Grey’s Anatomy returns for Season 20 in March and now, a new trailer for the upcoming season is teasing the fate of Teddy Altman (Kim Raver) after she collapsed in the operating room during the Season 19 finale. In the trailer, which you can see for yourself in the video below, Winston (Anthony Hill) comments that Teddy is in “critical condition”, though exactly what is causing Teddy’s issue has yet to be revealed — other than the toothache she complained of in the season finale.
The trailer also serves to remind that Ellen Pompeo’s Meredith Grey will be returning for at least part of Season 20. Pompeo departed as a series regular in Season 19. When Pompeo departed Grey’s as a series regular, she said that she’d be making some appearances. She also revealed some frustrations with playing Meredith for so long.
“When you stay on a show and with a character that long…for me, I really need to make sense of things and I really need to see evolution and growth,” Pompeo said. “And with network television specifically, there has to be some consistency for the audience. The audience wants familiarity. The writers get stuck in the consistency of something, and it’s harder, which I always would argue against and say, ‘We have such an incredible fan base. They’re so loyal. They’ll literally come along with us no matter what we do.’ I think it’s okay for Meredith to stop making bad decisions.”
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.
