The Scrubs revival will look a little different in season 2 following multiple cast exits.
Multiple outlets confirmed on Monday, July 20, that Joel Kim Booster, who played Dr. Kevin Park in season 1, will not return. X Mayo, who recurred as Charge Nurse Raymond, is also not set to be back in season 2.
16 cast members are confirmed to be back — including returning stars Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke and Donald Faison. Out of the new group of interns introduced in season 1, Ava Bunn has been promoted to series regular.
The rest of the actors playing interns — Jacob Dudman, David Gridley, Layla Mohammadi and Amanda Morrow — are set to recur in season 2. Scrubs is also expanding with new characters such as Rachel Bilson‘s Charlie.
“This isn’t a show about the kids, but the audience is curious about their family life and home life, and so we do want to show a little bit of that as well,” showrunner Aseem Batra told Deadline in April.
Other members of the cast such as John C. McGinley and Judy Reyes are still recurring amid filming other projects outside of Scrubs.
“Both shows have been amazing and working with us to get those performers over to Vancouver [where Scrubs films],” Batra added. “So we’ll do our very best to keep them in the fold, because they are part of this in a big way, but we’re happy for their success in other areas, and we’d just love them back as much as we can get them.”
Scrubs, which originally aired from 2001 to 2010, followed the lives of employees at the fictional Sacred Heart Hospital. The hit series starred Braff, Chalke, Faison, Reyes, Neil Flynn, Ken Jenkins and McGinley before it was brought back for a ninth season titled Med School.
The show’s final season moved the setting to a medical school to introduce new characters. Only Braff, Faison and McGinley remained regular cast members while others made guest appearances. Kerry Bishé, Eliza Coupe, Dave Franco and Michael Mosley were brought in, with Bishé taking over as the show’s new narrator after Braff.
According to the official synopsis, season 2 of the revival will show J.D., Turk and Elliot as they “have leveled up from interns to icons at Sacred Heart.”
“Now, the respected doctors inspire the next generation while balancing the ups and downs of working in a hospital,” the description continued. “Together with characters new and old, they are navigating this next chapter with laughter, heart and some surprises along the way.”
