What Grey’s Anatomy’s Newest Trailer Means For Season 21

Fallout From Season 20 Will Be The Primary Focus

Grey’s Anatomyseason 21seemsprimarily focused on the fallout from Catherine’s decisions last season, making her a central character in the storylines to come. With multiple characters in conflict with her for different reasons, it appears the show will be jumping right into making her a central antagonist. This could potentially tie into Ben’s return afterStation 19ended, alongside the return of Kali Rocha’s Sydney Heron after 17 years of not being on the show.

Grey’s Anatomy Season 20 Just Set Up The Perfect Exit For 2 Long-Standing Surgeons

Grey’s Anatomy season 20’s final few episodes have set up the perfect way for two of Grey Sloan’s longest-standing surgeons to exit the series.

What’s curious is the trailer doesn’t give a clear answer as to where Jo’s storyline will go, despite her collapse and pregnancy reveal during season 20. With so many characters to juggle in the upcoming episodes,it wouldn’t be surprising if the first few had a major focus on Catherine’s conflictswith other doctors to set up what the core focus of the next season is going to be. The trailer also clarified that regular medical cases will still continue to come into the hospital, meaning patients' lives could become entangled with the tension currently unfolding.
