We're SO Close to the Season 15 Premiere of Grey's Anatomy! Here's Everything We Know

Ever since the 14th season of Grey's Anatomy ended, there's only been one thing on our minds: the 15th season of Grey's Anatomy. Luckily, plenty of details emerged throughout these long Summer months to keep us satiated: we met a hunky new "Ortho God" and Grey Sloan's first gay male surgeon. We also learned all about the new "theme" of the season, and even processed those heart-wrenching goodbyes . . . with the help of Sarah Drew, of course. Now, it's officially time to look ahead. And what better way to prepare than to go over what we've learned so far?!

The Preview

We got our first look at the season in mid-September when the one and only trailer dropped. Things are getting steamy.

The Episode Length
ABC

The Episode Length

Here's a doozy: the season premiere will be two hours long. Sounds to us like a lot of sh*t is going to go down, especially since some of the biggest episodes in Grey's history have been two-hour events.

The Timing
ABC

The Timing

In a recent interview, Camilla Luddington revealed that there won't be a huge time jump at the start of season 15. That means we'll be picking up shortly after the events of the season 14 finale: Alex and Jo's wedding (officiated by Meredith!) and Teddy's arrival back in Seattle.

The Cliffhangers

There are plenty of cliffhangers that we need answers about — are Alex and Jo really leaving Seattle?! — but the biggest is perhaps what might happen between Amelia, Owen, and Teddy. After all, Amelia and Owen are living together, raising two kids together, and potentially falling in love again. And Teddy is pregnant with Owen's baby!

Here's the kicker, though: that sh*tstorm is not going to hit in the season premiere. Kevin McKidd recently revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that Owen doesn't know about Teddy's pregnancy, not even in episode two! "It takes a minute for that news to be slammed on Owen," he said. "I think he's going to be a bit vapor-locked for a minute." That means we're going to see plenty of tension in the first episodes of the season as things heat up. Whew.

The Episode Descriptions
ABC

The Episode Descriptions

The new pictures from ABC come with some pretty interesting captions. This is the description we have for the first hour:

"The doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial vie for a new position. Meredith is seemingly distracted and struggles to stay focused, and Maggie finds herself the keeper of a big secret while Amelia and Owen try to figure out their relationship. Meanwhile, Jo and Alex's honeymoon doesn't go exactly as planned."

And here's what we know about the second hour of the two-hour premiere:

New doctors continue to shake up the hospital in typical Grey Sloan manner. Meredith bonds with a patient while Jackson struggles with the meaning behind recent experiences; and after making a life-changing decision, Jo forms an unexpected alliance.

The Newlyweds
ABC

The Newlyweds

During our recent interview with Camilla Luddington, we learned that Alex and Jo leave promptly for their honeymoon after their sweet ferry nuptials. We don't know exactly where they go, but she revealed that they filmed in Santa Monica! Luddington said Jo will have an epiphany about the next phase of her life.

The New (Old) Additions
ABC

The New (Old) Additions

Even though we (tragically) said goodbye to our beloved April and our sunshine Arizona, we have some other entries to look forward to — possibly as soon as episode one. We know what Teddy will hit the ground running from minute one, and don't forget that Meredith's dad will also be back.

09
The Meredith/DeLuca Situation
ABC

The Meredith/DeLuca Situation

When we recently spoke to Giacomo Gianniotti about Meredith and DeLuca's upcoming tryst, he laid out some pretty juicy details about the romance. "Now that we're back at work, the day after the wedding, he's like, 'Oh my god, I kissed Meredith Grey last night, and now I have to go work with her. This is crazy.' When we come back in the first episode, that's what he's dealing with," he explained. "There's the awkwardness of this elephant in the room, and because there is that elephant in the room, it causes them both to be self-conscious of that kiss." So, where does the romance come in, you ask? "An energy starts to build," Gianniotti said, "and we're playing out what that means right now."

The "Season of Love"
ABC

The "Season of Love"

Season 15 has been called the "Season of Love" by the show's higher ups, so we can expect a lot of romance right out of the gate. We of course have our newlyweds, plus the whole love triangle between Owen, Teddy, and Amelia. And even (allegedly) Meredith and DeLuca!

We've also caught wind of another new romance on the horizon: it seems the new gay surgeon will also have love on the brain once he settles in at the hospital. And all the stars are obsessed with the "supersweet" romance.

A Dash of Humor

During a recent red carpet interview, Alex Blue Davis talked a bit about the premiere, noting we could expect some light-hearted laughs as we ease into the season. "It's funny. I really think it's really funny," he said. "We were laughing at the table read a lot. There's a lot happening."
