Scrubs Revival: Is Season 2 Happening?
Scrubs roared back to life, and after a breakout return that hooked thousands, the big question is whether season 2 gets the green light. It isn’t official yet, but momentum is building—here’s where things stand and what to expect if it happens.
Alright, Scrubs is back—and apparently, people are loving it all over again. The big question floating around right now: will the Scrubs revival actually come back for a second season? Let’s dig into what we know (and what might still be in the works).
Where Things Stand with Season 2
So, here’s the current state of play: ABC hasn’t officially pulled the plug or given the green light for more Scrubs revival. That might sound like limbo, but honestly, it’s fairly promising given everything else bubbling behind the scenes.
What the Cast and Creators Are Saying
This isn’t one of those reboots where the original people just check in for a quick nostalgia boost. Bill Lawrence (the original showrunner) and Zach Braff are clearly eyeing a longer run. At PaleyFest, they didn’t even try to play it cool about wanting to keep going. Braff made it clear he’s down for more, and Lawrence—after a bit of banter about who gets the final say—landed on a pretty bold number:
'I think five's a great number. Everyone should be happy with five. Whatever Bill wants.'
So, that’s not just “maybe a one-off reunion.” They’re talking a full five-season arc. (Sure, that’s ambitious, but hey, aim high.)
Viewership and Streamability
Ratings-wise, the revival did solid numbers—especially for a show that came back with just nine episodes. That’s a pretty tiny season, but the audience showed up, and, let’s be honest, a lot of those old fans never fully left. Toss in the fact that all of season one is now sitting on Hulu for anyone who wants to binge, and ABC has every incentive to keep this thing going.
The Gang’s (Mostly) All Here
- Zach Braff
- Donald Faison
- Sarah Chalke
- Judy Reyes
- John C. McGinley
Yes, most of the original Scrubs crew actually showed up for the revival. If (or when) season two happens, it could mean even more familiar faces checking back in.
The Wait-and-See Game
Long story short: nothing official on Scrubs revival season 2 yet, but all the signs point to this being more of a “when” than an “if.” Cast and creators are ready, numbers look decent, and the streaming home is already set up.
If ABC wants more of that sweet nostalgia buzz (and let’s face it, they usually do), the announcement probably isn’t far off.
For now, if you haven’t seen it, all of the Scrubs revival is already on Hulu—and if you’re hoping for more, stay tuned. We’ll update as soon as ABC decides to make it official.
