The beginning of the 2026 TV schedule has already delivered the returns of some of television's hottest series, but the long-awaited revival of one fan-favorite won't arrive until late February. ABC's Scrubs reboot recruited the major stars from the original series, which ran for nine seasons from 2001 - 2008. Despite viewers still being weeks away from seeing Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke and others back in their scrubs, the stars are being honored for their work on the medical sitcom at an upcoming TV celebration.
The 14th annual SCAD TVfest in Atlanta is honoring the Scrubs team with the Cast Award, with Zach Braff (J.D.), Donald Faison (Turk), and Sarah Chalke (Elliot) in attendance as stars and executive producers of the upcoming reboot. Other original series stars like Judy Reyes (Carla) and John C. McGinley (Dr. Cox) will be back as recurring guest stars, with Reyes busy elsewhere on ABC with High Potential. Braff has also confirmed how the new show will include a touching tribute to the late Sam Lloyd, who played the scene-stealing Ted.
