After months of negotiations, Zach Braff has signed on for the Scrubs reboot. Per Deadline, Braff will reprise his role as John “J.D.” Dorian for ABC’s medical sitcom follow-up.

Braff’s return nearly happened, as issues over money and filming locations were the sources of conflict. Braff reportedly requested the reboot be filmed in Los Angeles, not Vancouver. Without Braff, the Scrubs reboot was on life support. However, a deal has now been reached with Braff, though no filming location has been announced.

Who could join Zach Braff in the Scrubs reboot cast?

With Braff back, ABC and 20th Television will now go after several core cast members to return for the reboot. This includes Donald Faison as Christopher Turk, Sarah Chalke as Elliot Reid, Judy Reyes as Carla Espinosa, and John C. McGinley as Perry Cox.

The Scrubs reboot officially entered development in December. Series creator Bill Lawrence is attached as an executive producer and will help develop the project. Lawrence will not be the showrunner if the reboot gets a series order.

Lawrence is currently under an exclusive deal with Warner Bros. TV, where he spearheads shows like Shrinking, Bad Monkey, Ted Lasso, and the upcoming Steve Carell HBO comedy. However, Lawrence finally came to a deal with Disney to help advance the Scrubs reboot.

Scrubs is a medical sitcom that follows the lives of medical students and doctors at the fictional Sacred Heart Hospital. Created by Lawrence, Scrubs premiered in October 2001 and ran for seven seasons on NBC. The show finished up its run on ABC for the final two seasons. The last season was retooled as Scrubs: Med School.

Scrubs garnered 17 Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Comedy Series (2005 and 2006) and Outstanding Lead Actor for Braff (2005). Stream Scrubs on Hulu and Peacock.
