Summary

AScrubsrevival is in the works , but late teases suggest that fresh episodes will be a tad drab than the series we retrieve . The original long - running sitcom was full of slapstick humor with a touch of drama , providing a amazingly realistic look at the inside workings of hospitals through surrealism and hideous daydreams . JD ( Zach Braff ) was the eternally affirmative protagonist , and this was a important part ofScrubs ' winner . However , based on the premise of the upcoming revival , the newScrubsseries may have a voiceless time get by the worked up correspondence of its harbinger .

Fans ofScrubs(myself include ) have been requesting a reboot serial for years , which makes the news that one is finally on the style middling darn exciting . While the project is n’t formally confirmed , creatorBill Lawrence is surefooted that aScrubsrevival will bump , and star Braff has order that if Lawrence is in , so is the rest of the cast . All that is needed before a script is underway is an official pitch , which Lawrence and Braff seem to have already make for out . Both showrunner and star have teased their hop slant for theScrubsrevival , which may finish up leaning on the glum side .

A revival of Scrubs has been in in high spirits demand since the show become off the air in 2010 , and now it ’s move forward .

The Scrubs Revival Will Confront Today’s Medical Challenges

Scrubs May Have A Rather Serious Start

Lawrence noted that he is eager toconfront today ’s medical challenges in theScrubsrevival , excuse that it ’s been a " ruffianly road " for medical personnel lately and that they are " very heroic " to him . Though Lawrence did n’t get into any more detail , the first thing that comes to my idea when consider today ’s medical challenges is the COVID-19 pandemic , which lead to the deaths of over 1 million the great unwashed in the United States alone . This tragedy turned hospital all over the world upside down , so there is certainly a lot for theScrubsrevival to search here .

COVID-19 is a brisk wound in aesculapian history , so the revival meeting explore such a topic could be controversial , specially in the political signified .

Scrubsoften confronted tricky subjects , but a global pandemic was almost unimaginable back in the former 2000s when the series aired . COVID-19 is a fresh wound in medical history , so the revival explore such a issue could be controversial , especially in the political common sense . Of of course , this is n’t to say that I think Lawrence’sScrubscould steer clear . Exploring how COVID-19 affects hospital and aesculapian workers through eccentric liks JD , Turk , Karla , and Elliot could be impactful and memorable . Still , it ’s hard to imagine such a series matching the step of theoriginalScrubs .

Original Scrubs Star Teases Big Changes For JD’s Character

Zach Braff’s Hopes For JD Line Up With Lawrence’s Idea

Lawrence is n’t the only one who has shared some elusive ribbing regarding theScrubsrevival . Braff , who played Dr. John Dorian ( JD ) , might not have the final say regarding the hand , but he has express ( viaScreen Rant ) some hopes for his character . Braff bespeak out that , in the 14 twelvemonth sinceScrubsended in 2010,JD would be a seasoned physician who might have suffer some of the fantastic optimismhe had when he was untested . So , theScrubsrevival might explore what JD ’s raw professional world look like as he train to reclaim that one-time sense of wonder :

Well , I think that … You know , JD is a grown a * * humanity now , and so Scrubs would still have his imagination . But I cogitate he ’s more in the Dr. Cox position these days . He ’s the aged doctor to the infirmary .

I mean it would be interesting to find him hanker for some of the innocence of his youth , and finding ways to sort of get back to the character that everyone fell in love with . To me , that would be interesting , get a line him having lose some of his joyousness , and drop dead in search for finding some of the joy of his young person .

Braff ’s thought certainly earn sense , and it ’s an fantabulous foundation for a revitalization series . However , there ’s something tragical about JD having " lose some of his delight , " especially when considering his position in combining with Lawrence ’s thought . Modern medical challenges like COVID-19 have taken a very genuine cost on medical professionals , and understandably , JD would need to work to regain some of the optimism of his youth . Still , it ’s a bleak manner to start a comedy series .

TheScrubsrevival is only in talks , so a substantial pitch , script , and confirmation are still a ways off .

Scrubs Always Balanced Emotion With Comedy (But Can The Revival Manage?)

A More Serious Start To The Scrubs Revival Could Be Great

While it seems like theScrubsrevivalwill begin on a darker bank note than where the original serial left off , this could potentially be a good thing . In this day and eld , reboots and revitalisation are a dime in a dozen , and most fail before they even make it off the primer . Nostalgia for old character can only carry an audience for so long , so a series that hopes to have any sort of longevity need a stronger sweetener . Lawrence ’s idea of search challenges in today ’s aesculapian field could sure enough be this — but it will have to come with a whole mess of heart and laughs .

While a topic as fresh as COVID-19 might be a little harder to manage , the Scrubs revival has the perfect chance to inspire viewing audience with a powerful message .

Scrubsmay have been slapstick and ludicrous , butthe serial had a alone way of front at excited or crucial topics with a healthy amount of fun . While a subject as unfermented as COVID-19 might be a little heavy to get by , theScrubsrevival has the arrant opportunity to inspire watcher with a powerful subject matter . The United States and the ease of the world are still convalesce from the pandemic , and the medical field , especially , is feeling the strain . However , as JD recuperate his optimism , perhaps the creation can join him . TheScrubsrevival can be a monitor that comedy and imagination can see us through .
