While the Grey’s Anatomy TV show has remained a top-rated drama for ABC, nothing can last forever. One also has to wonder how long the show will continue now that creator Shonda Rhimes has left ABC Studios for Netflix. While it seems unlikely that Grey’s Anatomy will be cancelled, this could be the beginning of the end. Will there be a 15th season? Stay tuned.
Grey’s Anatomy features the talents of Ellen Pompeo, Justin Chambers, Chandra Wilson, James Pickens Jr., Kevin McKidd, Jessica Capshaw, Sarah Drew, Jesse Williams, Caterina Scorsone, Camilla Luddington, Kelly McCreary, Jason George, Martin Henderson, and Giacomo Gianniotti. Recurring players include Debbie Allen, Kim Raver, Abigail Spencer, Matthew Morrison, and Stefania Spampinato. The long-running ABC medical drama 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. **Status update, below.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

**4/21/2018 status update: Grey’s Anatomy is renewed for season 15 on ABC. Details here.
Please Continue the show. I love the show.
I think you should continue the show.
PLEASE GIVE ME MORE SEASONS OF GREYS ANATOMY I LOVE IT I NEED IT.
I hope the show continues. I look forward to each new season. It’s a great story.
I absolutely live to watch this show !! I will be devasted when it’s all over . Please – please – please continue for Season 15 !!!
It will most likely have a season 15 and 16 because Ellen Pompeo has renewed her contract with ABC for 2 more years/seasons
i love this show so much i’m so upset that canceling it is even a option i am so looking forward to season 15
just cancel it now. So boring without Merediths love interest Dr. Riggs to tease and follow her around ….so unfit interns that lower the standard of medical interns.
I was over it and it still isn’t what it was before they stopped writing for Meredith, made Derek a jerk, almost made him cheat and then killed him because Patrick Dempsey refused to have his character ruined, but it improved greatly this season. Boring romance with Mer and Aussi doc done, Mer has her career back on track, whiny April back burnered, stupid Alex lawsuit story done. The humor is even back.
This show has been going downhill for ages. It just doesn’t have the wow factor it once did. It should be cancelled before it gets really bad
Cancel this. It is dragging on and since Ellen Pompeo said she doesn’t want Trump supporters I won’t watch it. They need to quit the politics in it and telling people what to think.
I personally feel that the show has been going down. I always have been a Mer & Derek fan , then Japril fan forever. But I believe that the show is not that great like it use to be in Season 1-11 and half of season 13, which were fabulous. Since Japril are not together anymore. The show has been going down. But that is only my opinion .
Aside from the fact that I am a trump supporter that has been highly insulted by comments made by overrated actress Ellen Pompei, this show is just bad. Maybe it has just been running too long.
Ellen Pompeii does not want Trump voter as fans. Fine with me. Will not watch
Cancel Grey’s Anatomy… once they decided to get political they lost all respect. I have watched from the beginning … will never watch again!
You do realize literally every show has gotten political in some way this past year….???
NEVER cancel. Been a favorite show from the beginning!!
