BREAKING: The beloved cast of “Scrubs” is reuniting as John C. McGinley joins fellow stars Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, and Judy Reyes in the highly anticipated revival series. Reports from Deadline, Variety, and The Hollywood Reporter confirm that McGinley will reprise his iconic role as Dr. Perry Cox.
The revival series will air on ABC and is set to welcome back original characters while introducing new faces. McGinley, who portrayed the sharp-tongued Cox throughout all nine seasons from 2001 to 2010, adds a nostalgic touch to the project, having originally captivated audiences with his witty banter and tough love towards J.D., played by Braff.
This exciting announcement comes just days after the original cast members began to reunite, with Braff being the first to confirm his return. Faison, known for his role as J.D.’s best friend Christopher Turk, and Chalke, who played Elliot Reid, have also signed on for the revival. Reyes, who portrayed head nurse Carla Espinosa, was the latest addition before McGinley’s confirmation.
The show’s creator, Bill Lawrence, is back as an executive producer, alongside showrunners Aseem Batra and Tim Hobert, who contributed to the original series. This ensures that the revival will maintain the beloved tone and humor that made “Scrubs” a fan favorite.
Viewers can expect to see the familiar dynamic of the Sacred Heart Hospital crew when the revival premieres on ABC. McGinley, a native of Short Hills, New Jersey, adds to the local pride of this Jersey-born cast.
As the excitement builds, fans are eager for more updates on the revival. Keep an eye out for further announcements regarding the release date and additional cast members as this story develops.
