'Grey's Anatomy' prepares a historic finale for season 22: it will say goodbye to two key characters

The 22nd season of Grey's Anatomy will bring with it one of the most important farewells of recent years. The medical drama, one of the longest-running on television, will say goodbye to two of its most veteran characters, in a decision that responds to a creative turn in the series. 

It's about the characters played by Kevin McKidd and Kim Raver, who have brought to life for years Owen Hunt and Teddy Altman. Both have been fundamental pillars in the plot, starring in some of the most intense stories, especially in the sentimental and family sphere. 

The departure of these characters will arrive at the season finale, scheduled for May 2026, and promises to be “emotional and bittersweet”, according to creator Shonda Rhimes. The series, which continues to reinvent itself after more than two decades on air, thus faces a new stage marked by changes in its cast and storylines. 

This move confirms that Grey's Anatomy continues to evolve, betting on renewing itself without losing its essence, even at the cost of saying goodbye to some of its most beloved faces.
