Jessica Capshaw on "Grey's Anatomy."
Prime time’s longest-running
TV medical drama is gearing up for its 20th season next month, and at
least one familiar face will be back in the hallways of Grey Sloan Memorial
Hospital.
“Grey’s
Anatomy” will welcome back Jessica Capshaw as Dr. Arizona Robbins when it
returns for its landmark season, ABC announced at its Television Critics
Association’s winter press tour day on Saturday.
Capshaw had previously appeared as fan-favorite Arizona in 10
seasons of the show, acting in more than 220 episodes before hanging up her
scrubs in 2018.
Her character, a pediatric surgeon, was at one point half of
one of TV’s most beloved couples, opposite Sara Ramirez (more recently of “And
Just Like That…”) as Callie Torres.
Like so many romances on “Grey’s,” it wasn’t a smooth ride,
but it did have a seemingly happy conclusion. In Season 14, upon Capshaw’s decision
to leave the series, her character relocated to be closer to her ex and their
daughter, building hopes for an off-screen reconciliation.
Arizona’s return – sans her one-time partner – will spark
speculation about the status of that relationship.

Another character returning to the beloved series is Dr. Nico
Kim, played by Alex Landi, who previously appeared in over 40 episodes between
2018 and 2022.
New faces on the show will include Natalie Morales, of “Dead
to Me,” “Parks and Recreation” and “No Hard Feelings” fame, who will play
pediatric surgeon Monica Beltran, according to ABC’s announcement.
“Grey’s Anatomy” is set to return on Thursday, March 14, at 9
p.m. on ABC and streaming the next day on Hulu.
