New Grey’s Anatomy season 21 cast member Trevor Jackson could be set to join the show on a more permanent basis for season 22. Jackson, an actor and singer, is best known for his role as Aaron Jackson as part of the cast of Grown-ish, as well as roles in the shows Eureka, Black-ish, and American Crime. He is also a singer, having released three studio albums, as well as collaborating with artists such as Diggy Simmons and Cierra Ramirez, and in 2018 he took the lead role of Youngblood Priest in the action crime thriller Superfly.
Per Deadline, Jackson is joining the cast of Grey’s Anatomy for the final two episodes of season 21. He is set to play a handsome, intelligent and arrogant character in his late 20s who has recently moved to Seattle, but it remains unclear whether he will be a surgical intern or resident. Following the departures of Grey’s Anatomy characters Mika and Levi, Jackson’s character could be set to fill one of the voids left by those two. Jackson reportedly has the option of being promoted to a series regular from season 22 onward, should the show receive a renewal.
What This Means For The Future Of Grey’s Anatomy
The Show Continues To Evolve & Grow
A show that has been on the air as long as Grey’s Anatomy needs to find ways of freshening things now and again. Jackson’s addition to the cast of Grey’s Anatomy as an arrogant yet intelligent character could be just what the series needs to add some conflict and tension. There is a good chance he will come into conflict with other characters, and that his presence at Grey Sloan Memorial could result in a lot of drama, as well as a disruption to the natural order of things.
His arrival in the final two episodes of season 21 could throw a curveball for other characters, as well as set up plot points and arcs that may spread to further seasons in the future.
Every year, the show seems to be able to find new stories and fresh perspectives to keep things interesting and maintain audience interest, so there is every chance Grey’s Anatomy season 22 will happen. A young and exciting talent like Jackson is bound to be a welcome addition to the cast, and could develop some strong onscreen chemistry with the existing stars of the show. With over 20 years on air, Grey’s Anatomy could be winding down now, and, with the possibility that every season could be the last, exploring fresh and exciting ideas is more important than ever.

This Is A Fresh Face That Could Bring A Lot To An Iconic Show
Grey’s Anatomy is a longest-running and iconic show, and Jackson will no doubt have had to beat out other talented actors in order to claim a role in the series. His arrival in the final two episodes of season 21 could throw a curveball for other characters, as well as set up plot points and arcs that may spread to further seasons in the future. While the nature of his character (and role) remains unclear right now, it feels likely that Jackson’s Grey’s Anatomy stint will be a memorable one.
