Though the ratings for Grey’s Anatomy have been dropping and the show is expensive to produce, ABC renewed it for a 10th season. Will the numbers continue to fall? Will it be renewed for season 11 or will it be cancelled? Time will tell.
Grey’s Anatomy follows the personal and professional lives of the staff at the fictional Seattle Grace Hospital in Washington. This season, the ensemble cast includes Ellen Pompeo, Sandra Oh, Justin Chambers, Chandra Wilson, James Pickens Jr., Patrick Dempsey, Sara Ramirez, Kevin McKidd, Jessica Capshaw, Sarah Drew, Jesse Williams, Camilla Luddington, Gaius Charles, Jerrika Hinton, and Tessa Ferrer.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available.

What do you think? Do you still like the Grey’s Anatomy TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for an 11th season?
Think the show. Has jumped the shark.With killing off Dr.Shepherd.Then having Meredith come back after a year.Having a baby .Then struggling to get back in swing of things. Sorry stopped watching.When they brought in new group.
Yes, I believe they should continue with the show. Grey’s Anatomy has been my favorite show since day one and it still is to this day. Grey’s Anatomy should never be cut off but continued with cause medicine never ends and there show is very similar to real life in every way the drama, the surgery, love, friendship, and tragedy. To wright this series off in my mind and I’m sure to millions more it would be a great loss to lose this show.
I agree it’s a great show, my wife got me into it from the start!!! but with Christina left now will they cancel, I think so!!! the show won’t be the same without her!!! the time has come to end the show, sorry everybody!!
Just because she moves doesn’t mean that she will no longer be in the show she’s Mer’s bff what there doing is expanding the show she may not be there as much but she will be there.
