Alex Landi, Freddy Miyares, and Natalie Morales are joining the illustrious cast of Grey's Anatomy, reuniting with the legendary actress who brought Dr. Arizona Robbins to life for ten captivating seasons from 2009 to 2018. Capshaw's return to reprise her iconic role in the upcoming milestone 20th season of the ABC medical drama is a treat for fans, promising new layers and emotional depth to the show.
Accompanying Capshaw in this exciting new chapter are familiar faces and franchise newcomers alike. Alex Landi returns to his role as Dr. Nico Kim, adding another layer of drama and complexity to the already rich tapestry of characters. Natalie Morales and Freddy Miyares join the cast as guest stars, injecting fresh energy and perspectives into the Shonda Rhimes-produced series.
The anticipation for this highly anticipated season is building, and fans are eagerly awaiting further announcements of additional guest stars. As the show inches closer to its delayed return on March 14th at 9 pm, excitement mounts for what's sure to be a thrilling and emotional ride.
Capshaw's departure from Grey's Anatomy in 2018 marked a significant turning point for the series, as her character Arizona Robbins relocated from Seattle to New York for the sake of her daughter Sofia. This move foreshadowed a potential reunion with her former partner Callie (portrayed by former series regular Sara Ramirez), leaving fans clamoring for more of the beloved "Calzona" couple.
Now, Capshaw's return to the fold promises to bring closure and new dimensions to Arizona's story, much like Sarah Drew's return did for her character April. Both actresses have since rejoined the Grey's Anatomy family, underscoring the series' commitment to providing satisfying endings for its most beloved characters.
Morales, who has previously starred in shows like Dead to Me and Self-Reliance, will bring her talent and charm to the role of Monica Beltran, a pediatric surgeon renowned for her pragmatism and excellence in her field. Her willingness to push boundaries, both admirable and aggravating, is always aimed at delivering top-notch care to her patients.
Miyares, whose credits include DMZ, Evil, When They See Us, and The L Word: Gen Q, joins the cast as a recurring guest star, portraying Dorian, an intelligent and likable patient who is involved in a serious accident and grappling with the uncertainty of his future.
Rounding out the creative team for this landmark season is new showrunner Meg Marinis, who takes over from Krista Vernoff. Marinis, a Grey's Anatomy veteran since its third season, has worked her way up the ranks, starting as a writer's production assistant and progressing to executive producer, a title she's held for the past four seasons. Her extensive knowledge of the show and its characters, coupled with her passion for storytelling, promise to elevate the 20th season of Grey's Anatomy to new heights of emotional depth and drama.
