Grey's Anatomy, one of the most beloved and critically acclaimed television shows of our time, has confirmed the episode count for star Ellen Pompeo in its highly anticipated twentieth season. Pompeo has been an integral part of the show as the lead star, narrator, and executive producer, becoming synonymous with the role of Meredith Grey.
In season 20, however, Pompeo will be taking a step back from her iconic role as Meredith to explore other projects and roles. One of these projects is a new limited series for Hulu tentatively titled 'Orphan,' which promises to captivate audiences with its horror movie vibes.
Fans of Grey's Anatomy need not worry, as Pompeo will still make appearances in at least four episodes of the upcoming season. There's even a possibility that she might bless us with her presence in more episodes, as the season will consist of fewer episodes due to the impact of strikes on filming in Hollywood.
Even though Pompeo will have a recurring guest role, her character's love life will still take center stage in Grey's Anatomy season 20. In a thrilling trailer for the new season, we catch a glimpse of Nick Marsh (played by Scott Speedman) expressing his desire to spend his life with Meredith, revealing a potential new romance that has viewers on the edge of their seats.
The milestone twentieth season of Grey's Anatomy will also see the return of some familiar faces. Jessica Capshaw will reprise her beloved role as Dr. Arizona Robbins, making her first appearance since her departure in season 14. In addition, Alex Landi will be back as Dr. Nico Kim, adding to the excitement surrounding the upcoming season.
Joining the ensemble cast are two newcomers: Natalie Morales from 'Parks and Recreation,' and Freddy Miyares from 'When They See Us.' With their talent and fresh perspectives, they are sure to add new layers to the already captivating world of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
Behind the scenes, there have been changes as Krista Vernoff, the previous showrunner, has stepped down at the end of season 19. Taking over the reins is Meg Marinis, a long-time producer and writer for the show. With her expertise and dedication, fans can expect the same level of excellence we've come to love from Grey's Anatomy.
Despite these shifts in cast and crew, Grey's Anatomy remains focused on keeping Meredith Grey's character alive in the series. Even though Meredith has moved to Boston for her daughter's education, she won't be completely absent from the show. Her presence will continue to be felt, and her impact on the lives of the other characters will undoubtedly continue to shape the narrative.
Get ready to be on the edge of your seat once again as Grey's Anatomy season 20 premieres Thursday, March 14 at 9 PM ET on ABC. With its unparalleled mix of intense medical drama, complex relationships, and heart-wrenching moments, this iconic show continues to redefine what it means to captivate audiences season after season.
