Further extending its reign as TV’s longest-running medical drama in primetime, Grey’s Anatomy season 20 marks a continued renaissance for the show.
When Ellen Pompeo’s Dr. Meredith Grey left Seattle in season 19, fans were wondering how the show could continue. After all, Meredith was the last surviving original intern at Grey Sloan Memorial, and the show is literally called Grey’s Anatomy. However, the series found its footing with fans by introducing a whole new crop of interns, in many ways, placing their lives at the forefront of the drama.
So what happens next in the show’s historic run? Here’s everything we know about Grey’s Anatomy season 20.
Grey’s Anatomy season 20 release date
We still don’t have a release date for the new season. However, with the writers’ strike over, we do know according to Deadline that the Grey’s Anatomy writers’ room is open. Now, all eyes are on the actors’ strike currently waging on as actors seek another labor agreement.
In the meantime, we suggest taking a look at NBC’s medical drama Transplant season 3, which debuts on October 5. New episodes of the series become available to stream the day after they air on Peacock.
Grey’s Anatomy season 20 cast
To date, there have been no announcements made as to season 20 castings. So for now, we anticipate the season 19 cast is returning, sans Ellen Pompeo and Kelly McCreary who both parted ways with the show.
With that being said, we expect series originals Chandra Wilson and James Pickens Jr. to return as Dr. Miranda Bailey and Dr. Richard Webber respectively. Wilson has often appeared in Station 19 since the spinoff’s very beginning and has also been spotted in General Hospital and Frankie & Alice. Pickens Jr. has been featured in The Conners and The X-Files.
Rounding out the rest of the cast are the following:
Kevin McKidd (Brave) as Dr. Owen Hunt
Kim Raver (24) as Dr. Teddy Altman
Camilla Luddington (True Blood) as Dr. Jo Wilson
Caterina Scorsone (Private Practice) as Dr. Amelia Shepherd
Chris Carmack (Nashville) as Dr. Atticus Lincoln
Jake Borelli (The Thing about Harry) as Dr. Levi Schmitt
Anthony Hill (This Is Us) as Dr. Winston Ndugu
Adelaide Kane (Once Upon a Time) as Dr. Jules Millin
Harry Shum Jr. (Glee) as Dr. Benson Kwan
Alexis Floyd (Inventing Anna) as Dr. Simone Griffith
Niko Terho (The Thing About Harry) as Dr. Lucas Adams
Midori Francis (Good Boys) as Dr. Mika Yasuda
Scott Speedman (Animal Kingdom) as Dr. Nick Marsh
Grey’s Anatomy season 20 plot
It’s a bit too early to know specific plot points for season 20. However, at the heart of the show is a medical drama that follows both the professional and personal lives of doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial, a hospital portrayed in Seattle, Washington.
As previously mentioned, season 19 started to place a lot of focus on the new crop of interns. It’s expected this pivot to follow the fresh blood of the show will continue in the forthcoming episodes.
Once more news about the storylines for season 20 become available, we’ll pass along the updates.
