‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Season 23 jumps ahead a month to unveil a new VIP floor

Deadline reports the Season 23 premiere picks up a month after the Season 22 finale, revealing a completed VIP floor and James Wolk’s Seth Norton as Grey Sloan’s new chief of surgery. Showrunner Meg Marinis said the jump offered storytelling flexibility and helped accommodate uncertainty over Scott Speedman’s availability. She confirmed Speedman will return as Nick Marsh despite scheduling challenges, and said Norton will drive conflict between the new floor and the rest of the hospital.
