Ellen Pompeo in Grey's Anatomy Season 21.
Meredith Grey has always been the lynchpin of ABC’s long-running medical drama, Grey’s Anatomy, even if her screen time was reduced in Season 20. But while it seemed that Pompeo was stepping away to pursue other projects last season, the new showrunner for the series told The Hollywood Reporter that the esteemed actor would be featured in more episodes in Season 21. Meg Marinis took over leadership of the show when she accepted the reins from former showrunner Krista Vernoff in Season 20.
Pompeo scaled back her role in Season 20, partly because of other projects. She is slated to appear in Hulu’s limited series based on the horror film Orphan. Also producing the project, Pompeo stars in the series about a couple who adopts a girl who they think is a child but may be an adult in disguise. Since the series has wrapped, Pompeo has agreed to return to Grey’s Anatomy for more drama.
“They are such powerful characters who are so much more alike than anyone thinks. I’m a huge fan of the Meredith-Ellis relationship, and Ellis isn’t around, but when you have that tumultuous relationship with your mother, you bring that into every other relationship you have with another older female. I love diving into the history of the show and diving into Meredith’s history with mothers and mentor figures.
