Grey's Anatomy's very own Camilla Luddington has said fans should brace themselves for season 21, admitting the script left her "shooketh".
The Jo Wilson star will return to ABC's long-running medical drama for a new batch of episodes following a pregnancy twist on season 20.
Speaking with Grey's pal Jessica Capshaw, who plays Arizona Robbins on the show, Luddington explained the new season is almost ready to shoot.

"I woke up this morning, scrolled through my phone and there it was, sitting in my inbox, the premier episode script of Grey's Anatomy season 21," Luddington said on their Call It What It Is podcast.
"And you know what's so funny and you know this, Jess, we never know what's going to happen. We are not given a heads-up, so I was reading the script in bed this morning and I was shooketh," Luddington continued.

Set for a September premiere, season 21 of Grey's will reportedly see several cast members appearing in fewer episodes as a cost-cutting measure, whilst protagonist Ellen Pompeo will return to the role of Meredith Grey in at least seven episodes — if not more.
Amongst the actors leaving are Jake Borelli and Midori Francis, who will only star in a few episodes to wrap up their storylines before exiting the show as series regulars.
Grey's Anatomy season 21 will air premiere on Thursday, September 26 at 10pm ET on ABC in the US. Previous seasons are streaming on Disney+ in the UK.
