Geena Davis to join cast of Grey's Anatomy

For a second there, we thought Grey's Anatomy had been cancelled. But no. Now in its ELEVENTH season, the medical drama shows no signs of stopping.

In fact, if anything, their cast is getting bigger with the announcement of Geena Davis joining the cast. According to THR.com, the Oscar-winning actress will be joining the staff of Grey Sloan Memorial as a surgeon.

Davis will be filling the void left by series regular Sandra Oh's exit and is expected to play a major part in the upcoming season.

This isn't the first foray into TV for Geena Davis, having led the short-lived West Wing-esque political drama, Commander in Chief.

Grey's Anatomy returns to Irish screens in late 2014.
