Grey's Anatomy Couple Reunites, Sparking Spin-off Rumors

In May 2022, Grey's Anatomy fans were treated to a surprise reunion of the show's beloved couple, Jackson and April, played by Jesse Williams and Sarah Drew. The pair, who had both exited the long-running medical drama in recent years, returned to Seattle for the series' 400th episode, where viewers were delighted to see the characters reunited and even sharing a sweet kiss.

The unexpected reunion has sparked renewed interest in the Japril storyline, with both actors hinting that the door may still be open for more content featuring their characters. Sarah Drew, who portrayed April, told Deadline in May 2022 that the episode's ending left "a lot of open-ended questions" about the couple's future, and that she had received inquiries from the Grey's Anatomy cast and crew about the possibility of her returning next year.
