The cast share their first photos of Greys Anatomy season 17 filming

Its been six months since production shut down on all TV shows and movies. Filming is starting up again, andGreys Anatomy season 17 is the latest TV show to start filming.

The cast took to Instagram and Twitter to share their selfies. Ellen Pompeo made it clear thatGreys Anatomy season 17 is dedicated to the healthcare workers. So many have lost their lives due to the coronavirus that it is only fitting that the series about doctors be dedicated to them.

Other cast members shared their selfies. Kelly McCreary put up a trailer selfie, commenting that its six months since she last acted. The last time she went that long without acting was in 1995. Is it like getting back on a bike?

Kevin McKidd opted for a simple one with him and Kim Raver. The two are dressed in scrubs, scrub caps, and in masks, although it doesnt look like theyre in the OR. They may be getting ready for an OR scene. The cast and crew will all need to wear masks when they are onset as part of the new health and safety regulations.

In fact, Pompeo led by example with the mask-wearing. She and co-star Richard Flood, who was promoted to series regular for the season. The two arent wearing scrub caps, which suggests theyre definitely not getting ready for OR scenes. Theyre just following health and safety guidelines in between takes.

This is a season that will include the coronavirus, too. The show is going to pick up in the middle of the fight, giving us a look at what live is like in the hospitals around the country.

The show isnt including the storyline to be disrespectful to those who have caught the virus and to the families grieving the losses due to the coronavirus. Instead, the focus is on what life is like. Medical dramas routinely raise awareness for medical concerns.

Greys Anatomy is certainly one of those shows. Theres been the awareness that womens health conditions are often overlooked, especially Black women. We got a look at the problems with insurance and people dying because they dont have coverage. There has also been awareness about mental health problems, including depression.

It only makes sense that the season will include something about the coronavirus.

We still dont know whenGreys Anatomy season 17 will premiere. Its slated for the fall and possibly will premiere in late October or November 2020. Its later than usual, but we know its going to be worth the wait.
