ABC's Grey's Anatomy; AppleTV+'s The Last Frontier; and HBO's The White Lotus.





ABC's GREY'S ANATOMY
  • Jessica Capshaw will reprise her role as Dr. Arizona Robbins in an upcoming episode of the drama's 20th season. She previously starred on the medical drama for nine seasons.

Miyares starred in the Max limited series DMZ.
