    Zach Braff will be joined in the Scrubs revival by Donald Faison and Sarah Chalke

    The medial comedy-drama has officially been given a series order by ABC and not only is the show lead Zach reprising his role as Dr. John Michael 'J.D.' Dorian, he will be joined by his former co-stars as Dr. Chris Turk and Dr. Elliot Reid, his on-screen wife, respectively


    Zach shared the news on his Instagram Stories, singing to the tune of Scrubs' theme song: "I can't do this all on my own/I need Sarah Chalke and Donald Faison" to the tune of the Scrubs theme, Lazlo Bane's "I'm No Superman."

    Sarah shared a number of throwback photos of herself, Zach, and Donald on Instagram along with the simple caption: "YAY!!!"

    Bill Lawrence, who created the original Scrubs - which ran for 182 episodes between 2001 and 2010 - will return as ex ecutive producer.

    He said in a statement: "Scrubs means so very much to me. So excited for the chance to get the band back together."

    In announcing the series for the revival, the official logline stated: "JD + 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. Characters new and old navigate the waters of Sacred Heart with laughter, heart and some surprises along the way."

    When Scrubs was rebooted for a ninth season with the focus on a new batch of interns, Donald and John C. McGinley were the only cast members to stay on as regulars.

    Meanwhile, Zach previously confessed to feeling "exhausted" at the end of his time on 'Scrubs'.

    The 50-year-old actor loved the experience of shooting the show - but he also admitted that it took a toll on him.

    He told the Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum podcast: "I miss laughing every day. Belly laughing every day was - that was the job. And when that goes away, by the time nine years were over, we were sort of all exhausted by it."

    Zach also confessed that he "didn't really have much of a life outside of [the show]".

    He said: "We were starting to repeat jokes. Everyone's pretty fried.

    "We would do insane hours that people don't even do anymore. We didn't really have much of a life outside of it. So we were just kind of fried."
