The revival of the 2000s comedy series ‘Scrubs’ has landed a series order from ABC, with original series stars Donald Faison and Sarah Chalke officially signing on to join series lead Zach Braff in the revival. All three will also be executive producers on the show, which is set to premiere in the 2025-26 season.

Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence is also returning, with Tim Hobert and Aseem Batra set as showrunners. Lawrence said: “Scrubs means so very much to me. So excited for the chance to get the band back together.”

Scrubs ran for nine seasons from 2001-10 — the first seven seasons on NBC, and the final two on ABC. The show followed intern John “JD” Dorian (Braff) as he progressed through his medical career at Sacred Heart Hospital alongside best friend Chris Turk (Faison) and his on/off girlfriend and eventual wife Elliot Reid (Chalke). By the final season, the trio were established doctors mentoring a new crop of interns. The original series also starred John C. McGinley, Judy Reyes, Ken Jenkins and Neil Flynn with recurring characters played by Robert Maschio, Christa Miller and the late Sam Lloyd.

The revival’s logline reads: “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.”

Apple TV+ is previewing the sophomore season of Platonic, starring Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne as friends for over two decades.

Rogen and Byrne make their long-awaited return as friends Will and Sylvia in a new trailer; two years since viewers last saw the co-stars reuniting for the small screen on their critically acclaimed series.  The official Season 2 synopsis reads: “The duo tries their best to be each other’s rock, but sometimes rocks break things.”

The trailer shows how Will’s new girlfriend impacts their platonic relationship. Sylvia laments to her husband (Luke Macfarlane) that it would take way too long to replace Will, so they have to figure out how to make it work. They enter into “appropriate” adult behavior, like couples dinners with Will and his new girlfriend.

Season 2 also stars Carla Gallo, Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney, Beck Bennett and Milo Manheim, and will premiere with two episodes on Aug. 6.  See the trailer: HERE.
