ABC says Abigail Spencer, who has played Megan Hunt on “Grey’s Anatomy” will return in the 18th season of the series.
Gatekeepers News reports that ABC says Spencer’s Megan will first appear in the 18th season premiere of its medical drama series, “Grey’s Anatomy” on Sept. 30 at 9 pm.
Abigail Spencer, who has played Megan Hunt on “Grey’s Anatomy,” will return to the ABC medical drama in a recurring role for its upcoming 18th season. According to representatives from ABC, Spencer’s Megan will first appear in the season premiere of “Grey’s Anatomy” on Sept. 30 at 9 p.m.
Megan, who is Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd)’s younger sister, is also a trauma surgeon and was presumed dead after going missing for 10 years during the Iraq War.
In the 13th Season finale and the beginning of Season 14, Megan was freed from captivity. She returned to Seattle afterwards. There, she reconnected with Owen and had the surgery necessary to close a wound she’d suffered during a bombing.
After she recovered, Megan moved to Los Angeles with her son, Farouk, a Syrian orphan whom she’d raised, and her fiancé, Nathan (Martin Henderson).
Although Megan’s Season 14 arc concluded with the three of them playing happily on a beach, she appeared in one episode in the 15th season.
The long-running drama series, “Grey’s Anatomy” has undergone several cast changes heading into Season 18. In its 17th season, Giacomo Gianniotti, Greg Germann, and Jesse Williams left the show.
However, as earlier announced in May, original leads Ellen Pompeo, Chandra Wilson, and James Pickens Jr. are all set to return for the upcoming season.
Spencer is one of several actors returning to “Grey’s” this season, along with Kate Walsh as Addison Montgomery and Kate Burton as Ellis Grey.
Spencer who recently co-starred on “Rebel” – ABC’s one-season legal drama created by “Grey’s” showrunner Krista Vernoff, over the years, had key roles on “Mad Men,” “Rectify,” “True Blood” and “Timeless.”
