Trevor Jackson Cast in ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Season 21

Actor and R&B artist Trevor Jackson is set to make his highly anticipated debut on ABC’s iconic medical drama Grey’s Anatomy in the upcoming Season 21 finale. According to Deadline, Jackson will play a “handsome, intelligent, but arrogant” character in his late 20s who has just moved to Seattle. While his exact role at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital is under wraps, speculation suggests he could be stepping into one of the recently vacated intern or resident roles, following the departures of actors Midori Francis and Jake Borelli.

This marks a significant milestone in Jackson’s career, as he joins the ranks of an enduring television institution that has captivated audiences for over a decade. With the option to become a series regular if Grey’s Anatomy is renewed for Season 22—something many industry insiders expect—Jackson’s involvement in the show could become a permanent fixture.

Jackson, who has built an impressive resume in both acting and music, is no stranger to Disney/ABC. He starred in the black-ish spinoff grown-ish alongside Yara Shahidi from 2018 to 2024 and previously appeared in ABC’s American Crime in 2016. His versatility has earned him a dedicated fanbase, and his role on Grey’s Anatomy is expected to elevate his already successful career.

Fans can first catch Jackson’s performance in the Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 finale, airing on May 8. A formal announcement regarding his potential promotion to series regular is expected after the show’s likely renewal for its 22nd season.
