The hit US sitcom, which first premiered on ABC in 2001, is a medical comedy-drama about a group of interns and their journey to becoming doctors. Since its nine-season run ended in 2010, fans have been left wondering if there’s any hope for a reboot.
On Sunday (5 June), Scrubs’ stars Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison, Neil Flynn, John C McGinley, and Judy Reyes reunited at the ATX Television Festival in Austin Texas, and discussed the potential of bringing the show back.
“Here’s the deal: I think we all want a reboot and want to work together again but it couldn’t be a full season. Maybe like a movie or something we could shoot in a few months,” said Faison, who portrayed one of the leading characters, Dr Turk.
He added: “With everything Bill is doing now, he’s never going to be free again. If he finds the time, we’ll do it.”
Lawrence, who currently serves as the co-creator forTed Lasso, jumped in to say: “We’re gonna do it because people still care about it and we enjoy spending time with each other.”
The cast later addressed the potential for a musical, with Lawrence saying: “I don’t know if there will be a Scrubs musical unless this cast all say they want to do that.”
He joked about Chalke, who plays Dr Elliot Reid, saying: “Do you really want to hear Sarah sing? No, you don’t.”
