ABC has shared the first teaser for the second season of the Scrubs revival, or the eleventh season of the show overall.
The teaser was showed during the “Scrubs: Scrubbing Back In” panel at D23 on Saturday (August 15) and the biggest reveal showed off the return of Scott Foley as Sean Kelly, Elliot’s (Sarah Chalke) former boyfriend.
Saturday Night Live alum John Higgins has also joined the cast in a significant recurring role.
Scott Foley is returning to Scrubs
Scott moderated the panel with stars Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, and showrunner Aseem Batra before confirming his return. He will reportedly recur during the season, with Sean and Elliot expected to explore their relationship again.
The Scrubs revival revealed early on that J.D. and Elliot had separated and their breakup has been controversial among fans.
But while Elliot is interested in Sean again, J.D. will pursue a relationship with Rachel Bilson‘s Charlie, setting up a new dynamic.
“Scott Foley’s back to be love interest for Sarah, and Rachel has been mine; the dynamic with us all together is just hilarious, and we’re having so much fun,” Zach told Deadline during the D23 panel.
