Scrubs sets December 9 finale after two-week schedule break
Television listings indicate a December 2 return for the ABC comedy, with awards and holiday programming filling its Wednesday slot during the break.
ABC has confirmed that the second season of the Scrubs revival will conclude on December 9, with the finale scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. The comedy is set to pause for two weeks after its November 11 episode, leaving two installments before the season ends.
TheTVDB’s listings indicate that episode nine is expected on December 2 at 8 p.m. ET. Its title and plot details have not been announced. No new installments are currently listed on either November 18 or November 25.
During the break, ABC will carry the 60th annual CMA Awards, hosted by Lainey Wilson, on November 18. Mickey’s Christmas Carol will occupy the comedy’s usual 8 p.m. slot on November 25.
The finale, “My Wonderful Life,” has a Christmas storyline. According to ABC’s holiday programming announcement, J.D. and Dr. Cox, played by John C. McGinley, will tackle a difficult medical case together. Elliot will face a crowded emergency room and more holiday cheer than she expected.
The 10-episode season began September 30, with Zach Braff, Donald Faison and Sarah Chalke returning to Sacred Heart Hospital. Episodes stream on Hulu the day after their ABC broadcast and are also available through Hulu on Disney+ to eligible bundle subscribers.
