The Scrubs reboot at ABC has added nine guest starring cast members.

The revival of the 2000s comedy will have I Love That For You star Vanessa Bayer in the role of Sibby and Joel Kim Booster (Fire Island) as Dr. Eric Park scrubbing in at Sacred Heart Hospital alongside Robert Maschio returning as Todd and Phill Lewis as Hooch.

The new intern class will include Ava Bunn as Serena, Jacob Dudman as Asher, David Gridley in the role of Blake, Layla Mohammadi as Amara and Amanda Morrow as Dashana. They join Zach Braff already announced as John “J.D.” Dorian, Donald Faison as Christopher Turk and Sarah Chalke as Elliot Reid.

And original cast Judy Reyes and John C. McGinley will guest star as Carla and Dr. Perry Cox, respectively.

“JD and Turk scrub in together for the first time in a long time: Medicine has changed; interns have changed; but their bromance has stood the test of time. Characters new and old navigate the waters of Sacred Heart with laughter, heart and some surprises along the way,” a logline from the producers reads.

The long-discussed revival of Scrubs earlier nabbed an order from ABC, where it had been in development since December 2024 though series creator Bill Lawrence of Doozer Productions. Faison, Chalke and Braff will also be executive producers on the show, which is set to premiere in the 2025-26 season.

Scrubs ran for nine seasons from 2001-10, the first seven on NBC and the final two on ABC. The show followed intern John “JD” Dorian (Braff) as he progressed through his medical career alongside best friend Chris Turk (Faison) and his on-and-off girlfriend and eventual wife Elliot Reid (Chalke).

The original series also starred Judy Reyes, John C. McGinley, Neil Flynn and Ken Jenkins. Variety was first to report on the guest starring roles added to the Scrubs reboot.
