What do you think? Are you glad that the Grey’s Anatomy TV show has been renewed for an 18th season? How would you feel if ABC had cancelled this TV series, instead?
When considering ratings, you have to consider that broadcast television has been losing viewership to cable television annually.
I think there should be a season 18 as this season has been including life with COVID (actually very well). I’d also hope that Netflix would pick up the series if ABC cancels it – their 10 episode format is optimal storytelling.
