Meredith and Maggie are two of the characters featured in new images from the Grey’s Anatomy season 11 premiere, while Derek is nowhere to be seen.
Maggie, Meredith’s half-sister, is set to fill in for departed Cristina.
She’s the daughter of Ellis Grey and onetime lover Richard Weber.
ABC released the official description of episode 1 along with the new pictures.
“With Cristina gone, a new doctor, Maggie Pierce (Kelly McCreary), making the rounds and Derek wanting to move to Washington DC, Meredith struggles to regain a sense of normalcy both at home and in the hospital,” it says.
“Meanwhile, Callie and Arizona come to a decision about surrogacy, Amelia overhears a big secret, Bailey realizes she will have to fight Alex for Cristina’s board seat and a freak accident causes two teenagers to be caught in a very compromising position, on the must-see season premiere.”
