He's best known for his role in the hit country music drama series Nashville. But Chris Carmack has traded in his cowboy boots for scrubs as he joins the 15th season of ABC's medical drama Grey's Anatomy. 

Carmack—also known for playing Marissa's boyfriend Luke Ward in season one of The O.C.—is joining for "a major recurring role," according to The Hollywood Reporter and is set to play an orthopedic surgeon who is so talented, he is referred to as an "Ortho God." 

While details surrounding his character are slim, season 15 is said to be the "season of love." As a result, there is chatter that Carmack's character and Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) might strike up a romantic relationship as she is finally ready to move on following the tragic death of her beloved husband Derek Shephard (Patrick Dempsey) in season 11.

Kim Raver is also set to return to the ABC drama as a regular, once again playing Dr. Teddy Altman.

“I am thrilled to reprise the role of Dr. Teddy Altman as a regular,” Raver said in a statement. “Returning to Shondaland with the incredibly talented [showrunner] Krista Vernoff, Ellen Pompeo and the amazing cast is heavenly. I have a special place in my heart for Teddy and feel very lucky to have the opportunity to continue her story.”

The exciting new cast announcements come after fans were forced to sadly say goodbye to beloved characters Dr. April Kepner (Sarah Drew) and Dr. Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw).

Here are some of my favorite people on the planet. While shooting this scene my heart was so full of joy and sadness at the same time that it was almost unbearable. As I was looking up at all of these beautiful faces, smiling down at me with so much love, happy to see April alive and well, I was overcome with sadness about the reality of not being with all of these people in the same place in the same way ever again. But, I was ALSO overcome with the joy of having had the opportunity in my life to know such gorgeous people whom I have loved, who have loved me so well for 9 years. During a break in the scene, I felt the tears coming and I looked over and made eye contact with Caterina and Chandra and they whisked me away and let me feel my feelings all over them. It was such a sweet moment of friendship. What I keep experiencing since the moment I was let go, is the tremendous joy that is present in the midst of my sorrow. It felt horrible to be asked to leave my family of 9 years, and I have experienced real, deep grief over it, BUT I have ALSO been so buoyed up by my cast, my crew, the fans, and my family in such extraordinary ways, that I wouldn't trade any moment of it for the world. I keep describing my experience over the last two months as being "love-bombed" because between the conversations, the hugs, the letters, the tweets, the plane(!), that's truly what I've felt. Love-bombed. In the wake of being let go, I've been overwhelmed with gratitude, and I've felt profoundly loved. I am so humbled and so thankful. Get ready for so many more pics and love notes next week. ❤️❤️❤️
