Scrubs Revival Release Date Revealed: When It Hits ABC, Hulu, and Disney+
Scrubs is back — but good luck finding it. With ABC airing it first and a lag before it lands on streaming, the revival is turning into a hard-to-catch watch.
Scrubs is clocking back in. The revival sticks to a simple plan that looks a little messy at first glance: two dates, and both are right. Here is how to watch without getting lost.
The short version
The new run (marketed as Scrubs Season 1) premieres with two episodes on ABC, then each episode hits Hulu the next day. Back in 2010 when the original series wrapped, this kind of hybrid rollout was barely a thing. Another reminder of how long the show has been away.
When and where to watch
ABC airs the double-episode premiere on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, starting at 8 PM ET, back-to-back. From there, ABC plans a weekly drop every Wednesday, lining up a nine-episode season that wraps on April 15. Hulu gets each episode the day after it airs on ABC, so Thursdays for streaming. For example, the two-part premiere shows up on Hulu Thursday, February 26.
Network shows occasionally shift things around mid-run, but ABC traditionally keeps a weekly pace. If any tweak appears later, expect ABC to still go first with Hulu following the next day.
ABC vs. Hulu vs. Disney+
Next-day streaming lives on Hulu. Despite some crossover between the services, Disney+ and Hulu operate as separate brands, so a Disney+ subscription by itself typically excludes the new Scrubs episodes. Viewers with Disney+ only can watch live on ABC, use a bundle that includes Hulu, or add Hulu on its own. Some ABC series land on Disney+ the day after broadcast, and Scrubs could join that trend, but placement for this season remains TBD.
A quick refresher on the road back
Scrubs built a loyal audience during its original run, even as it had to scrap for renewals. The show jumped from NBC to ABC ahead of Season 8, and the revival keeps that ABC home base while embracing next-day streaming. Titles for the first four episodes feel very Scrubs; the rest are under wraps for now.

Renewal is not locked yet. The cast and crew have made it clear they want to keep going, so if the numbers are there, more episodes feel very possible.
