Grey’s Anatomy returns next month, and showrunner Meg Marinis teased a bit of what to expect from Season 21 of the ABC medical drama during the series’ 20th anniversary celebration at D23 on Saturday. “My favorite thing to do is to tie up our characters in the messiest knot possible in a finale, which I feel like we did pretty successfully,” she said. “We have doctors who do not have jobs, and we pick up pretty close to where we ended after the finale, and we’re gonna see how and if those doctors get their jobs back.” Marinis also suggested that Jason George’s Ben Warren will return to Grey Sloan quite swiftly, as the actor is rejoining the cast as a series regular following the cancellation of Station 19. “It’s not going to be a super easy journey for him, but we’re excited to have him back at around Grey Sloan,” she explained.

As always, the season will have “some fun relationship” moments, which kick off in the premiere, as well as “some very fun event medical, very Grey’s Anatomy, shocking moments,” Marinis said, assuring fans: “I think you’re gonna be happy.” #GreysAnatomy showrunner Meg Marinis teases what to expect with Season 21 on September 26 #D23 pic.twitter.com/cbXUh9ZpZn Marinis was joined by stars Chandra Wilson, James Pickens Jr., Caterina Scorsone, Jason George, Kim Raver, Camilla Luddington, and Kevin McKidd at the panel where they took a trip down memory lane, starting with the pilot — which both Wilson and Pickens Jr.
