AceShowbiz - The beloved medical comedy series Scrubs has returned with its highly anticipated reboot, also known as Scrubs season 10, featuring the original stars Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, and Donald Faison reprising their iconic roles as J.D., Elliot, and Turk. The revival premiered on ABC on February 25, 2026, with a two-episode debut that has already made waves in the fan community and critics alike.
Not only do the main cast members return, but the reboot also welcomes back many fan-favorite recurring and guest stars, including Judy Reyes as Carla, John C. McGinley as Dr. Cox, Neil Flynn as The Janitor, Robert Maschio as The Todd, and Christa Miller as Jordan. This strong ensemble contributes to the show's nostalgic yet fresh feel.
Since the premiere, the series has accumulated enough user reviews on Rotten Tomatoes to receive an official audience score on the Popcornmeter. Impressively, Scrubs season 10 boasts a near-perfect audience score of 98%, the highest in the entire series’ history. This new score surpasses the previous best of 96%, which was held by seasons 2 and 3.
Historically, Scrubs has maintained strong audience approval, with only two seasons scoring below 90% on the Popcornmeter. Below is a breakdown of each season’s Rotten Tomatoes audience (Popcornmeter) and critic (Tomatometer) scores:

Fans and reviewers alike agree that this latest season successfully recaptures the spirit of the original show, which officially ended in March 2010. Although season 9 was a spin-off with a largely different cast, many consider season 8 in May 2009 the true end of the original series run.
Reviewers highlight the reboot’s ability to balance humor and heartfelt moments, a hallmark of the original series. It effectively blends comedy with poignant reflections on contemporary medical system challenges, all while preserving the sharp wit and fast-paced humor that made Scrubs a fan favorite.
With seven episodes still to air, it remains to be seen whether Scrubs season 10 will maintain this exceptional level of audience enthusiasm. However, given the strong start and record-breaking audience score, the likelihood of a renewal for season 11 appears promising should the viewership remain steady.
Scrubs season 10 airs on ABC every Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. ET, inviting both longtime fans and new viewers to experience the humor and heart of this enduring medical comedy once again.
