Scrubs: Zach Braff to Bill Lawrence: "We're Ready" for Reunion Movie

Zach Braff joined the "torture" bandwagon, letting Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence know that "We're ready" for a reunion movie to happen.

Over the weekend, at a panel for Bill Lawrence, Jason Segel & Brett Goldstein's Apple TV+ series Shrinking, Christa Miller had an update on the rumblings that Lawrence's Zach Braff & Donald Faison-starring Scrubs would be getting the band back together for a project of some type. Our first heads-up came during the 2022 ATX TV Festival (more on that below), with a follow-up in March during an interview with Lawrence. Miller explained that the cast of the beloved sitcom is still in touch with one another – and that they keep "torturing" Lawrence about a movie reunion. In fact, Miller joked that Lawrence found it all "so annoying" that he doesn't feel like he has a choice, so… "We're on it!" Well, it didn't take long for Lawrence to check in via Twitter – only to continue his "torture" by Braff responding.

In response to the clip from Miller that hit social media, Lawrence added another personal "definition" to what constitutes torture:

Braff quickly followed that up with, "Haha. Guess you need to get writing…" – with Lawrence in "disbelief" that Braff is getting in on the "torture" act, too. But Braff wasn't letting up, making sure Lawrence knew that "We're ready":

"Scrubs" Update from 2022 ATX TV Festival

During the 2022 ATX TV Festival, Lawrence spoke on behalf of everyone when he expressed their appreciation for the fans still supporting the show after all of these years. "We're all so grateful any of you still care, it gives us an excuse to hang out together. We are happy to spend time with each other in any way," the series creator said to those in attendance and watching online. And while a timeline would be tough to pin down based on scheduling, Lawrence and Faison made it clear that something was coming.

"Here's the deal: I think we all want a reboot and want to work together again but it couldn't be a full season. Maybe like a movie or something we could shoot in a few months. With everything Bill is doing now, he's never going to be free again. If he finds the time, we'll do it," Faison said (with a pitch that sounds very similar to what Pysch has been doing… and very successfully). "We're gonna do it because people still care about it, and we enjoy spending time with each other," followed up Lawrence with the confirmation. During a Q & A session with the audience, an attendee asked what the characters would be doing today when Reyes put out there what's been the subject of some very interesting fanfic: "I think Turk and JD finally come out" (to rousing applause). As for whether a musical episode could be on the horizon? Look, Lawrence is open to what the cast wants but… "I don't know if there will be a 'Scrubs' musical unless this cast all say they want to do that. Do you really want to hear Sarah [Chalke] sing? No, you don't," Lawrence joked in response.
