Revivals can be hit-or-miss. If the show has been off the air for a long time, even more so. That doesn’t seem to be a problem from Scrubs, which is currently making a successful comeback 15 years after it wrapped up.
The sitcom is back with a new season on Disney+ in the UK, boasting the same winning combination of humour and heart. Plus, it’s currently enjoying a solid amount of online buzz and positive reviews from critics. Could this mean a season 2 order is on the way?
Scrubs (2026) Season 2 Release Date
At the time of writing, the Scrubs revival hasn’t been officially picked up for more episodes. Most likely, the powers that be are waiting to assess viewership before making a decision either way.
The show’s creator, Bill Lawrence, told Deadline that Ken Jenkins, who played Bob Kelso in the original, will appear in season 2, as long as the show is renewed. In other words, he’s not expecting this to be a one-and-done affair.
If all goes well, Scrubs (2026) season 2 could arrive in early 2027.

What Is Scrubs (2026) About?
Scrubs returns with a fresh chapter at the same location, Sacred Heart Hospital.
The revival picks up with Dr. John “J.D.” Dorian and Dr. Christopher Turk together again in the halls where their medical careers began. Now seasoned attendings, they have to navigate a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.
Still goofy, J.D. and Turk step into mentorship roles, guiding a new generation of interns through the moments that define life in a teaching hospital. Dr. Elliot Reid is very much in the picture, too, but her relationship with J.D. is on rocky territory. Expect to see other familiar faces as well.
If you enjoyed the original series, the revival hits the same beats, so there’s plenty here to love. The list includes daydream sequences, touching interactions, and a lot of jokes. Whether that’s enough to win over a new generation of fans, it remains to be seen.
Whether or not Scrubs (2026) season 2 becomes reality, there’s still a big chunk of season 1 to come. Episodes arrive weekly on Disney+, with the finale scheduled for April.
