?
I know the creators call it season 1, and so we have to too, but it's literally the continuation of the old show's story. How much more of a continuation could it be than continuing the same story, with the same key stars cast.
Potato potato, I suppose. Ultimately what counts is the creators intent, and how it’s categorized on IMDB / TVDB.
In Scrub’s case, it’s interesting to know that season 8 was intended as the final season, and what became season 9 (basically without the key stars) was to be a new show. ABC called it season 9, so it’s canonically season 9. Now it’s been stated that the new show is, if anything, a continuation of season 8, not 9.
It can go both ways. On one hand, you've got Roseanne, Mad About You, Murphy Brown. On the other, Fuller House, Saved By The Bell, Scrubs (2026). I'm sure part of which way it falls is dependent on contracts and which networks are involved.
Another interesting example is that The Pitt (allegedly) was pitched and initially developed as an ER spinoff, but that when a deal couldn't be made over the ER rights, the team went ahead and changed the characters with Noah Wyle still attached as the lead ER doctor. The Michael Crichton estate is suing, saying it's still a spinoff, but Warner is arguing that it's different enough and that ER's owners don't own the rights to any and all emergency room dramas starring its former cast.
My spouse and I were talking about this last week. We came to the conclusion that as good as ER was, it was more of a network drama than the uber-competent fact-based show The Pitt is, and that in the end we’re glad it’s a new show with a new setting and an almost entirely new cast.
Gotta side with Warners on this, Crichton is dead and his estate certainly doesn’t own emergency room tv shows. They probably overplayed their hand in negotiation, and in the end I’m glad it’s a new show instead of a reboot.
I wish Zach Braff would show full trunk but since he's a never-nude that'll never happen.
You mean season 2?
I changed it because the autogenerated title was unnecessarily verbose. And if you look in the URL, which I was reading - it actually says 11. So they must have changed it too.
Season II.
