"Grey’s Anatomy" Renewed for Season 21 at ABC

"Grey’s Anatomy" continues to be in a league of its own, landing a renewal for a 21st season.
The pickup, which comes three episodes into its 20th season, extends its record as the longest-running primetime medical drama, which it initially set in 2019, and the longest-running ABC primetime scripted series. I hear Season 21 is expected to consist of 18 episodes, up from the 10-episode strike-impacted 20th season.
The early renewal is a testament to the show’s ability to reinvent itself and stay relevant even with its lead, Ellen Pompeo, not being on-screen full-time as a new group of interns was introduced last season.
Pompeo continues to recur in addition to serving as an executive producer and providing the voiceover that opens and closes each episode.
The pickup also is a vote of confidence to Meg Marinis, who took the reins as new showrunner of the Shonda Rhimes-created series for Season 20.
“The loyalty and love of Grey’s Anatomy fans has propelled us into a historic 21st season, and I could not be more grateful,” Rhimes said. “Meg Marinis’ storytelling is a gift that continues to keep the show vibrant, compelling and alive, and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for next season.”
