‘SNL’ Alum John Higgins Joins ‘Scrubs’ For Major Role In Season 2 Of ABC Revival

Deadline and IMDb report that SNL alum John Higgins has been cast in a major role, specifically tasked with playing a new adversary for the character J.D. Additionally, Parade identifies Higgins' character as the production’s new chief resident, while Deadline confirms that Keyla Monterroso Mejia has also joined the ensemble to portray a new nurse. Interest in the series has intensified alongside these casting announcements.

Comic Book Resources notes that the original medical sitcom is currently performing as one of the most-watched titles on PVOD platforms. The timing of this activity aligns with ongoing audience discourse regarding ABC casting choices, which recently included speculation from Yahoo regarding the potential return of Scott Foley to network projects. While these reports establish the new additions to the medical facility, the current coverage does not yet specify the full scope of the season two script or the narrative arc for these new arrivals.

Industry discourse remains focused on the integration of these new figures into the established ensemble. While the roles of chief resident and nurse are documented, information regarding how these characters interact with the returning cast is limited. Details concerning the production schedule or the specific premiere window for season two are not confirmed.
