Is it normal that Scrubs (2026) reboot has not been renewed yet?

It’s going to be renewed. I wouldn’t worry about this show in the slightest. They’re probably tightening up contracts to make sure more of the key players are around.

Man I am watching the reboot right now and it is so good. Got a big smile on my face the whole time. They really captured the essence of the show at its peak.

It's negotiations stuff....the show is a hit and the cast can demand $$$$ I am sure. But abc etc want to get it as c**** as possible if they do more, so they're probably trying to talk but each side play hard ball about it. I would assume. Plus whatever they throw at it they'll have to axe or trim from somewhere else with how business is

Think it's a sure thing. Been one of ABCs biggest shows this year. My guess is they contracted for a year to see how it plays and then now have to work out next season and beyond, especially if it means more episodes with Dr. Cox.

Hasn't it only just come out? It's not abnormal for a show to not be immediately renewed.

So far, on the sitcom front, ABC has only renewed Abbott Elementary. My assumption is they’re waiting to see how the sitcom pilot(s) come out of schedule planning. If it seems good, I could see them doing 2 hours of comedy (Abbott Elementary/Scrubs) and (shifting Gears/Should We Have Kids?). If not, they’ll probably have to figure out how they want to schedule them and corresponding episode orders

I’m asking because Zach Braff said “we don’t know” in a recent AMA this week, which does not sound optimistic.

For scrubs it is networks seem to like to make the crew sweat

Especially considering the big chunk of money that went into constructing the set (they recreated and updated Sacred Heart in a completely different location, I think from scratch?) it’d be crazy for it to only get 1 season. They’ve already invested a lot.

Patience.

I like it from what I watched so far (like half) I hope it is renewed.

Seen so many reboots of older shows(uk based) but fair play to D+ but scrubs especially has been so good and Malcolm in the middle was also more than watchable! Was gutted Frasier wasn’t as good as it could have been(but when Rodney is the best thing in it and he’s 4/5th credit there’s issues)

Absolutely loving the reboot. Takes me back and they have rebooted it perfectly.

Look at their reviews of each episode on imdb. At least 8.5. Which is amazing. I cannot wait for more. 9 episodes just isn't enough. We need to go back to the 20 episode seasons

I really hope they announce the renewal soon. This 2026 reboot has been brilliant. Loved looking forward to a new episode of scrubs each week again like I did as a teenager.

Don't forget to give it a rating I would say on Disney and hulu if you can.

It's the new normal, unfortunately.

Would be awesome to see the janitor is back and has been working a quarry has a family in Indiana

They might have decided to renew it, but not for how many episodes yet depending on the rest of the pilot commitments and cast negotiations. Scrubs could be looking at a full 20+ episode season to pair with abbot elementary, or another midseason replacement (9-13 episodes). I'd be shocked if it doesn't get picked up for another season, but how long that season is... who knows.

In 2026, nothing is normal. The old normal is dead. This is the new normal.

There is literally no way it doesn't get renewed, it drew like 11.4mil viewers

Well we need it to be renewed , john mcgintley is working on rooster as a recurring character and christa miller is on both shrinking and scrubs , her screen time is short and she is the showrunner bill Lawrence wife so most likely it's sorted on her end , it's important to manage john mcgintley well but I do think there's a plan because why would they bring back Dr cox and his storyline in the end of the season , assuming the scenario the show would do well they must have some ideas for the next season.Only issue is that all these shows have different production houses and platforms so they have to get that sorted.

I HOPE THEY RENEW IT!!! It is so good and nostalgic and true to the original series. I really want to watch more. 9 eps weren’t enough, the creators need to give us 20 eps again 😎🤍

Not really locked in but thrh are talking abt John C McGinley being on kore next season as his schedule now cleared up & also Neil Flynn so they must be pretty sure comin back for 2nd season.. I love this show, as good as original 

with the amount of work they put into that set, I would bet they’re getting another season.

I mean….bill Lawrence has like 4 other shows on the go right now, maybe scrubs is a show too far

Wait there's a Scrubs reboot in 2026? I think you might be getting ahead of yourself there buddy - we're still in 2024 lol. Unless you're talking about some announcement I missed but I don't think anything official got confirmed for a 2026 release. I've been hoping they'd bring it back for years since the original ended, especially after seeing how other medical shows have been doing lately. The original cast is getting older but most of them are still acting so it could work if they did it right. Would love to see Turk and JD back in Sacred Heart or whatever hospital they'd use now. Maybe you saw some fan speculation or wishful thinking posts somewhere and thought it was real news?
