Grey’s Anatomy season 23 release date speculation and latest news

Grey’s Anatomy season 23 release date speculation and latest news

Grey’s Anatomy is continuing its reign as one of the most enduring TV shows of all time with season 23 already in the works. The season 22 finale saw the exit of longtime favourites Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) and Teddy Altman (Kim Raver), who sailed off into the sunset together to start a new life with the children they share in Paris. While their departure was confirmed earlier this year, it’ll undoubtedly be quite the loss to the series as we think ahead to the 23rd season. That being said, the finale did leave us on some cliffhangers, with plenty to look forward to. Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital is about to see some big changes, and potentially new faces, as the senior staffing team faces a reshuffle. But when will season 23 be on our screens? Here’s everything we know about the series so far… When is the Grey’s Anatomy season 23 release date? It’s currently unconfirmed when Grey’s Anatomy will be back on our screens – but it has maintained a steady, yearly release ever …

Grey’s Anatomy star responds to Harry Potter casting rumors

Get the latest entertainment news, reviews and star-studded interviews with our Independent Culture email Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter Grey’s Anatomy star Kevin McKidd has addressed speculation that he has been cast to play Arthur Weasley in HBO’s highly anticipated Harry Potter TV series. Rumors about McKidd’s potential casting recently surfaced when eagle-eyed fans noticed that Gracie Cochrane, the young actor set to play Ginny Weasley in the forthcoming adaptation, started following the Scottish actor on Instagram. Asked about the growing online chatter in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, McKidd, 52, who on Thursday departed the long-running medical drama after 18 years as Dr. Owen Hunt, answered coyly. “I saw something about this,” he said. “And listen, I would never say never. I’m a massive Harry Potter fan.” He revealed that years ago, when he was starring in the short-lived sci-fi series Journeymen, Harry Potter director David Yates sent him a letter, offering him a role in the final …

Dr. Owen Hunt Scrubs Out: Kevin McKidd on Nearly 20 Years of Playing a ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Antihero

Dr. Owen Hunt Scrubs Out: Kevin McKidd on Nearly 20 Years of Playing a ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Antihero

Any “jumping the shark” moments that were more lighthearted or far-fetched, like the musical episode in season seven, that you remember? That was such a trip. It was wild that we even got away with doing that episode. Tony Phelan directed the hell out of it, and it was really one of Sara Ramirez’s big moments on the show. When I had my song, I had to hit this note. Kate Walsh and Eric Dane and Patrick [Dempsey] were in the room and I had to sing the song, stop them arguing. They turned around, looked at me, couldn’t stop laughing. I had to sell this song while they’re all just cracking up. And I’m like, You guys are killing me. Dr. Mark Sloan, played by the late Eric Dane, is one of the characters featured as part of Owen’s montage of show moments. Do you have any favorite memories of working with him? Eric was just so brilliant in that character. He had such a deadpan charm to him that I just loved whenever …

After nearly two decades on ABC’s long-running medical drama, on-and-off couple Teddy and Owen bid an emotional farewell to Seattle Grace Hospital in Thursday’s season 22 finale. Unlike many characters whose time on the show ends tragically, however, the two are spared and move to Paris with their two children. “I feel like we gave them a beautiful ending,” Marinis told The Hollywood Reporter, adding that the “very difficult and painful conversations” about writing off Teddy and Owen began shortly after the New Year. Marinis revealed that the writers toyed with numerous storyline endings, including an “iconic Grey’s Anatomy death” for Owen, but ultimately decided against a definitive …

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Owen and Teddy Exits Explained as ‘Painful’ Decision

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Owen and Teddy Exits Explained as ‘Painful’ Decision

[This story contains major spoilers from the season 22 finale of Grey’s Anatomy.] Grey’s Anatomy fans were surprised when it was announced that longtime stars Kevin McKidd and Kim Raver would be leaving the show at the end of this season. In the season 22 finale that aired on Thursday night, the two actors who play Dr. Owen Hunt and Dr. Teddy Altman walked off the ABC set for their last time together, after their divorced characters reconciled and decided to make a new life with the children they share in Paris. Teddy and Owen were given a happy ending, and the reason they survived the often deadly and always dramatic medical drama is because showrunner Meg Marinis wanted to leave the door open for their return. The move to write off Owen and Teddy from Grey’s was a difficult one, sparked by a financial decision. “I feel like we gave them a beautiful ending,” Marinis tells The Hollywood Reporter of the actors who joined Grey’s in season five and season six, respectively. “Those are …

Grey’s Anatomy Cliffhanger Set Up Kevin McKidd, Kim Raver Finale Exits

Grey’s Anatomy Cliffhanger Set Up Kevin McKidd, Kim Raver Finale Exits

Grey’s Anatomy could send Owen and Teddy off with a happy ending — or not. ABC announced last month that veteran stars Kevin McKidd and Kim Raver would be exiting the long-running medical drama created by Shonda Rhimes in the upcoming May 7 season finale. The actors have played Owen and Teddy, respectively, since season five for McKidd and season six for Raver (she took five years off and later returned). Their co-departure is major news for the hit series, which has successfully navigated a changing industry and remains a hit in its 22nd season, but it also makes sense narratively. Their characters are intricately linked on the series as coparents who have had a long on-and-off relationship on the series. The doctors came onto the show as best friends. They eventually got married in season 18, only to split up recently, finalizing their divorce at the beginning of this season. The pair, who share two children, have been toying with reconciling of late, however, and have been sleeping together in recent episodes. Which brings …
