Grey's Anatomy is not ending with its landmark 20th season as ABC has renewed the medical drama for Season 21.
As reported by Deadline, Grey's Anatomy will celebrate its 20th anniversary with the opening of a new season in 2025. ABC renewed the show which already holds the record as the longest running primetime medical drama just three episodes into the current season.
"The loyalty and love of Greys Anatomy fans has propelled us into a historic 21st season and I could not be more grateful," creator Shonda Rhimes said.
"[Showrunner] Meg Marinis storytelling is a gift that continues to keep the show vibrant, compelling and alive, and I cant wait to see what she has in store for next season."
Deadline believes most cast members' contracts will end this season, however, leaving the roster of Seattle Grace Hospital interns, residents, and attendees up in the air ahead of Season 21. First premiering in 2005, just two of the original cast members remain on Grey's Anatomy: Chandra Wilson as Bailey and James Pickens Junior as Richard.
ABC didn't confirm how many episodes the new season would be, but Grey's Anatomy's episode numbers have greatly varied in length over the last two decades. Seasons 18 and 19 stuck to a consistent 20 while Season 20 dropped to 10, though this was largely caused by the dual actors and writers strike which brought Hollywood to a standstill.
