Is ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ on Tonight? When the Next Season 17 Episode Will Air

After 16 seasons on air, Grey’s Anatomy continues to be one of cable’s most popular dramas. And this year, the series is mirroring real life, taking on the coronavirus pandemic in Season 17. We’re only three episodes in, but Grey’s Anatomy is already serving up some emotional moments, between an unexpected Patrick Dempsey cameo and Meredith’s (Ellen Pompeo) Covid-19 diagnosis.

Last week’s episode saw Meredith’s condition worsen as she went in and out of consciousness, seeing her late husband Derek every time as she envisioned the two of them reunited on a beach. But, with Meredith being sick and still observing that social distancing rule even in her dreams, she never quite makes it to McDreamy, and falls on her face in the sand. What will happen to Meredith? Will she join McDreamy on that beach? What’s in store for the rest of Season 17?

And more importantly, Is Grey’s Anatomy on tonight with a Thanksgiving episode? Here’s what you need to know:

WHERE CAN I WATCH GREY’S ANATOMY?

Since Grey’s Anatomy airs on ABC, your first option is to stream episodes on the ABC website. Right now, both Episode 1 and Episode 2 from this season are available to stream for free on ABC, but you’ll need a valid cable login for the most recent, Episode 3. You can also stream Grey’s Anatomy on Hulu, where all three episodes of Season 17 are now available, or on Netflix, which has Seasons 1 through 16, but does not have current episodes from this season.
