Grey's Anatomy Season 22: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on July 11, 2025, 20:10 IST Okay, Grey's Anatomy fans, let's talk about Season 22! After that gut-punch of a Season 21 finale, I'm dying to know what's next for our favorite doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial. The rumor mill is churning, the cast is shifting, and the drama is about to hit fever pitch. So, grab a coffee (or a tissue—you know how this show gets), and let's unpack everything we know about the release date, who's in the cast, and what crazy twists are coming in Season 22. Grey's Anatomy Season 22 Release Date Rumours ABC's already given the green light for Grey's Anatomy Season 22, and it's set to land in fall 2025. They're keeping their Thursday night tradition alive, slotting it at 10/9c after 9-1-1 and the shiny new 9-1-1: Nashville spinoff. No exact premiere date yet, but if we had to guess, we're probably looking at late September or early October 2025. Grey's Anatomy Season 22 Cast Updates The Grey's Anatomy cast is like a revolving door of familiar faces and new blood, and Season 22 is no exception. The Season 21 finale left us gasping with that hospital explosion, so let's break down who's likely returning. Ellen Pompeo as Meredith Grey Chandra Wilson (Miranda Bailey) and James Pickens Jr. (Richard Webber) The Main Squad : Kevin McKidd (Owen Hunt), Kim Raver (Teddy Altman), Camilla Luddington (Jo Wilson), Caterina Scorsone (Amelia Shepherd), Chris Carmack (Link Lincoln), Anthony Hill (Winston Ndugu), Alexis Floyd (Simone Griffith), Harry Shum Jr. (Benson Kwan), Adelaide Kane (Jules Millin), and Niko Terho (Lucas Adams) are all set to return. Phew, that's a lot of familiar faces! : Kevin McKidd (Owen Hunt), Kim Raver (Teddy Altman), Camilla Luddington (Jo Wilson), Caterina Scorsone (Amelia Shepherd), Chris Carmack (Link Lincoln), Anthony Hill (Winston Ndugu), Alexis Floyd (Simone Griffith), Harry Shum Jr. (Benson Kwan), Adelaide Kane (Jules Millin), and Niko Terho (Lucas Adams) are all set to return. Phew, that's a lot of familiar faces! Jason George (Ben Warren) Trevor Jackson What's Next for Grey Sloan? Storylines to Expect The Season 21 finale was pure Grey's Anatomy chaos—an explosion caused by a flammable tank during a hostage crisis. Season 22 will pick up right where we left off, dealing with the aftermath. Here's what's on the horizon: The Explosion's Aftermath That blast is going to shake things up big time. Will everyone survive? Link and Jo were expecting twins, so any injury to Link could hit hard. The writers love throwing curveballs, so expect some emotional rescues and tough medical calls to kick off the season. Meredith's Big Fight Meredith's decision to leak her Alzheimer's research against Catherine Fox's orders is a game-changer. With Catherine possibly facing a cancer diagnosis (those liver lesions!), this storyline could get messy. Will Meredith face consequences, or will she save the day? Romance and Drama Trevor Jackson's character is trouble for Lucas and Simone's romance. That one-night stand with Simone? Yeah, it's not over. Jo's pregnancy and her marriage to Link are at a turning point, especially with the explosion threatening their future. Look out for smaller arcs, like Molly and Kwan's new spark or Teddy and Owen navigating their rocky marriage. Medical Mayhem Grey's always delivers jaw-dropping medical cases, and Season 22 will be no different. From rare surgeries to ethical dilemmas, the show keeps us hooked with stories that feel real and raw. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

America is moving backward on climate. Here's how Hollywood can help
An unprecedented heat wave is baking Seattle, and Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital is overwhelmed. Doctors scramble to treat people with heat stroke and pregnant women going into early labor due to triple-digit temperatures. The emergency room runs out of ice. Elective surgeries are canceled. Grey Sloan is so inundated — partly due to power outages at another hospital — that it's forced to turn away patients. In one scene — because this is all happening on the latest season of 'Grey's Anatomy' — several doctors operate on a young man who tried to rob a convenience store, only to wind up shot with his own gun during a scuffle. 'We should invite the lawmakers voting against background checks to assist,' says Teddy Altman (Kim Raver), the hospital's chief of surgery. 'Well, violent crime rises along with the temperature,' responds intern Jules Millin (Adelaide Kane). Fact check: Accurate. There's real research linking gun violence to above-average temperatures. There was also a real heat dome that inspired the writers of 'Grey's Anatomy.' Portland hit a record 116 degrees in 2021; between the U.S. and Canada, 1,400 people died. Global warming made it worse, researchers found. If President Trump and other politicians keep doing the oil and gas industry's bidding, the climate crisis will only get deadlier. But Hollywood can play a leading role in turning the tide. Not by preaching. By entertaining. I'd never seen 'Grey's Anatomy' before watching the heat wave episodes; soap operas aren't really my thing. But the long-running ABC drama got me invested right away. The characters are sympathetic, the dialogue sharp and funny, the medical plotlines rife with tension. And I was impressed by how the writers kept the heat front of mind: a coffee cart running out of cold drinks, patients fanning themselves, several references to cooling centers. In one of the final scenes of the two-episode arc, which concluded in March, surgical resident Ben Warren (Jason George) says the hospital needs an emergency plan for heat domes. It isn't prepared for wildfires, either. 'They're only increasing with climate change,' he says. Some of you may be thinking: Who cares about a bunch of fake doctors running around a fake hospital? We have real climate problems in the real world. Trump and congressional Republicans are eviscerating clean air rules and revoking clean energy grants. Let's focus on politics and policy, not pop culture. Thing is, people don't form opinions in a vacuum. The media we consume inform our politics — fiction included. Studies have shown, for instance, that the sitcom 'Will & Grace' reduced prejudice against gay men, and that on-screen violence can increase the risk of violent behavior. Researchers found that a scene from HBO's 'Sex and the City' reboot 'And Just Like That ...' made viewers more likely to say eating less meat is good for the environment. Millions of people watch 'Grey's Anatomy.' The impact is clear to producer Zoanne Clack, an emergency medicine physician who spoke at the Hollywood Climate Summit this month. 'In the ER, I could tell two people about diabetes. They might tell two people, and they might tell two people,' she said. 'But I do a story on [diabetes] on 'Grey's Anatomy,' and 20 million people have seen it.' 'And if 10% of those people get something out of it, that's a lot of people,' she added. Already, researchers are studying viewer responses to the heat dome storyline. The conservation nonprofit Rare surveyed 3,600 people, showing some participants the first heat episode and others an unrelated episode. Although the study isn't done yet, Anirudh Tiwathia, Rare's director of behavioral science for entertainment, told me it's clear that viewers came away from the heat episode more concerned and better-informed about extreme heat. The nonprofit is still testing whether those effects persisted several weeks after watching. Rare also showed some viewers the heat dome episode plus a social media video reiterating the health dangers of extreme heat. Those viewers may come away even more informed. Rare released a study last year finding that people who watched 'Don't Look Up' — a disaster movie with intentional climate parallels — were far more likely to support climate action if they also watched a climate-focused video starring lead actor Leonardo DiCaprio. 'People see stuff on screen, and then they see stuff on the second screen,' Tiwathia said, referring to phones and laptops. 'The second screen is an opportunity to really pick up the baton from the main narrative.' The videos used by Rare for its 'Grey's Anatomy' study were commissioned by Action for the Climate Emergency, which paid social media influencers to create 21 videos tied to the show. Rare chose four videos, including one by a gardener with 234,000 Instagram followers and one by an artist with 2 million followers. A survey by Action for the Climate Emergency found that social media users who saw the videos were more likely than typical 'Grey's Anatomy' viewers to understand the links between heat, health and global warming. 'It's an opportunity for us to reach outside the echo chamber,' said Leah Qusba, the group's chief executive. Fortunately, there's a small-but-growing ecosystem within Hollywood that's increasingly able to support this kind of partnership. A few major studios have started teams to advise creatives on climate storytelling. Environmental groups, consulting firms and universities have stepped up to provide expertise and research. The 'Grey's Anatomy' heat dome storyline might not have happened except for Adam Umhoefer, an executive at the CAA Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Creative Artists Agency, one of Hollywood's top talent agencies. He co-founded Green Screen, an effort to connect CAA clients and others in the industry to sustainability experts. 'The idea is that I'm kind of operating as an agent for climate,' Umhoefer told me. When Umhoefer heard from a friend in the 'Grey's Anatomy' writers' room that the writers were looking to tell a climate story — after ending Season 20 with a massive wildfire — he connected them with the Natural Resources Defense Council, whose Rewrite the Future initiative consults with studios to improve climate storytelling. 'We were very interested in continuing that [fire] story, and the effect on the community of Seattle,' showrunner Meg Marinis said at the Hollywood Climate Summit. 'We just didn't want to pretend that never existed.' To foreshadow the heat dome, they started the season with climate protesters blocking a bridge, causing several characters to get stuck in traffic. One of them, Link (Chris Carmack), scolds his partner Jo (Camilla Luddington) for getting annoyed, since the protesters are fighting for a worthy cause. Tick populations are exploding, he reminds her, increasing the risk of Lyme disease. And the last 10 years have been the 10 hottest on record globally. 'When Camilla and Chris Carmack were in that car, it was like 95 degrees near Long Beach. ... They were putting ice packs on their heads in between takes,' Marinis said. 'It was all very relatable. We were all living through it.' Lived experience aside, it's hard to know how much appetite entertainment executives will have for more climate stories while Trump is in office. He's flouted democratic norms by threatening and even pursuing lawsuits against media companies that irk him, including Paramount, Comcast and the Walt Disney Co., which owns ABC. But the fossil fuel industry won't stop winning the culture wars, and thus the political wars, until a much broader segment of the American public demands climate solutions, now. Hollywood can help make it happen. The folks behind 'Grey's Anatomy,' at least, say they aren't planning to back down. Stay tuned.

Grey's Anatomy's Hot New Doc: Did Your First Impression Leave You Wanting Seconds?
Before the Season 21 finale of Grey's Anatomy revealed that Trevor Jackson had been cast as a new surgical intern, his character was already playing doctor with Simone. Are we happy about that? No of us can say that the grown-ish vet didn't make a memorable first impression. In Season 21's penultimate episode, his on-screen counterpart ran into Simone at Joe's Bar right after her break-up with Lucas. Noting that she was dressed up — she'd been going to Jo and Link's wedding — the newbie remarked that he'd been told that Seattle was a jeans-and-T-shirt kinda town. When she explained that she'd had other plans, he replied, 'Then I'm sorry, but I'm not.'

But was she? 'You're doing the most right now,' Simone cracked. 'I don't think you hate it,' he replied, flashing a $1M smile. (See above.) Right he was, too, because the next thing we knew, the two of them were getting hot and also heavy. Not until Lucas had apologized to Simone and assured her that they could work through their issues did she — or we — spot Jackson among Grey Sloan's new crop of first-years. 'At least you know I'm good,' he joked. As far as we can see, it's so far, so good for Jackson's as-yet-unnamed character. The actor has charm to spare, chemistry with leading lady Alexis Floyd and has given his alter ego a cocksure swagger that neatly straddles the line between confident and obnoxious. What's your take?

Say It Ain't So, Jo: Grey's Anatomy Wouldn't Really Make Link's Bride a Widow… Would It?
Grey's Anatomy can't, right? It can't kill off Link the episode after he tied the knot with his BFF and true love, Jo. He'd just found out that the twins that they're expecting are girls. They'd just 'honeymooned' in a Grey Sloan supply closet. They'd finally begun their happy ending. Oh my God, the long-running ABC drama is going to send Link to the morgue, isn't it? What could be more Grey's Anatomy than that! This is, after all, the show that wrecked us with George's demise, then smacked us with Mark's death while we were still in mourning for Lexie.

'Grey's Anatomy 'season 21 ending explained: Is Meredith returning to Grey Sloan for good?
Grey's Anatomy's season 21 finale saw Meredith Grey return to Grey Sloan just in time for a hostage situation. The finale also shook up several core romances, including Owen and Teddy's marriage. It ends with a shocking event that's sure to carry over into season This article contains spoilers for season 21, episode 18, "How Do I Live?" Grey's Anatomy can't stop, won't stop. Shonda Rhimes' spicy medical soap wrapped its 21st season tonight with the requisite drama we've come to expect from a Grey's finale, pairing steamy backroom trysts with surgical breakthroughs, a hostage situation, and Chekhov's tank of acetylene. The episode sets the stage with Bailey (Chandra Wilson) congratulating the season's interns, including Simone (Alexis Floyd), Adams (Niko Terho), Kwan (Harry Shum Jr.), and Jules (Adelaide Kane), for finishing their first year. Soon, they'll be sporting their own white coats and bossing around a new batch of interns. We're also quickly swept up in a trio of life-and-death cases, each with their own accompanying baggage. One involves Nora (Floriana Lima), who recently told Owen (Kevin McKidd) she loves him, much to the dismay of Owen's wife, Teddy (Kim Raver). Saving Nora requires building her a new aorta and a stapling procedure that goes against everything Teddy knows about heart surgery. Also not easy? Operating on the woman having an affair with your husband. Another involves Ben (Jason George), who finds his attempts to save a patient with a severe liver injury thwarted, resulting in him breaking the rules. Yes, again. But the finale's most dramatic case brings back Dylan Gatlin, the 9-year-old with a brain condition we met a few episodes ago, along with her mother, Jenna (Piper Perabo). Dylan's first surgery didn't go as planned, and Jenna grows so desperate that she wheels in a tank of acetylene and threatens to blow up the hospital if Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) doesn't immediately operate on her daughter. How does it all play out? Do we see Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) in the flesh? And does that tank of acetylene go boom? We unpack it all in our Grey's Anatomy season 21 ending explainer. While Pompeo's Meredith has narrated the entirety of season 21, she's only made a handful of in-person appearances at Grey Sloan. She returns in the finale, however, to meet with Catherine (Debbie Allen) about selling her shares in the hospital to help fund her Alzheimer's research. Her presence rankles Webber (James Pickens Jr.), who resents Meredith for the business and talent she cost the hospital by leaving. Yes. With the help of Winston (Anthony Hill), Teddy successfully performs the risky stapling procedure and saves Nora's life. It's an emotional procedure for Teddy, who witnessed the intimacy her husband, Owen, shares with Nora. She knows Nora told Owen she loves him, and Teddy wants to know if Owen feels the same. But he won't give her a straight answer. Related: 16 stars you forgot were on Grey's Anatomy before their big break (including future Oscar nominees) Before she goes into the OR, Nora tearfully tells Owen that, should she survive the procedure, she understands if he can't be with her. In case she doesn't make it, she asks him to look after her mother, who she says doesn't have anyone else. Owen assures her she'll make it out alive. When the "moment of truth" arrives during the surgery, Teddy is hesitant. "The moment that we staple her aorta, the pressure from her heart could blow the staple line and she'll die," she says to Winston, who tells her that they can't stop now. A compromise is reached when they decide to lower Nora's blood pressure to help relieve pressure. The gamble pays off, and Nora survives. "You changed what was possible today," Owen tells Teddy in the aftermath. "You changed medicine." "And yet I still lose," replies Teddy, heartbroken by his betrayal. By episode's end, Owen and Teddy appear to have broken up. This is despite Owen telling Teddy in the aftermath of Nora's surgery that, while he has feelings for Nora, he still wants to be with her. "You are the mother of our children, and you are my best friend." But it's too late for Teddy, who says she can no longer be with him. "You're giving up on us?" he asks. "I'm choosing me," she replies. Jenna grows hysterical and desperate after being told that Dylan's first surgery didn't go as planned and that the doctors want to wait and see if she recovers before attempting another procedure. She wheels a tank of acetylene, stolen from the truck of her contractor husband, into the OR and orders Amelia and Adams to operate on Dylan again immediately. "If you don't save her," she warns, "I'm taking everyone down with me." They begin the operation, and Beltran (Natalie Morales) is able to glimpse the threat through the observation window. She lets Catherine, Webber, and Meredith know, and they immediately call in law enforcement. The cops want to send in a SWAT team ASAP, but Meredith advises against it, saying they could imperil Dylan's life and they should allow Amelia to complete the surgery. "It's Amelia, she can do it," Meredith assures them. Yes, Amelia successfully reduces the swelling and stops the bleeding in Dylan's brain. It's not easy, though, what with Jenna refusing to allow any neuromonitoring or imaging teams in the room. Things begin to look dicey once Dylan starts bleeding again and they can't stop it. That's when Meredith bursts in with a bag of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) that will help alleviate clotting. With the plasma, Amelia is able to stop the bleeding and save Dylan. Jenna, who's been beating herself up for not keeping her daughter safe, is grateful. Before being arrested, she reveals that the tank had been empty the whole time. Ben returned to Grey's in season 21 after previously leaving his surgical residency to become a firefighter (and Station 19 member). Unfortunately, it hasn't gone very well for him. Earlier this season, he defied Teddy by keeping the emergency department open during a heatwave, and now that decision is coming back to bite him. Bailey, his wife and coworker, tells him that Teddy wants him gone, and that this could very well be his last day. His penchant for rule-breaking continues in this episode. Since the hostage situation keeps him and his patient out of an OR, he decides to operate on him in the ICU. Bailey is furious, but, knowing that he's got nothing to lose, decides to lend him a hand. After successfully completing the operation, the pair commiserates outside the hospital. "I should've stood up for you more and protected you," she says. Ben tells her it's not her fault. "I stand by my choices to save lives, every time," he replies. Bailey tells him they'll find "somewhere better for him." Jo (Camilla Luddington) and Link (Chris Carmack) spend most of the episode unaware there's a hostage situation, as the newlyweds embark on a romantic hook-up in a storage room. They treat this pocket of bliss as if it's their honeymoon. They seem very happy together. Allen must've gotten through to Pompeo, because it sure looks like it. After helping Amelia with the plasma, Meredith is reminded of how much she misses the OR. So she makes a deal with Catherine — she'll continue her Alzheimer's research during the year, but return to Grey Sloan during the summers to work as a general surgeon. Catherine agrees, and Webber is pleased. He tells her he's always envisioned her and Bailey "at the helm" of the hospital once he retires. "You and your work will always have a home here," he says. Still, time will tell how much on-screen action Pompeo gets going forward. A few. Jules confronts Winston about why she hasn't been on his service. He admits it's due to the romantic tension between them. "We're spending a lot of time together, and lines were getting blurry, right? Did you not feel that?" Related: The 10 best medical shows ever She replies that the lines were very clear to her, and feels he's denying her opportunities. When he encourages her to work with another cardiac surgeon, she retorts, "But you're the best one." Simone and Adams, meanwhile, reconnect with a passionate kiss after drifting apart. Being at the center of the hostage situation together made him realize that he never wants to be without her. Very lovely, but there is a complication. In the final scenes, we briefly catch a glimpse of the new interns — and one is a guy she just hooked up with. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Jenna said the tank of acetylene was empty. The cops, too, said it was empty upon finding it. But Jenna's husband says he never keeps empty tanks in his truck. "Did Jenna ever open the valve?" he asks. Looking back, she sure did. Uh-oh. Adams sprints to the OR to warn that the (very flammable) gas is in the air. But he's too late. From outside the hospital, we see an explosion of flames and lots of shattered glass. How bad was the explosion? Who was hurt? That's a question for next season.
