Grey’s Anatomy actress Jessica Capshaw has announced a new career venture with co-star Camilla Luddington.
During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Capshaw, best known for playing Dr Arizona Robbins, revealed that she will be teaming up with Luddington for a new Grey’s Anatomy podcast.
The currently un-named podcast will be available via IHeart Radio, with episodes expected to drop in summer 2024.

Capshaw explained how the podcast came about during her chat on Drew Barrymore’s talk show.
“Well, Camilla Luddington, who’s one of my besties on Grey’s Anatomy — who plays Jo Wilson — and I had an idea and then we sort of worked it all together and then we sorted it all out and we went to IHeart Radio and they were like, yes,” she said.
“I’m so excited. What’s it gonna be called?” Barrymore responded, with Capshaw confirming: “Well, we don’t have the name right now.”
The Grey’s Anatomy star added that the podcast would be “coming soon, early summer.”
Capshaw returns to the long-running ABC show for an extra-special cameo in season 20, with the episode in question airing in the US tonight (April 4).
It marks the first time viewers have seen her character Robbins back on screen since 2018. In the show, the paediatric surgeon left Seattle for New York to be closer to daughter Sofia, following her divorce from Dr Callie Torres (Sara Ramírez).
Capshaw confirmed her return episode date in an Instagram post shared in February, sharing a photo of her dressed up in scrubs and in character, with the caption: “04.04.24”.
In an additional Instagram post, displaying her close friendship with Luddington, Capshaw filmed herself back on the Grey’s set and having fun with the Jo Wilson actress in a Barbie-inspired reel to the tune of Lizzo’s ‘Pink’.
Whilst season 20 of the hit medical drama has only just begun airing, ABC confirmed this week that Grey’s Anatomy will return for a 21st season, continuing it’s record as the longest-running primetime medical drama in TV history.
