‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Season 21 Teased as Cast Celebrates 20th Anniversary at D23

Grey’s Anatomy returns next month, and showrunner Meg Marinis teased a bit of what to expect from Season 21 of the ABC medical drama during the series’ 20th anniversary celebration at D23 on Saturday.

“My favorite thing to do is to tie up our characters in the messiest knot possible in a finale, which I feel like we did pretty successfully,” she said. “We have doctors who do not have jobs, and we pick up pretty close to where we ended after the finale, and we’re gonna see how and if those doctors get their jobs back.”

Marinis also suggested that Jason George’s Ben Warren will return to Grey Sloan quite swiftly, as the actor is rejoining the cast as a series regular following the cancellation of Station 19.

“It’s not going to be a super easy journey for him, but we’re excited to have him back at around Grey Sloan,” she explained.

As always, the season will have “some fun relationship” moments, which kick off in the premiere, as well as “some very fun event medical, very Grey’s Anatomy, shocking moments,” Marinis said, assuring fans: “I think you’re gonna be happy.”

Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 premieres September 26 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
