Kim Raver and Kevin McKidd to exit Grey's Anatomy after season 22 finale

Kim Raver and Kevin McKidd will exit Grey’s Anatomy after season 22 finale, marking a major cast shakeup

Two long-time stars of Grey’s Anatomy are set to leave the hit medical drama following its season 22 finale, signaling another major shift for the long-running ABC series.

According to reports, Kim Raver and Kevin McKidd — who portray Teddy Altman and Owen Hunt — will officially exit the show after more than 15 years. The season 22 finale, scheduled to air on May 7, will serve as their farewell episode.

The departure of these two key cast members marks a significant moment for the series, which has undergone multiple cast changes throughout its two-decade run. While Ellen Pompeo remains the face of the show as Meredith Grey, her reduced on-screen presence in recent seasons has shifted focus to supporting characters like Teddy and Owen.

Kevin McKidd’s role behind the camera has also been notable. Over the years, he has directed nearly 50 episodes of the series and is expected to direct the upcoming finale. Kim Raver has also contributed as a director on select episodes, further cementing both actors’ impact on the show beyond their performances.

“Grey’s Anatomy” has built a legacy of emotional character arcs and dramatic exits, with fan-favorite departures often shaping the show’s direction. The upcoming finale is expected to deliver another emotional goodbye for longtime viewers.

As the series continues, fans are left wondering how these exits will affect future storylines and whether new characters will step in to fill the void left by two of its most enduring figures.
