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. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

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.
For comparisons: The 13th season of Grey’s Anatomy on ABC averaged a 2.07 rating in the 18-49 year old viewer demographic and 7.845 million viewers.
What do you think? Do you still like the Grey’s Anatomy TV series? Did you think it would be cancelled or renewed for a 15th season on ABC?

How the heck could they be together? lol
Cancel it!
Cancel it!! Krista Vernoff has ruined it!
Keep going don’t stop
Think it’s time for Grey’s Anatomy to be cancelled. The story lines have been poor for season 14. Losing Stacey McKee is a big loss. Two amazing actresses Jessica Capshaw and Sarah Drew are leaving which are two big fan favourites. People very unhappy with this decision. Think Get a has finally ran it’s course. Need something new and fresh.
I love Grey’s Anatomy & I never want the show to end but I know someday it will but not now & can’t leave things the way there are now, Meredith needs to find love again, let there be a season 15 at least
If your lack of creativity doesn’t allow you to create stories for the LGBT and Christians communities, maybe you’re what need to be replaced, Krista Vernoff. Arizona and April are iconic and you’re ruining everything. I hope the show get cancelled or you get fired or maybe both because it has no sense anymore. Grey’s Anatomy is dead to me.
NOT WITHOUT MY KEPZONA.
Kill it if you taking away April and Arizona
Upcoming Episode 14.15
I have watched every episode, but refuse to ever watch another. The last episode was a police bashing episode where some writer apparently thinks police are horrible murders. Never again do I care to watch a racist and biased show. Too bad for the good actors, all though I am disappointed that they portrayed the characters in that way.
Watch Gray’s since the first episode and stopped watching it this year when Ellen pompano didn’t want Trump supporters to watch her show so we dont watch anymore!!
