Grey’s Anatomy season 20 will happen, as ABC officially confirms a renewal, but with one change to the long-running medical drama series.
Grey's Anatomy season 20 will happen but with one major change. The long-running hospital drama has experienced some major changes in recent months. Ellen Pompeo has taken on a reduced role as Meredith Grey, with the actor focusing on other projects. It was also announced that showrunner Krista Vernoff is stepping away from the show, and its spinoff Station 19, once the current installment ends.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Now, per The Hollywood Reporter, it's been confirmed that ABC has renewed Grey's Anatomy for season 20. Meg Marinis, who has been with the series since season 3, will take over the role of showrunner from Krista Vernoff. Grey's Anatomy is the first ABC scripted drama to receive a renewal. It joins the popular sitcom Abbott Elementary as the first of ABC's programs to be confirmed for a return.
She's credited with 35 episodes of the show. Her first credit came with the season 6 episode, "Hook, Line, and Sinner," which saw the characters work on a captain that was stabbed with a giant shark hook. More recently, she wrote the second episode of Grey's Anatomy season 19, which continues to slowly set Meredith's overall exit into motion and focuses on her relationship with Nick.
In more than one way, the ascent of Marinis as the showrunner of Grey's Anatomy ensures continuity for the series. The show continues to deliver strong ratings, both in a traditional sense and on streaming. If that success holds, there can certainly be a future with less Meredith Grey.
