At its best Scrubs was the best. Yet somehow some overlook the series when listing the best shows of all-time. But that might change if a whole new generation of TV viewers get to find out what made the series special. A new report says Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence has begun working on a potential relaunch of the beloved series.

According to Variety, Bill Lawrence (Ted Lasso, Shrinking) is prepping for a possible return to Sacred Heart. Or he’s possibly looking to turn a different fictional hospital into the setting for a Scrubs reboot. Joe Otterson reports Lawrence is in early development of “a new iteration of the series.” There are no details about what the reboot could look like or who would star on it. None of the original stars are connected to the project (yet).

if it does move forward Lawrence will reportedly not serve as showrunner this time. He is developing the reboot at 20th Television. It recently brought ABC Studios under its banner. That’s where Scrubs moved for its final two seasons in 2009 and 2010 after leaving its first home at NBC after seven season. However, Lawrence has an overall deal with Warner Bros. Television. Variety‘s sources say Warner Bros. allows Lawrence leeway to work outside of that deal.

Despite being off the air for almost 15 years, Scrubs is still very much a presence on TV thanks to co-stars/podcast hosts/real-life friends Zach Braff and Donald Faison. They’ve appeared in (roughly) 40 million T-Mobile commercials the last few years, all of which have a very Scrubs-adjacent vibe.

What would Dr. Cox think about those musical ads? We can probably definitely guess, but we’d still like to hear it from him directly. Whether or not we ever will remains to be seen. But even if this Scrubs reboot never happens this news is a great reminder to go rewatch the original version anyway.
