TVLine reported that Zach Braff has signed on to reprise the role of Dr. John Dorian (aka JD) in the ABC sequel series of ‘Scrubs’. Braff confirmed his return on social media, posting screenshots of several media reports about the news on his Instagram Stories. Reps for the network and studio declined official comment.
Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence announced earlier this year that he had a sequel series in development at ABC. The show initially ran on NBC from 2002-2008, and then on ABC from 2009- 2010, starring Braff, Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, John C. McGinley, Neil Flynn and Judy Reyes.
Fellow legacy cast members Faison (Turk) and Chalke (Elliot), are also expected to return as series regulars, with reports that talks are underway with supporting players including Reyes (Carla) and McGinley (Dr. Cox), to have recurring roles.
