Fans have been missing Greys Anatomy since the show went on its winter hiatus. Recently, it was announced that the break would actually last a week longer than originally expected and we wouldnt be seeing the Greys Anatomy cast again until March 11. Now, Jesse Williams, who plays Dr. Jackson Avery, is letting fans in on what the rest of Greys Anatomy Season 17 will hold.

This season has already been very taxing for the Greys Anatomy cast. Dr. Miranda Bailey lost her mother to coronavirus (COVID-19) and Meredith Grey has been battling the virus for most of the season. The rest of the cast has been dealing with the COVID pandemic as well, while trying to cope with the fact that they may actually lose Meredith.

Episode seven of Greys Anatomy is set to premiere on March 11, and according to Williams, its going to be crazy.

Its pure madness, Williams told Entertainment Tonight. Ive got to say, we have found a way to have really highly concentrated, dense episodes towards the middle of the season with a lot of this incredible combination of loss and joy and progress in these characters lives. But when [we] come back, yeah, its going to be fairly terrifying and exhilarating.

As with every season of Greys, each character has their own personal drama, but paired with the fact that the doctors have been working nonstop to fight the virus, has meant that this season has been especially hard for almost all of the characters.

Theresa lot of personal journeys and theres a lot at stake losing yourgrip on whats real and whats stable in life, and dealing with the pandemic on the show has been really cathartic for viewers to feel, Williams said. Yes, it has value in imagining elsewhere, but theres also value [in] understanding. A show like this is news for some people and I dont mean thateverything is a fact but it is a way to get a human side to statistics to stories and to nameless, faceless stories. These are actual people that have loved ones that were born that his sister and a mom and a brother and theyre struggling with it theyre not just a stat or a demographic so thats important.

If youve been a longtime fan of Greys Anatomy, then you know that Meredith has had a number of brushes with death but has always come out on the other side. This time, seems a little different and even Williams is worried about the character.

I am a little nervous too, he told the outlet. Theres got to be hope. As far as I can see, theres hope.Shes a really hilarious broad; I call her because she is one of the last of the broads that we have. In a lot of ways, weve all got a lot invested in this and she kind of represents both the sheer terror and the very real and reasonable feeling we have of whats kind of been washing over this. But also our fight, our stick to it[-ness], our preparednessand it really does put into perspective, live your life now.
