Ellen Pompeo Posted a Behind-the-Scenes Picture From The Grey’s Anatomy Set

The doctors are back on call. Grey’s Anatomy Season 17 has begun shooting after the coronavirus pandemic forced the set to shut down. Ellen Pompeo is posted a behind-the-scenes photo from the set.
The cast and crew had four episodes left to film for Season 16. Season 17 is dedicated to those who have fought and are still fighting COVID-19.
“First time back in my scrubs…” Pompeo wrote on her Instagram post
“Since we shut down filming 7000 healthcare workers have died from Covid. I dedicate my season 17 to all who have fallen and to [every one] of you who by the grace of God is still standing… this season is for you with humility and a bit of humor to get us through and endless amounts of gratitude. I hope we do you proud.”
“We’re obviously going to be tested multiple times a week and sort of separated in zones,” she said. “We’re going to have a lot less personnel on set…We’re uniquely lucky that we get to wear PPE [personal protective equipment] because we play doctors, so for other shows that aren’t in the doctor world I really feel for them because that’s an added challenge that they have to face.”
New episodes are focused on how the pandemic affects healthcare workers.
This new season probably won’t be easy to watch due to the fact that it hits close to home for many.
