Bromance springs eternal! JD and Turk will officially reunite on a Scrubs reboot, Deadline confirmed on Thursday. The slapstick comedy, which aired from 2001 to 2010, starred Zach Braff, Donald Faison, and Sarah Chalke as three medical interns muddling through life and love in a fast-paced hospital setting. Show creator Bill Lawrence signed on to the project in December, and the show’s stars all confirmed on Thursday that they’re on board. A logline for the reboot foreshadowed that “JD and Turk scrub in together for the first time in a long time—medicine has changed, interns have changed, but their bromance has stood the test of time.” On his Instagram account, Faison (who played Turk) posted a throwback pic of him and Braff from the show, captioned “Hello again.” Meanwhile, Chalke (who played Elliot Reid) tagged Lawrence on her Instagram story and wrote “thank you for my dream job… a second time.” It hasn’t been announced yet when the reboot will be released, but whenever it is, fans will rejoice. One Instagram user even responded to Faison’s post by writing, “I wasn’t even this excited for the birth of my own child.”
