Ellen Pompeo's titular MD may have been at the heart of Grey's Anatomy since the very outset almost two decades ago, but other beloved doctors such as Cristina Yang (played by Sandra Oh) and Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) have been and gone before, with the show remaining a popular fixture on the TV calendar.
To fill the void (if such a thing is possible for such a beloved character), the Grey's Anatomy writers brought in a crop of new characters during season 19, with plenty of their own storylines to explore.
It's through those new interns' eyes that we'll see life move on at the hospital, and showrunner Meg Marinis says that the show is going "back to basics" for season 20, with the usual dose of complex personal problems, intertwined with traumatizing medical emergencies.
Note that, due to last year's industry strikes, season 20 is a short run – just 10 episodes, the first of which is available now. And to make sure that you don't miss a minute, keep reading our guide on how to watch Grey’s Anatomy online from absolutely anywhere.
