AceShowbiz - Tamera Mowry-Housley is set to guest star in the second season of the revived ABC series Scrubs, Thatgrapejuice reports. She will take on the role of Dr. Steffie, a pediatrician who tries to persuade intern Sam Tosh to pursue a career in pediatrics.

Variety confirms that the upcoming season of the Scrubs reboot will premiere on ABC on Wednesday, September 30, with two episodes airing back-to-back at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Thatgrapejuice also notes that episodes will be available for streaming the day after on Hulu and Disney+. Wtyefm adds that Dr. Steffie’s storyline centers around encouraging Tosh, played by Ava Bunn, who has been promoted to series regular status, to specialize in pediatrics. Original stars Zach Braff, Donald Faison, and Sarah Chalke return to mentor the new generation of doctors, with all three also serving as executive producers alongside Bill Lawrence, Jeff Ingold, and Liza Katzer. Aseem Batra leads the reboot as showrunner and executive producer, with the series produced by 20th Television under Disney Television Studios.

Scrubs originally aired from 2001 to 2010, spanning nine seasons on NBC and ABC. The show blends comedy and drama, following the lives of doctors at Sacred Heart Hospital. The current reboot continues this tradition by focusing on Zach Braff’s character John J.D. Dorian, Donald Faison’s Christopher Turk, and Sarah Chalke’s Elliot Reid as they guide new interns like Sam Tosh.

This casting of Mowry-Housley as Dr. Steffie adds fresh energy to the reboot’s second season, highlighting the show’s ongoing commitment to blending familiar faces with new talent. Her role alongside Bunn’s Tosh provides an intriguing new dynamic as the series explores different medical specialties and mentorship within the hospital setting.
