The doctors are officially back!

According to its star, Ellen Pompeo, Grey’s Anatomy has resumed filming after the coronavirus pandemic forced it to shut down with four episodes left to shoot in season 16.

“First time back in my scrubs… since we shut down filming 7000 healthcare workers have died from Covid,” the actress wrote in an Instagram post. “I dedicate my season 17 to all who have fallen and to everyone of you who by the grace of God is still standing… this season is for you with humility and a bit of humor to get us through and endless amounts of gratitude. I hope we do you proud.”

Showrunner Krista Vernoff previously confirmed that the medical drama will incorporate COVID-19 in season 17.

We’re looking forward to more episodes!
