The doors of Grey Sloan Memorial will stay open for at least one more year.
ABC has renewed Grey’s Anatomy for a 23rd season, extending the show’s record as the longest-running primetime medical drama on American television — and the longest-running scripted primetime show ever on ABC. The pickup should take the series, created by Shonda Rhimes, past the 475-episode mark next season.
Grey’s Anatomy will roll into the 2026-27 season without two long-serving cast members — Kim Raver and Kevin McKidd are leaving the show following the May 7 season finale (which McKidd is also directing). Three actors — Ellen Pompeo, Chandra Wilson and James Pickens Jr. — have been with the show for its entire run (though Pompeo, who’s also an executive producer and narrates the series, has reduced her on-screen time in recent seasons).

The series remains a solid performer for ABC, particularly on streaming. Grey’s Anatomy more than doubles its initial on-air audience of 2.22 million viewers with a week of streaming and other delayed viewing, and it’s among the top 15 network series (excluding live sports) in the key ad demographic of adults 18-49. The show’s large library, which streams on Hulu and Netflix, is also a fixture in Nielsen’s streaming ratings.
Grey’s joins the previously renewed 911, 911: Nashville, Abbott Elementary and High Potential in ABC’s lineup for the 2026-27 season. The network has yet to make decisions on comedies Scrubs and Shifting Gears and dramas The Rookie, Will Trent and R.J. Decker.
