Grey’s Anatomy is an iconic name on television. This medical drama has been airing for many years and has multiple seasons under the name, which is a testament to its massive and unprecedented success. Recently, the 20th Season of Grey’s Anatomy concluded.
Since then, fans have been curious about this Shonda Rhimes show and whether Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 will happen or not.
So if you are a fan of this show and are curious about the follow-up season, read on as we will decipher this question regarding Season 21 for everyone.
How Did Grey’s Anatomy Season 20 End?
The final episode of Grey’s Anatomy Season 20 is called Burn It Down and it was released on May 30th, 2024. Directed by Debbie Allen and written by Julie Wong, it was a crossover episode with the finale of the show’s spin-off Station 19. A forest fire matches these two episodes as people are dealing with it. Catherine tells Amelia and Meredith that they can retain their jobs if Tom Koracic is handed over everything.
Teddy comes back to Grey Sloan even though he was terminated from his position to support the doctors. Several Station 19 characters are shown in this episode including Theo Ruiz. Jo realizes about her pregnancy and believes that it will affect her rapport with Link. Meanwhile, Bailey’s husband is a firefighter who is trying to dowse the Seattle fire. She is worried about his safety.
A mistake from Richard leads to the death of a patient which forces him to think about retirement. Meredith quits the hospital and thinks about a life with Nick while releasing her paper to the public. Out of anger, Owen, Amelia, and Teddy are fired by Catherine. In the end, Bailey shows up and hints that she might replace Catherine.
Is Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 Happening?
In April, ABC gave a go-ahead to Grey’s Anatomy Season 21. This is good news for fans of a show that is already the longest in the medical drama genre on television. This reign will continue as the show has been renewed due to the viewership it generates. We will see more of the tales of all the doctors and nurses in the hospital as they continue to help patients.
What To Expect From It?
Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 will have more episodes than the last one since it was affected by the Hollywood strike. We saw how Catherine ended up firing so many people out of a vendetta with Meredith Grey. We will see how Amelia, Teddy, and Owen will cope with it and if they will land a new job or switch to a new profession. We might see them joining Meredith in the research.
Dr Levi Schmitt is also planning to leave which might happen in the next season. Jo Wilson and Atticus Lincoln are having a baby and it might affect their families. There are a lot of lovebirds and their romance will be also shown in Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 like Monica Beltran-Dr Winston Ndugu and Dr Jules Millin-Dr Mika Yasuda.
