‘Scrubs’: Bill Lawrence & Aseem Batra On Why It’s A Revival, Not A Reboot, Fantasies That Didn’t Work Out, & New Seasons of ‘Shrinking' & ‘Ted Lasso’ [Bingeworthy Podcast]

There’s a very specific kind of comfort that only “ Scrubs ” can deliver. It’s the snap‑cut from slapstick to soul‑crushing. The hallway daydream that detonates into real grief. The sense that medicine is both sacred and absurd, and that humor is the only thing keeping anyone upright. The new “Scrubs” revival understands that alchemy. It is not interested in embalming the past. It is interesting to ask what happens when the dreamers become the grownups, when the interns who once hid behind fantasies now have to lead. On this episode of Bingeworthy, host Mike DeAngelo sits down with Bill Lawrence and Aseem Batra to talk about bringing “Scrubs” back in a way that honors its past without getting trapped by it. The revival premieres with two back‑to‑back episodes on Wednesday, February 25, on ABC and streams the next day on Hulu . For Lawrence, the return starts with gratitude. “Not every show that you worked on gets to have a fan base so passionate that they continue to do it,” he said. That passion, he noted, is alive and well, citing everything from obsessive continuity questions to fans who never stopped revisiting Sacred Heart.
