Scrubs Star Zach Braff Joins Cheaper By The Dozen Remake At Disney+

Disney is rebooting Cheaper by the Dozen, and now the family comedy-drama has added another big name to its cast. It has been confirmed that Scrubs and Garden State star Zach Braff is joining Gabrielle Union in the remake from Black-ish creative/producer Kenya Barris.

This is a Disney+ movie and it's on the books to release in 2022.

The Cheaper by the Dozen remake focuses on a multiracial family of 12. Braff is lined up to play the father, with Union portraying the mother.

Braff confirmed the casting on Instagram, where he wrote, "I dreamt I married Gabrielle Union and had 12 kids. It came true!!!!"

The Cheaper by the Dozen franchise dates back to 1950, but it was revitalized in 2003 with a new film that starred Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt as the parents of the gigantic family. A sequel was released in 2005, with Martin and Hunt coming back. The original film's director, Shawn Levy, is attached as a producer on the Disney+ film.

The two Cheaper by the Dozen films released in theatres combined to make more than $320 million at the global box office. The third film will be measured differently, however, as it's a streaming film for Disney+.
