Fans of the medical comedy Scrubs have more to look forward to as the ABC revival heads into its second season. Scott Foley is officially back to reprise his role as Sean Kelly. The announcement arrived at the recent D23 panel where cast members Zach Braff, Donald Faison, and Sarah Chalke shared details about the upcoming episodes.
Foley will be a recurring character in the new season. His return promises to stir up familiar drama, as Sean reconnects with his former flame Elliot Reid, played by Sarah Chalke. This storyline arrives while J.D., portrayed by Zach Braff, navigates a new relationship of his own, setting the stage for more complex character dynamics at Sacred Heart.
Production for the second season brings back the familiar humor that defined the original series while moving the core characters forward in their professional lives. The show continues to lean into the blend of comedy and heart that fans expect, with the creative team promising new fantasy sequences and unexpected developments.
Bill Lawrence, the creator of the original series, remains involved as an executive producer. The show is produced by 20th Television and returns to ABC on September 30 with a two-episode premiere. Viewers can watch the episodes on broadcast or stream them on Hulu the following day.
