Sophia Bush Joins ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ As Recurring

EXCLUSIVE: One Tree Hill and Chicago PD alumna Sophia Bush has been tapped for a recurring role on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy. This marks the highest profile new cast addition to the venerable medical drama’s 21st season so far.

First appearing in episode 2106, which airs Nov. 7, Bush will play Dr. Cass Beckman, an amiable, fun and a little messy around the edges trauma surgeon at Seattle Presbyterian whose husband David Beckman is a cardiothoracic surgeon at Grey Sloan. (It is unclear whether David, who is believed to be a minor character, has been cast.)

Bush has medical drama experience — she played the title role, a heart surgeon, in the CBS 2022 series Good Sam, which she also executive produced.

Currently, Bush and fellow One Tree Hill original star Hilarie Burton Morgan are set to executive produce and reprise their roles as Brooke Davis and Peyton Sawyer, respectively, in a OTH sequel series, which is in development at Netflix. The duo, along with Bethany Joy Lenz, also host the One Tree Hill rewatch podcast Drama Queens.

Additionally, Bush hosts her podcast, Work in Progress. She recently starred in Bryan Greenberg’s directorial debut, Junction. Bush is repped by CAA and Entertainment 360.
