Jesse Williams left Grey's Anatomy after Season 17 to close the book on the long and important run of Dr. Jackson Avery. He had been a part of the show since Season 6, but he announced he was leaving to focus on new creative pursuits. His emotional departure was with Jackson, leaving Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital behind for a new life where he will carry on the social justice work of his family. Williams's leaving marked Jackson's transition from a charming surgeon to a socially conscious advocate.
