Grey's Anatomy season 20 is right around the corner and star Jessica Capshaw has confirmed when her beloved character Dr Arizona Robbins will return.

Fans of the medical drama will know that the pediatric surgeon left at the end of season 14 in 2018 when she decided to move to New York so that daughter Sofia could be closer to both of her parents.

Since her departure, fans have been wondering if she would ever make a return to the ER - and whether she actually reunited with Callie Torres (Sara Ramírez) - with actress Capshaw finally revealing when she will return to our screens.

Posting a picture of herself in scrubs, a mask and a floral cap, the star wrote: "04.04.24." The 20th season of the show is set to premiere on ABC on March 14, so we will be some way into the new episodes when Arizona arrives.

Her co-stars were quick to share their excitement on the Instagram post, with Camilla Luddington, who stars as OB-GYN Jo Wilson, responding with diamond and heart emojis.

Hilarie Burton Morgan, who played craniofacial surgeon Lauren Boswell, jokingly wrote: "Girl. Meet you in the break room!" referring to the pair's season nine one-night stand which put a strain on Arizona and Callie's relationship.

Arizona won't be the only returning character in season 2o with Alex Landi reprising his role as Dr Nico Kim, who left the show at the end of season 18 following his breakup with Dr Levi Schmitt.

Landi teased his show return in January via Instagram, sharing a photo of him on set with his hospital name badge alongside the caption: "SEASON 20 @greysabc."

Dr Meredith Grey will also make her grand return in the newest season after actress Ellen Pompeo decided to take a break in 2023.

Grey's Anatomy season 20 and Station 19's final season will premiere on March 14, 2024 on ABC in the US. Both shows stream on Disney+ in the UK.
