Overview
- ABC launches a two-episode premiere on Feb. 25 at 8/7c, with weekly installments streaming the next day on Hulu.
- Zach Braff, Donald Faison and Sarah Chalke lead as veteran doctors guiding new interns, retaining J.D.’s voiceover and playful fantasy cutaways alongside 2026 workplace and healthcare updates.
- John C. McGinley and Judy Reyes return in guest roles, while Vanessa Bayer and Joel Kim Booster join a class of interns that includes Ava Bunn, Jacob Dudman and David Gridley.
- The creative team rebuilt Sacred Heart on a Vancouver soundstage and is largely bypassing Season 9 continuity to reestablish the series’ classic framework.
- Critical reaction skews positive with early Rotten Tomatoes scores in the low-to-mid 80s, though some reviews flag dated notes and uneven development for the newcomers.
