Grey’s Anatomy Brings Back Fan Favorite for Season 20

A fan favorite is returning for Season 20 of Grey’s Anatomy. On Tuesday, Alex Landi, who plays Dr. Nico Kim, took to Instagram sharing a photo of himself in his trailer, in costume as Nico with the caption “SEASON 20 @greysabc.” The actor didn’t provide any additional context for the post so it’s unclear exactly how many episodes he will appear in. You can check out the post for yourself below.

Landi departed Grey’s Anatomy in Season 18 when Nico and Levi Schmitt (Jake Borelli) ended their relationship and Nico ended up taking a job with the Seattle Mariners and leaving Grey Sloan. It’s not clear exactly how Nico will return to Grey’s or what it could mean for the fan favorite “Schmico” relationship.

Ellen Pompeo Is Also Returning for Season 20

A recently released teaser for Season 20 of Grey’s Anatomy also showed the return of Ellen Pompeo as Meredith Grey.  Pompeo departed the long-running medical drama as a series regular after 19 seasons earlier this year but returned for the Season 19 finale. Now it appears she will also appear in the upcoming 20th season. In the teaser Bailey tells Meredith that the interns are in trouble. It doesn’t reveal much else about what to expect from the appearance, but certainly serves as a reminder for some of the major events of Season 19.

When Does Grey’s Anatomy Return For Season 20?

Grey’s Anatomy is scheduled to return for its 20th season on Thursday, March 14th at 9 p.m. ET. Season 19 ended earlier this year on a massive cliffhanger with the fate of Teddy Altman (Kim Raver) in jeopardy after Teddy collapsed just as she was about to open up a patient for emergency surgery. While what exactly happens to Teddy is likely to be revealed in the Season 20 premiere, shortly after the finale it was reported that Raver had signed on for another season of the series.

Grey’s Anatomy Is Coming to Disney+

It was recently announced that all 19 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy are headed to Disney+ in March. Beginning in Spring 2024, Hulu and Netflix are set to share the co-exclusive streaming rights for Grey’s Anatomy. It’s part of a new licensing deal between Disney Entertainment and Netflix. The arrival of Grey’s Anatomy will coincide with the official launch of Hulu on Disney+ with Hulu having not just the long-running drama’s previous 19 seasons available to stream, but will also have new, in-season episodes of Season 20 for streaming following their broadcast on ABC.
