Scrubs Returns With Zach Braff

[ZariusTwo]

Finally more good news for Scrubs fans. Five and a half months after the reboot of the beloved medical comedy secured series creator Bill Lawrence, the project has locked in star Zach Braff, sources tell Deadline. He will reprise his role as John “J.D.” Dorian in the Scrubs followup, which is in development at ABC from 20th Television. Reps for the network and studio declined comment.



The deal with Braff comes after months of touch-and-go negotiations that hit major hurdles over both money and Braff’s request for the series to film in Los Angeles and not Vancouver as originally planned, sources said. The impasse was so serious, there was a chance for the entire project to be, um, scrubbed, until the two sides recently came to an agreement. Because Scrubs is still in development, no filming location has been announced.
