"The premiere pulled in 11.36 million viewers across platforms within its first five days, including on ABC, Hulu, Hulu on Disney+, and other digital platforms. The debut marked the network's biggest comedy episode and top streaming series debut in over a year. On traditional TV alone, the Scrubs reboot drew 4.4 million viewers live and same-day, meaning the five-day total jumped 158% once streaming and delayed viewing were tallied."
"So, while ABC hasn't officially renewed the series yet, early ratings like these often greatly increase the likelihood of a network ordering another season. I mean, if people keep watching at this pace, why wouldn't they renew it?!"
"The biggest obstacle the reboot faces regarding returning cast members is the fact that several of them are simultaneously working on other productions. Now, it's likely that fans would see many of the same faces return to Sacred Heart in a second season that we're seeing this season - we just may not see them every episode."
The Scrubs revival premiered on ABC this week, reuniting the original cast including J.D., Turk, Elliot, Carla, and Dr. Cox at Sacred Heart Hospital. The premiere drew exceptional viewership numbers, pulling 11.36 million viewers across all platforms within five days, including ABC, Hulu, and Disney+. On traditional television alone, the episode attracted 4.4 million live and same-day viewers, with the five-day total representing a 158% increase when streaming and delayed viewing were included. This marked ABC's biggest comedy episode and top streaming series debut in over a year. While the network has not officially renewed the series for Season 2, these strong early ratings significantly increase the likelihood of renewal. Cast availability presents a potential challenge for future seasons, as several actors are working on other productions simultaneously.
