Pompeo will appear as Meredith Grey for 7 episodes of Season 21.
Ellen Pompeo may not be a series regular on Grey's Anatomy anymore, but fans of the long-running ABC medical drama can expect to see quite a bit of her next season. According to EW, Pompeo, who plays Meredith Grey on the series, is set to return for seven episodes in Season 21 while will debut this fall. Pompeo, who is also an executive producer on Grey's Anatomy, will also continue to serve as the series' narrator. Pompeo has played Meredith since the series' premiere in 2005.
While it is unclear if Pompeo's appearances in Season 21 will be consecutive or spread across the full season, fans of the series have some idea of what Meredith might be dealing with when the series returns. The Season 20 finale saw Meredith resign from the Fox Foundation after being given an ultimatum by Catherine Fox over her Alzheimer research project and, after her resignation, publishing her research publicly.
Pompeo stepped back from her role as Meredith Grey during Season 19, which saw her appear for just eight episodes. Season 20 saw her appear in just four with the character having relocated to Boston. Last year, however, Pompeo said that her departure was"not a complete goodbye" and that she hoped to continue making appearances.
"The loyalty and love of Grey's Anatomy fans has propelled us into a history making 21st season, and I could not be more grateful," series creator and executive producer Shonda Rhimes said at the time."Meg Marinis' storytelling is a gift that continues to keep the show vibrant, compelling and alive, and I can't wait to see what she has in store for next season."
