“I’m back, baby!” Dr. J.D. Dorian (Zach Braff) screams in the first teaser of the new scrubs series. The reboot comes 15 years after JD says goodbye to Sacred Heart to take a new job as residency director to be closer to his son. The show released a teaser on its Instagram account on Tuesday, which also features OG stars Donald Faison and Sarah Chalke. You can see it below.

According to the official logline, it will follow JD Dorian (Braff) and Christopher Turk (Faison), who work together for the first time in a long time – medicine has changed, the interns have changed, but their bromance has stood the test of time. Characters new and old travel the waters of the Sacred Heart with laughter, heart, and a few surprises along the way.
