The much-anticipated 22nd season of Grey’s Anatomy is just around the corner, set to air on ABC and Disney Plus.
In a shocking twist at the end of the last season, Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital was caught in a potentially fatal explosion, leaving fans anxious about the fate of their favourite characters.
Showrunner Meg Marinis confessed there were some heated debates about the aftermath of the explosion, stating: “I knew what I thought initially [about the outcome of the explosion], but I wanted to wait until my writers were back, so that people could also fight and argue with me.”
She added: “And so some things changed, some didn’t [in regards to how it pans out]. But I want to give everyone a chance to fight for what happens to specific characters,” during an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming season, including the release date, cast, and more.
