The staff at Sacred Heart Hospital is undergoing a few changes.
ABC‘s Scrubs has promoted Ava Bunn, who plays intern Sam Tosh, to a series regular for the revival’s second season. She’ll join original series stars Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke and Donald Faison as a regular in the coming season, which is set to premiere in the fall.
Two season one castmembers are not returning, however: Sources say Joel Kim Booster and X Mayo, who had recurring roles as Dr. Kevin Park and Nurse Raymond, will not be back.
The rest of the show’s intern class —Jacob Dudman (Asher Green), David Gridley (Blake Lewis), Layla Mohammadi (Amara Hadi) and Amanda Morrow (Dashana Trainor) — will return in recurring roles, as will Michael James Scott as Nurse Dubois, Vanessa Bayer as hospital HR rep Sibby, and Rachel Bilson as Charlie, a potential love interest for Braff’s J.D. Original series actors Judy Reyes, John C. McGinley, Neil Flynn and Robert Maschiowill also recur, and Christa Miller will guest star.
Season two of Scrubs will continue to follow J.D., Elliot (Chalke) and Turk (Faison) as they work to lead and train the next generation of doctors while navigating the ups and downs of their jobs. The show’s first season performed solidly for ABC, averaging 8.5 million cross-platform viewers over five weeks of viewing.
Aseem Batra is the showrunner for Scrubs. She executive produces with series creator Bill Lawrence, Braff, Chalke, Faison, Jeff Ingold and Liza Katzer of Lawrence’s Doozer Productions, Mike Royce, Mathew Harawitz, Randall Keenan Winstonand Michael Spiller.
