A key hurdle for the team was deciding how to tackle the “goofy youthfulness” of lead characters J.D. and Turk, given they’re no longer, well, youthful.
“The hardest part is that Zach and Donald have aged,” Lawrence said. “People still have that affinity and love for that goofy youthfulness. But if I saw two guys in their late 40s/50s doing ‘World’s Most Giant Doctor,’ and carrying each other around all the time, I would go, ‘What the fuck is going on,’ you know?”
He added that the aim of the reboot is to “see what that [friendship] looks like at their age, and [take] a comedic look at what medicine has become since those kids started out as interns.”
Who’s in the Scrubs reboot cast?
Zach Braff, Donald Faison, and Sarah Chalke, who played Dr. Elliot Reid, are definitely onboard, and there have been rumors that other major cast members are set to return as well. The original series also starred John C. McGinley (Dr. Perry Cox), Judy Reyes (Nurse Carla Espinosa), Ken Jenkins (Dr. Bob Kelso), and Neil Flynn (Janitor).
Scrubs reboot release date
When discussing the possibility of a reboot with The Independent last summer, Lawrence estimated that it would arrive in “six months to a year.” Now it’s just a waiting game.
