‘Scrubs’ Revival Season 2 Episode 3 Release Date, Time and Where to Watch J.D.’s Love Life

The ABC comedy has kicked off its new season with a premiere on Wednesday nights. Now, the ‘Scrubs’ revival is set to continue with its third episode, titled “My Ex’s Ex,” which focuses on J.D.’s romantic history. Fans eager to see how the hospital crew navigates love, work, and everything in between won’t have to wait long.

The wait between episodes is brief, and the details are straightforward. Here’s everything you need to know about the release date, airtime, streaming options, and what the official preview hints at for the next chapter of the ‘Scrubs’ revival.

The third episode, “My Ex’s Ex,” is set to premiere on October 7, 2026. Rotten Tomatoes confirms this date for the episode, marking it as the first installment to air independently following the premiere night.

The season kicked off with a double episode premiere on ABC on September 30, followed immediately by the second installment. Following this, the rest of the season is expected to follow a weekly release schedule, with one new episode airing each Wednesday.

This season consists of ten episodes, one more than the nine that comprised the first season. The anticipated schedule will carry the show through the holidays, culminating in a finale streaming on Hulu on Thanksgiving. This provides ample opportunity for fans to enjoy more of the series they love.

New episodes of ‘Scrubs’ air at 8 p.m. ET every Wednesday. They are broadcast on ABC, so viewers with a live antenna or cable subscription can watch. Be sure to mark your calendars for October 7 if you want to catch it live.

For those who prefer streaming, there’s a simple guideline to follow. Episodes become available on Hulu the Thursday after their initial airing on ABC. Therefore, “My Ex’s Ex” will be ready for streaming the day after its broadcast.

International viewers have their own options as well. The new season debuted on Disney+ in Australia on October 1, 2026, and can be accessed via the app or website with an active subscription. Availability may differ by region, so checking local streaming listings is advisable.

The official preview indicates that J.D. brings an old flame back into Elliot’s life while his new relationship develops. This setup promises plenty of awkward hallway encounters and classic J.D. daydreams, hinting at the love triangle dynamics that ‘Scrubs’ has always expertly balanced between humor and heart.

The preview also features Turk, who tries a new method to keep the spark alive at home. Given the show’s commitment to the friendship between J.D. and Turk, expect their storylines to intersect in amusing ways.

The episode follows a strong start, with the first two installments titled “My First Time in a While” and “My Mentee.” Dr. Cox is also back, continuing to navigate his medical challenges.

This season follows J.D. and Turk as they continue their work at Sacred Heart while adapting to the evolving landscape of modern medicine and a new generation of doctors. Created by Bill Lawrence, the series stars Zach Braff, Donald Faison, and Sarah Chalke, alongside Ava Bunn as Dr. Sam Tosh. The blend of beloved characters and new interns keeps the hospital lively.

The supporting cast is expanding as well. John Higgins has joined in a recurring role as Grant, the new Chief Resident who poses a challenge for J.D. Additionally, a character named Mimi arrives as Turk’s new surgical nurse, characterized as quirky, sassy, and fiercely loyal.

The revival has made significant strides in a short time. It premiered on ABC on February 25, 2026, following J.D. as he returns to Sacred Heart as its new Chief of Medicine. The show was renewed for a second season at the end of April. With J.D. about to introduce Elliot to an old flame while his own romance heats up, who do you think will regret “My Ex’s Ex” the most—Elliot, J.D., or Turk?
