This year, in its 15th season, Grey’s Anatomy matches the record of ER as the longest-running primetime medical drama. Grey’s continues to be one of ABC’s top-rated shows so it seems certain that it will be renewed for a 16th season. Who will leave, stay, or return? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A high-intensity medical drama series that airs on ABC, Grey’s Anatomy stars Ellen Pompeo, Justin Chambers, Chandra Wilson, James Pickens Jr., Kevin McKidd, Kim Raver, Jesse Williams, Caterina Scorsone, Camilla Luddington, Kelly McCreary, and Giacomo Gianniotti. Though this series has been on the air for 15 seasons, there is still plenty of personal and professional drama to come. Meredith Grey (Pompeo) and the other doctors at Seattle’s Grey Sloan Memorial are faced with life-or-death decisions on a daily basis. This team of healthcare professionals share friendship and sometimes, even more. Together they discover that neither medicine nor relationships can be defined in black and white.
