"Grey’s Anatomy", "American Housewife" & "black-ish" Get Extra Episodes from ABC

ABC has ordered two additional episodes of veteran drama "Grey’s Anatomy" and comedies "black-ish" and "American Housewife", expanding the seasons of each series to 24 episodes.
"Grey’s Anatomy" continues to be in a league of its own. A heavily serialized drama, a genre that often commands limited-run seasons of 13-18 episodes a year — a strategy employed by such high-profile dramas as NBC’s "This Is Us", Fox’s "Empire" and ABC’s "How to Get Away with Murder" — "Grey’s" has been able to deliver suppressed seasons for most of its long run while remaining a ratings stalwart.
Besides its original mid-season run, 12 of "Grey’s" 13 subsequent seasons have consisted of 24 or 25 episodes each.
As a result, "Grey’s Anatomy", now in its 14th season, is about to cross the 300 episode mark.
