Zach Braff Says It Was 'Really Shocking' to Learn Some Scrubs Reboot Costars 'Weren't Alive' When Show First Came Out (Exclusive) In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Zach Braff opened up about his experience working on the upcoming Scrubs reboot and the surprise he felt when learning the ages of some of his new costars. The original series, which aired from 2001 to 2010, followed the lives of medical interns and residents at the fictional Sacred Heart Hospital. The new iteration, titled Scrubs: Revival, will bring back Braff as Dr. John "J.D." Dorian, alongside a group of fresh faces. "I was really shocked when I found out how young some of the new cast members are," Braff reveals. "I mean, it's not like I'm ancient or anything, but these kids are...it's crazy! Some of them weren't even alive when Scrubs first started." Braff, now 47, admits that he initially felt a sense of disconnection from the new generation of actors joining the show. However, he quickly realized that their youthful energy and perspectives were exactly what the reboot needed to thrive. "I was worried at first because I didn't know if we would be able to mesh with this new group," Braff confesses. "But once I started working with them, I was blown away by their talent and enthusiasm. They're bringing a whole new level of excitement and humor to the show." As for what fans can expect from the revamped series, Braff promises that it will maintain the same heart and wit that made Scrubs a beloved favorite during its original run. "We're still exploring the same themes of friendship, love, and self-discovery," he says. "But we're also tackling some new issues that are relevant to today's audiences. It's going to be a wild ride!" Scrubs: Revival is set to premiere later this year on ABC.#Zach_Braff #Sacred_Heart_Hospital #ABC #JD_Dorian
