Scrubs Season 2 Confirms Kastl, Foley Returns; Jenkins Absence Cited Due to Age
The ABC revival of 'Scrubs' is set to premiere its second season on September 30 with a two-episode launch. Executive producer Aseem Batra confirmed that Johnny Kastl will return as Dr. Doug Murphy in his first acting role since 2009, while Scott Foley will reprise his role as Sean Kelly. Conversely, Ken Jenkins will not return as Dr. Kelso due to health and age concerns, a decision supported by Zach Braff. The season features a compact 10-episode run, with Batra noting that storylines must be condensed compared to the original series' longer seasons.
