We're now almost half-way through the first season of the Scrubs revival, which has reunited beloved characters JD (Zach Braff), Turk (Donald Faison) and Elliot (Sarah Chalke), and won viewers' hearts all over again.

Thankfully, it seems this may not be the last time we return to Sacred Heart Hospital, as creator Bill Lawrence has said that he is "really hopeful" the revival will get a season 2, after its premiere episode saw strong viewership figures.

So far, the new season has already included a few genuine surprises, such as JD and Elliot's divorce which was revealed in episode 1.

In addition to developing its new and returning characters, Scrubs is also reflecting recent developments in medicine, perhaps in an effort to hold onto its regularly cited title of TV's most accurate depiction of the profession.

If you can't get enough of this nostalgic revival, read on for everything you need to know about the Scrubs season 10 release schedule – including when to expect episode 5.

When will episode 5 of Scrubs season 10 be released?

Scrubs season 10 is working to a weekly release schedule, which means that episode 5 will be released on Wednesday 18 March on ABC/Hulu in the US and Thursday 19 March on Disney+ in the UK.

The high-profile revival launched worldwide with a double-bill in late February. Check out our Scrubs season 10 review for a detailed verdict on whether it's worth watching.

There are a total of nine episodes in Scrubs season 10.

That's quite a bit shorter than the show's earliest seasons – so here's hoping more seasons are on their way.
