J.D. might say “nobody cares,” but we do, Sean. We do.
ABC revealed the first teaser trailer for “Scrubs” Season 2 (its 11th season overall) at D23, which confirms that TV’s Scott Foley — fresh off his gnarly exit from “Will Trent” — will reprise his original series role as Elliot’s on-again/off-again boyfriend Sean Kelly — and yes, he’ll be dating Elliot again. (No word yet if we’ll see Elizabeth Banks’ Kim this season, who was dating Sean in Season 8 and is also the mother of J.D.’s son Sam.)
He’s one of several familiar faces seen in the promo, which also features the returns of Judy Reyes (Carla), John C. McGinley (Dr. Cox), and Christa Miller (Jordan), plus Rachel Bilson, who was introduced in the revival’s Season 1 finale as J.D.’s new love interest, Charlie.
Also glimpsed in the promo: Keyla Monterroso Mejia (“The Studio”), who will recur in Season 2 as surgical nurse Mimi (per Deadline).
They all join returning series regulars Zach Braff (J.D.), Sarah Chalke (Elliot), and Donald Faison (Turk), as well as newly promoted series regular Ava Bunn (Tosh). Also returning this fall are Vanessa Bayer (Sibby), Jacob Dudman (Asher Green), David Gridley (Blake Lewis), Robert Maschio (The Todd), Layla Mohammadi (Amara Hadi), Amanda Morrow (Dashana Trainor), and Michael James Scott (Nurse Dubois).
What Happened at the End of Scrubs Season 1?
“Scrubs” Season 1 ended with J.D. and Dr. Cox unsuccessfully trying to conceal the severity of Cox’s autoimmune disease from Jordan, while Turk and Carla’s efforts to set J.D. up with a new love interest led him to Charlie, whom he met in the gift shop.
Elsewhere, Tosh and Asher shared their first kiss, Blake and Amara grew closer, and the Janitor made his long-awaited return, revealing that Maintenance Guy is his son. (Psst… is this Easter egg a bad omen for Dr. Cox?)
TVLine readers gave the “Scrubs” revival’s first and last episodes — as well as its nine-episode freshman run overall — an average grade of “A,” while TVLine hailed the series as “a revival with real purpose.”
“Scrubs” Season 2 premieres with back-to-back episodes, Wednesday, September 30 at 8 p.m. on ABC (and streaming next day on Hulu). Watch the teaser trailer above, then leave a comment and let us know if you’re excited to return to Sacred Heart.
