The doors to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital are almost ready to reopen as the cast of Grey’s Anatomy are officially back at work in preparation for the show’s upcoming 20th season.

Shonda Rhimes‘ hit medical drama had been on shutdown due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, but with both strikes now over, the show’s staff can return to production.

Camilla Luddington, who plays OB-GYN resident Jo Wilson, first teased the return to work on her Instagram Stories, where she shared a short clip of her being driven to the studio. In the video, she zoomed in on a sign that read, “Grey’s Anatomy Table Read.”

“I’m on my way to the table read for the new season and I don’t know if you guys can see, but it is raining in Los Angeles, which is really crazy,” she added in another video, followed by a photo of her name card and the top of a script for the Season 20 premiere episode.

ABC has yet to confirm when Season 20 of Grey’s will premiere as the fall primetime line-up had to be restructured due to the strikes.
