Grey's Anatomy Exits: Kevin McKidd, Kim Raver Leaving in Season Finale Two veteran cast members of Grey’s Anatomy are departing the long-running ABC medical drama as their final episodes air in the series’ 22nd season. Kevin McKidd and Kim Raver, who have played Dr. Owen Hunt and Dr. Teddy Altman respectively since 2008 and 2009, will exit the show at the end of the season, with their final episode airing on May 7. The season finale will follow three remaining episodes scheduled for March 26, April 2, and April 30. McKidd, who joined the series in season five, has become a key figure both as an actor and director. He directed 48 episodes of the show and will also direct his final episode, which coincides with the season finale. Raver, who first appeared in 2009, returned as a series regular in 2018 after a brief absence. Over the years, her character, Teddy, has evolved from a recurring role into a central figure, often navigating complex personal and professional challenges. The actors’ departures are tied to the conclusion of their characters’ storylines. Owen and Teddy, who share a long-standing on-again, off-again relationship, married in season 18 and later divorced after a recent split. Their journey, marked by love, loss, and resilience, has been a cornerstone of the series. Creator Shonda Rhimes hinted at a bittersweet yet satisfying ending for the couple, stating that their story has reached its natural conclusion. McKidd reflected on his time on the show, calling it a “huge chapter” of his career. He praised the creative team, particularly Rhimes, for shaping his role and supporting his transition into directing. Raver expressed gratitude for the opportunity to portray Teddy, crediting Rhimes and Betsy Beers for creating the role.#shonda_rhimes #grey_s_anatomy #kevin_mckidd #kim_raver #meg_marinis
