As a devoted fan of Grey’s Anatomy since its inception, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and trepidation as we approach Season 21. Kevin McKidd, our beloved Dr. Owen Hunt, has been a constant through the years, navigating the tumultuous waters of Seattle Grace/Mercy West with grace (pun intended). His recent interview has only fueled my excitement for what’s to come.

The tension may escalate on television’s most beloved medical series, Grey’s Anatomy, as it prepares for its 21st season. Star actor Kevin McKidd, who portrays Dr. Owen Hunt, hints at a challenging journey ahead for two main characters. According to him, the road ahead looks bumpy.

In Season 5 of Grey’s Anatomy, Kevin McKidd made a charming entrance into both the show and our hearts. Since then, he has remained a cherished character for fans. Recently, he played Andrew Bloom in the highly anticipated adaptation of It Ends With Us. Now, Kevin is thrilled to be back on familiar ground with Grey’s Anatomy.

Although McKidd is thrilled to reprise his character as Owen, he harbors some concerns. Over the seasons, Dr. Owen Hunt has endured numerous trials, including dealing with PTSD and a complex relationship with Sandra Oh’s character, Christina Yang. After finding love with Dr. Teddy, portrayed by the captivating Kim Raver, their last appearance left them in a precarious situation.

As a lifestyle expert, I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Kevin McKidd on the red carpet for Blake Lively’s latest film. When inquisitive fans asked about the future of characters Teddy and Owen on Grey’s Anatomy, Kevin playfully hinted, “Their journey back to the hospital is filled with bumps, but it’s always thrilling when they reappear.”

In the role of Made of Honor, the actor explained, “I can’t reveal much, but it creates friction between Teddy and Owen. However, regarding their future, he shared, ‘Since some choices have been made, I believe they’ll work through it. But for a brief period, things may get rough.'”

Over time, the cast has experienced numerous departures and scandals; interestingly, Kevin stands out as a significant contributor to the series, not only appearing on screen but also taking up directorial roles for various episodes.

Since 2008, he’s been a fixture on the show, and when questioned about leaving, McKidd expressed uncertainty. However, he made clear that he enjoys his role in the production.

In a recent disclosure, the actor known for Percy Jackson also shared the reason for his continued fascination with portraying Owen Hunt. Kevin attributes this renewed enthusiasm to the innovative approach of the show’s new leader, Meg Marines, who has breathed fresh life into the characters by offering them intriguing new tasks.

Kevin McKidd expressed a bit of sentimentality as he reminisced about his extensive tenure on the show and the bond he shares with the cast and crew, referring to them as his “family.” He exclaimed, “I’ve been here for 15 years! I can hardly believe it. I haven’t spent that length of time in one place for 15 years!” In conclusion, McKidd admitted, “It really feels like family now. It would be tough to leave, so I’m content where I am.”

In a delightful display of affection, Kevin’s devotion and commitment towards the series is truly touching, and viewers are eagerly anticipating his appearance, given that he was among the initial cast members. The upcoming 21st season of Grey’s Anatomy is set to air on ABC at 10 p.m. ET on September 26.
