We've already seen that one primary cast member didn't manage to survive the tragedy (you'll get no spoilers here!), but — in Maggie Pierce (Kelly McCreary) — another much-loved cast member from a previous series has returned... and she has some unexpected news for her colleagues.
Elsewhere, titular show legend Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) has also brought her hiatus to an end, which has left her and Dr. Teddy Altman (Kim Raver) jostling for position in their leadership roles. And Dr. Simone Griffith (Alexis Floyd) will see her professional and personal lives crossover on the arrival of a new patient.
In fact, it's been such a high-octane start to the latest run that it's now on hiatus after episode 6. Season 22 will return with episodes 7 on January 8, 2026.
