ABC’s medical drama "Grey’s Anatomy" continues to secure its place in TV history with a two-year renewal for seasons 16 and 17. The series’ star, Ellen Pompeo, is set for both seasons.

Grey’s Anatomy executive producer/showrunner Krista Vernoff will helm both the medical drama and firefighter spin-off "Station 19", providing a seamless crossover narrative on both series. All series come from ABC Studios.

"Grey’s Anatomy", which has cemented its place in ABC’s history books as the network’s longest-running primetime scripted series, has continued to be a powerful ratings performer for the network as its top scripted series.

Season-to-date, "Grey’s" has averaged a 2.8 rating and 3.6 million viewers in the key 18-49 demo and 10 million total viewers (Live+7). Its recent crossover episode with "Station 19" was another boost for the series, which gave it its biggest audience in five weeks (700k viewers).

“Everyone at Shondaland is thrilled that our fans’ commitment to TGIT continues,” said Shonda Rhimes and producing partner Betsy Beers in a joint statement.

“We are so proud of Krista and (HTGAWM’s) Pete (Nowalk) and the work they do. Making the choice to have Krista oversee Station 19 was easy — the creativity she brings to the Grey’s Anatomy universe continues a tradition of storytelling we hold dear.”
