ABC’s hit drama series Grey’s Anatomy returns this fall for season 21, with a very familiar face returning.
Jason George – who played Dr. since season 6. Ben Warren on Grey’s – will return as a series regular, according to him Deadline.
George was a series regular on Grey’s from seasons 12 through 14, before leaving to play the same character in the spinoff Station 19.
Now that Station 19 has come to an end and the final episode airs on May 31, Dr. George’s Ben Warren returns to Seattle Gray Sloan Memorial Hospital.
The actor himself let his 1.4 million Instagram followers in on the news with a short video post.

‘Well… it was a bit quiet. But now it’s official. Where are my scrubs?’ he said in the caption of his post, which already has over 20,000 likes after just three hours.
Warren’s return comes after the explosive season 20 finale that saw Ellen Pompeo’s Meredith Gray leave the hospital after publishing her Alzheimer’s research.
Dr. Ben Warren began his career as an anesthesiologist before becoming a surgical assistant at Gray Sloan.
He was bumped up to a series regular in season 12, but after season 14 he left the show to join the spin-off Station 19, where he would change careers again.
Towards the end of his time on Grey’s he revealed to his wife Dr. Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) that he had been accepted into the Seattle Fire Academy.
He ultimately chose to leave Grey’s and become an EMT and PRT doctor on Station 19, although he would regularly return to Grey’s as a guest star.
His move to EMT also didn’t hinder his ability to go back and complete his residency, which is exactly what he’ll be doing.
Ben was a fifth-year resident when he left for his career as an EMT, and he revealed to Captain Andy Herrera (Jaina Lee Ortiz) in the Station 19 finale that he was returning to Grey’s to complete his residency.

Station 19 also featured another Grey’s transplant – Stefania Spampinato’s Carina – but there are no immediate plans for her return.
There’s still a possibility that Spampinato’s Carina could return as a guest star at some point in the future.
George has also appeared in films such as Barbershop, Playing for Keeps, Breaking In, Indivisible and Give Me An A.
His other TV roles include Mistresses, Off the Map, Eli Stone, What About Brian?, Eve and Sunset Beach.
