The Grey’s Anatomy fandom is in for a treat as Alex Landi, who depicted Dr. Nico Kim, officially reported his return for the show’s profoundly expected twentieth season. Sharing the thrilling news on Instagram, Landi posted a picture in hospital scrubs, alluding to the show that anticipates fans in the forthcoming season.
From seasons 15 to 18, Dr. Nico Kim, played a significant role in Grey’s Anatomy. However, watchers noticed his absence during the nineteenth season, which circulated the year before. The entertainer, who left a mark on the world with the show’s most memorable same-sex male doctor storyline close by co-star Jake Borelli (Dr. Levi Schmitt), is set to repeat his job in the clinical show.
The last time fans saw Dr. Nico Kim, he and Dr. Levi Schmitt had ended their relationship during the 18th season. Nico’s decision to pursue a position as the team doctor for the Seattle Mariners led to the breakup. Season 19 briefly touched upon Nico’s whereabouts, revealing that he had indeed taken the job with the Mariners.
Landi’s portrayal of Dr. Kim marked a milestone for diversity and representation, as he engaged in Grey’s Anatomy’s exploration of an Asian LGBTQ+ character. In a 2018 interview, Landi expressed the significance of his role, noting the limited representation of Asians and the LGBTQ+ community in the entertainment industry. He emphasized his commitment to breaking stereotypes and offering a fresh perspective on LGBTQ+ characters.
The upcoming season 20 promises to be a significant chapter for Grey’s Anatomy, but it will also be notable for the absence of Ellen Pompeo’s Meredith Grey as a series regular. Pompeo, who has been an integral part of the show, previously mentioned her decision to step back, citing a desire to “mix it up a little bit.”
As fans gear up for the return of Dr. Nico Kim, they can expect more medical drama, emotional moments, and the captivating storytelling that has made Grey’s Anatomy a long-standing favorite. With Landi back on set, the show continues its legacy of diverse and compelling characters, offering viewers a unique blend of entertainment and representation.
The anticipation is high as Grey’s Anatomy heads into its 20th season, promising surprises, heartbreaks, and, undoubtedly, more memorable moments in the fictional Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
