Grey’s Anatomy wrapped its 19th season on Thursday night, and it’s been revealed that several veteran cast members have signed new contracts to return for season 20.
James Pickens Jr., Chandra Wilson, Kevin McKidd, Kim Raver, Camilla Luddington, and Caterina Scorsone have all signed contracts and will be back for 2023-24.
Season 19 saw the arrival of a new group of interns, played by Harry Shum Jr., Adelaide Kane, Alexis Floyd, Niko Terho, and Midori Francis. Their contracts have not been finalized but all are expected to return for season 20.
The return of at least one of the veteran cast members was in question at the end of the finale with [SPOILER ALERT] Teddy (Raver) collapsing during surgery, and her husband Owen (McKidd), trying to revive her.
It is not clear if or when viewers will see executive producer and former star Ellen Pompeo return next season. Pompeo’s Meredith Grey appeared in the season 19 finale sharing a big discovery about her new research into Alzheimer’s. Per Deadline, Pompeo is welcome to return to the ABC series onscreen anytime. She will continue to narrate the series.
For the first time since 2005, Grey’s isn’t on ABC’s fall schedule. Due to the ongoing writers strike, the network has filled its timeslots with game shows and reality programming. Depending on when the strike ends, those plans could change but, for now, Grey’s doesn’t have a spot on the schedule.
What do you think? Are you excited to see season 20 of Grey’s Anatomy, whenever it debuts?
Same old, same old. Please do not bring Meridith back – nobody cares what she does and who she is or isn’t in love with. New blood please.
I think Grey’s Anatomy has a few seasons remaining, as its crossover Station 19.
If you don’t like the storylines speak up.
If you still love the show, offer up your support.
I am looking forward to the next season.
Did you know songwriters actually don’t get paid for their songs?
So I support the scriptwriters striking.
Done with Grays , been on too long
Are there any writers involved anymore, it feels like someone just threw all their toys in the air and said lets adlib and see what happens…. Its long due that this show is put out to pasture, the new people are lacklustre at best, and the old are just that, old and completely lacking in anything new to tell. Ellen doing a runner should have been its demise, but hey, in a vacuum of ideas that is modern hollywood i guess flogging any old dead horse, or attempting to resus a long dead horse is all we will get.
