Last month, Allen was forced to set the record straight about a picture she shared on her Instagram page. The photo showed her dressed in full protective gear, holding the hand of a black female patient lying on a hospital bed.

Fans thought the picture was a spoiler for the new season, with some believing the patient was a character from the series, "Dr. Bailey. However, Allen cleared the air, saying the patient was not Dr. Bailey and that she was observing COVID-19 protocols.

The series's cast and crew returned to filming in September after going on a six-month break due to the COVID-19 pandemic which forced production studios to shut down. The pandemic also caused season 16 to end earlier than scheduled.

Following the return to filming, Allen said the medical series' new season could not be more relevant and would force some of the characters to rethink their relationships. Allen also said that aside from the COVID-19 pandemic, the new season might address the Black Lives Matter movement.

"Grey's Anatomy's" showrunner, Krista Vernoff, in an exclusive interview with Variety, also revealed that the writer's room of the show agreed to tell the COVID-19 story in the new season as it was the biggest medical story of all time.

Meanwhile, Allen's bio series, "Uncensored: Debbie Allen," premiered on Sunday on TV One. The inspirational series follows the legendary director's over 40-year journey from her upbringing to her days at Howard University, remarkable career, and family.

In the bio series, fans will learn a lot from Allen's inspiring story and see the lessons that helped the icon achieve success in all of her endeavors, thus remaining ageless and relevant today.
