Fans were delighted at news of a Scrubs reboot which got announced last year, and now UK viewers can binge all seasons for free ahead of its release.
The cult classic that ran for nine seasons is coming back to our screens for an official reunion of the employees at Sacred Heart Hospital.
Sadly, it seems not all of the old crew will be there, as viewers spotted the omission of the Janitor (Neil Flynn) from the newly released trailer.
Given it’s been 25 years since the first series aired, you’d be forgiven for forgetting how the series started and then developed.
Thankfully, viewers in the UK can now watch the show that premiered on NBC in 2001 for free, after all nine series were added to the streamer ITVX.
Enjoy the comedy of J.D. (Zach Braff), Turk (Donald Faison) and Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke) as the protagonists for eight seasons of medical mayhem.

Together, they start as medical interns at the hospital. Through the years we see them develop personally and professionally against a backdrop of hilarious plotlines and emotionally charged moments.
The ninth season still features the iconic cast, but the focus shifts to med school and its students in a move which wasn’t popular with the show’s following.
In a Reddit discussion titled ‘Why is season nine so hated?’, users posted their grievances.
Sal101 said: ‘Scrubs had a fantastic ending, better by far than every sitcom I’ve ever watched.
‘But they reversed so much character development and progression with the majority of the OG cast.’
Viewers like Kakashi168 admitted it would’ve been better if it was a spin-off. He said: ‘There’s not that big of a connection to the original show.’
Metfan722 defended it in part: ‘It’s definitely not as bad as people say but it’s not the Scrubs we had all known and loved for 8 seasons up to that point.’
Although the revival series will feature new talent, Scrubs veterans Aseem Batra and Tim Hobert will serve as showrunners and executive producers.
