When Does ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Return With New Episodes?

It may seem like Grey’s Anatomy just returned for the back half of Season 22, and that’s because it did! It’s only been a few weeks since the series picked back up after the cliffhanger of the midseason finale. Even so, though, the show is already going on a tiny bit of a hiatus.

After the most recent episode, “Strip That Down,” welcomed back Kate Walsh as Addison Shepherd in another guest stint, the show went off the air for several weeks. So when does it return?

When does Grey’s Anatomy return with new episodes?

The season will resume on Thursday, February 26, 2026, at 10/9c on ABC, after three weeks off air. Airing in its usual timeslot during those weeks will be repeat episodes of 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Nashville. The preemption is likely due to the timing of the Olympics.

What will happen when Grey’s Anatomy returns?

Grey’s Anatomy Season 22 Episode 11 is titled “(If You Want It) Do It Yourself” and will feature several new guest stars.

According to Deadline, Yellowstone breakout Jen Landon will recur in four episodes as Dr. Toni Wright, a new plastic surgery attending, who’s described as “possess[ing] a magnetic zest for life” and as “a charming and disorganized mess who says yes more than no.” Her role could be extended, according to the publication.

The official description for the episode gives more clues about what to expect, too: “Teddy (Kim Raver) and Winston (Anthony Hill) clash over a case, while Owen (Kevin McKidd) and Jules (Adelaide Kane) treat a urologist. Lucas (Niko Terho) struggles with prioritizing patients.”

 Grey’s Anatomy Season 22 is expected to run for a total of 18 episodes, according to USA Today. The series went on midseason hiatus after Episode 6, which left Jo Wilson’s (Camilla Luddington) life in the balance amid a risky operation. However, she came through in the spring premiere and is recovering well, as of the most recent episode.
