I'm convinced Sophia Bush is an IRL Barbie. She's played a doctor, a cop, and a fashion designer, and according to the actress herself, she "just wasn’t done with [her] scrubs" because the One Tree Hill alum just joined Grey's Anatomy season 21! The news was announced on October 16, and we'll see Bush in a major recurring role starting November 7. Here's everything you need to know about her character — and Grey's Anatomy season 21 overall.

Deadlinereports that One Tree Hill star Sophia Bush will join the series starting November 7 as Dr. Cass Beckman, "an amiable, fun, and a little messy around the edges trauma surgeon." Her husband, David Beckman, is a cardiothoracic surgeon at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. "I just wasn’t done with my scrubs," Bush, who produced and starred in CBS' medical drama Good Sam, says on Instagram.

The rest of the Grey's Anatomy cast for season 21 includes Ellen Pompeo, Chandra Wilson, James Pickens Jr., Kevin McKidd, Caterina Scorsone, Camilla Luddington, Jason George, Kim Raver, Jake Borelli, Chris Carmack, Anthony Hill, Alexis Floyd, Harry Shum Jr., Adelaide Kane, Midori Francis, and Niko Terho.
