Though the ratings have dropped and many castmembers have left over the years, Grey’s Anatomy has remained one of ABC’s highest-rated drama series. How long can this run continue? How long will people keep watching? It surely won’t be cancelled soon but, how quickly will it be renewed for a 14th season? Stay tuned.
Grey’s Anatomy revolves around the personal and professional lives of the surgical residents, fellows, and attendings in the surgical wing of the fictional Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital in Seattle, Washington. The ensemble cast includes Ellen Pompeo, Justin Chambers, Chandra Wilson, James Pickens Jr., Kevin McKidd, Jessica Capshaw, Jesse Williams, Sarah Drew, Caterina Scorsone, Camilla Luddington, Jerrika Hinton, Kelly McCreary, Martin Henderson, Jason George, and Giacomo Gianniotti.
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. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

Last year comparison: The 12th season of Grey’s Anatomy averaged a 2.22 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 8.04 million total viewers (live + same day ratings).
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like the Grey’s Anatomy TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a 14th season?
2/10 update: ABC has renewed Grey’s Anatomy for season 14. Details here.
Kill it. Way too boring now. Boring actors, boring script, boring Seattle, boring, boring, boring….
Yes please keep it going I love this show and when it’s on break I watch reruns so please keep it going
Keep it going!!
Would love a 14th season – still a wonderful, entertaining show after all these years 🙂
I think it should have another season or 2 with a season finale. I’ve been with Grey’s since day one. And I love it. Hate to see them be over. But life continues and it’s time to end it with another season or two. Mainly since it’s just Meredith, Alex, Miranda and Richard left from the original characters. Too many are gone. Yang leaving was painful and then Derek… it’s just too much. We need closure with a beautiful ending.
Keep it please I love this episode
Keep it going…I have watched this since the beginning. Shonda is the brains behind this show and I believe she will keep it going!
Have loved this show from the beginning. Keep it going.
WE NEED A SEASON 14 ASAP !!! idk what you guys are doing but y’all can’t end Season 13 off like that
It would not be good to leave all fans with out a final season 14. But grays anatomy is a really great show and some how I hope they bring Derek back to the show . I love this show mar needs derek .
i wish too, but if that the case, we need change the plot story into fantasy and use magic to bring somebody died back into life, because we clearly saw derek dead body in the vid.
Never mind! Season starts in a couple weeks!
The people below are NOT FANS! Renew! If only to give true fans some closure.
Honestly my thoughts exactly. While it would kill me to end this show we can all deal with it as long as it gives us an ending we want (or knowing rhonda something that kills us inside). To just end it with no closure would hurt a lot of people as years have been invested in falling in love with this show, the characters, and the layout itself.
Please cancel this monotonous series!!!!!
I say cancel the show. Shonda Rhines can’t seem to keep her political views out of her shows these days. I have been a fan forever but not everyone has the same political views as she does & she now writes them in all her shows. Over Scandal too. Notorious based on CNN. Come on Shonda, you are an amazing writer. Do what you do best but keep your personal political views out of your shows. I would love to enjoy watching Greys but not in the direction you have taken it.
The doctors on Greys are so mean. There is not one doctor on that crew that I would pick to treat me unless I was brought in by the EMR. This would not be my hospital of choice.
Sorry shonra you lost it the grey anatomy whitout derek and chrisitna is not interessing
The games rings is fall
You must do something to revieve derek and return christina
You are clever women and i am sure that you find. Something to reveive derek
Cristina should return but I’m glad Derek is gone…Derek was pretty douchy in his final season and S12 (first season after his death) was the best in years.
How? He was barely in his final season, and while he had a bad stretch those last few episodes he made amends. Despite how he may have acted there is 11 seasons of his character that made us fall in love with his personality despite his ups and downs…its what made him so human. Yes, he should not be brought back, we have had time to cope and as a reality/drama that would be extremely ridiculous, but most of us were not glad. As for Cristina though, there are many rumors that she may actually make an appearance in season… Read more »
Bring Christina and derick back…dr mc dreamy and mc steamy..yay…bring back all of them..including mc dreamy’ s ex
