All doctors on Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital will remain on call for the next year. In a move that surprised no one, ABC decided to renewGrey’s Anatomyfor another season. The long-running medical series will extend until Season 22, which will air in the 2025-2026 season. The network has yet to announce if all regular cast members are returning for the new season, but showrunnerMeg Marinishas hinted that former protagonistEllen Pompeo(Good American Family)is expected to returnfor some episodes.
Since Season 21 is still rolling out episodes — the season finale is scheduled to air in mid-May — we can’t speculate on the kind of cliffhangers that the show will end on, especially giventhe series' tendency to end with a bang. However, it’s safe to say that the doctors will continue to work under Dr. Catherine Fox (Debbie Allen) as they receive a slate of new patients to care for while trying to balance their working and personal relationships. Marinis is expected to continue on as showrunner, and chances are that the show will keepits trend of bringing old cast members backfor small arcs.

The Season 22 renewal underscores thatGrey’s Anatomyhas the potential to keep going indefinitely. Just recently, President of Disney Television GroupCraig Erwichstated thatGrey’s Anatomy“is as creatively strong as it’s ever been,” which suggests that thenew seasons will keep on rolling out. Last week, former showrunner and series creatorShonda Rhimes(Bridgerton) revealed that she planned several endings forGrey’s Anatomy, but at this point, she has “zero endings” in mindbecause nobody knowswhere the show might end up.
