ABC has decided whether medical drama 'Grey's Anatomy' is coming back for season 23 after multiple shocking cast exits
ABC has decided whether Grey's Anatomy is coming back for season 23 after multiple shocking cast exits. Variety confirmed on Monday, March 30, that the hit medical drama has been renewed. The news came less than a week after both Kevin McKidd and Kim Raver announced they were leaving the show.
'Grey’s Anatomy has been a huge chapter of my life, creatively and personally, and I’m deeply grateful for everything the show has given me over the years,' McKidd, 53, said in a statement on Wednesday, March 25. 'Playing Dr. Owen Hunt and directing on the show have both shaped me enormously, and I’ve had the privilege of working with an extraordinary group of people throughout that time. I’m particularly thankful to Shonda Rhimes for creating Owen, and for the encouragement she gave me as I stepped into directing.' He continued: 'As that chapter comes to a close, I’m looking forward to what’s ahead — building new work, telling new stories and taking everything I’ve learned into the next phase of my career.''Playing Dr. Teddy Altman will always hold a dear and special place in my heart. Sixteen years ago, I had the incredible privilege of stepping into this role thanks to the vision of Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers,' she wrote in her own statement. 'Since that day, it has been a true gift to bring the iconic words of Shonda and our brilliant team of writers to life. ... To the fans — your unwavering devotion and support are the reason this show remains such a force. Thank you for making this set my place of magic and my home.''Over the years, we have had the privilege of watching Owen and Teddy’s love story evolve and deepen — two characters who always seem to find their way back to each other. It is both bittersweet and joyful to give this couple the happy ending their story deserves,' she teased in her own statement. 'Kevin and Kim bring extraordinary talent, nuance and heart to their roles as Owen and Teddy. Their contributions leave an indelible mark on Grey’s Anatomy, both in front of and behind the camera. I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them both and to see them shine.' She concluded: 'While we will all miss seeing them in the halls of Grey Sloan Memorial each day, I am excited to witness where Kim’s and Kevin’s journeys will take them in the future.' Deadline reported that McKidd and Raver were informed more than a month ago that they would be leaving Grey’s Anatomy. Their last episode will be the season 22 finale, which just wrapped production and is set to air May 7.
