Grey's Anatomy Renewed for Record-Breaking Season 23
30 Mar
Summary
- Grey's Anatomy renewed for season 23, extending its record.
- Two original cast members, Raver and McKidd, are departing.
- The show remains a top performer, especially on streaming platforms.
Grey's Anatomy is set to continue its record-breaking run, having been renewed by ABC for a 23rd season. This extension confirms its position as the longest-running primetime medical drama in American television history and ABC's longest-running scripted primetime show.
The upcoming season, which will likely surpass 475 episodes, will see the departure of Kim Raver and Kevin McKidd. Their exit follows the May 7 season finale, which Kevin McKidd is also directing. Ellen Pompeo, Chandra Wilson, and James Pickens Jr., who have been with the show since its inception, remain part of the cast, though Pompeo's on-screen presence has been reduced.
The series continues to be a significant draw for ABC, especially through streaming. Its viewership more than doubles when accounting for a week of delayed viewing and streaming. The show consistently ranks among the top 15 network series in the crucial adults 18-49 demographic. Its extensive library is also a constant in streaming ratings on platforms like Hulu and Netflix.
Grey's Anatomy joins other renewed ABC series for the 2026-27 season, including 911, 911: Nashville, Abbott Elementary, and High Potential. Decisions are still pending for other shows.
