HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 14 (UPI) — Denzel Washington is getting ready to step into the director’s chair for ABC’s medical drama Grey’s Anatomy, according to reports.
Washington will be directing episode nine of the current 12th season, which goes into production later this month as first reported by TVLine.
No story details have been released so far, but longtime series writer Stacy McKee will be penning the episode just in time for November sweeps.
This will mark the two-time Oscar winner’s first time directing for television, but Washington has experience behind the camera from directing 2002’s Antwone Fisher and 2007’s The Great Debaters, two films he also starred in.
Washington will continue to work in television afterwards having recently signed on to produce 10 of Pulitzer prize-winning playwright, August Wilson’s works in a deal with HBO, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Grey’s Anatomy returned for its 12th season back in September airing alongside series creator Shonda Rhimes’ other popular drama’s Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder, setting up ABC’s popular ‘TGIT’ (Thank God It’s Thursday) block of television.
