Grey's Anatomy

Can you believe that it’s been over 15 years since the series premiere of Grey’s Anatomy? Created by Shonda Rhimes, the show memorably debuted as a mid-season replacement all the way back on March 27, 2005. We’ve come a long, long way since the abbreviated first season (only nine episodes!) introduced us to baby interns Meredith, Christina, George, Izzie, and Karev.

Where does the time go?

Fast forward to 2021 and Grey’s Anatomy is about to air its seventeenth season finale. While this will be the final season for Jesse Williams, Giacomo Gianniotti, and Greg Germann as series regulars, we’re sure we’ll be introduced to a few new faces when the series returns with new episodes. When will Grey’s Anatomy Season 18 premiere on ABC? Here’s everything we know.

WHAT TIME IS GREY’S ANATOMY ON TONIGHT?

The Season 17 finale of Grey’s Anatomy airs tonight (June 3) from 9:00-10:01 p.m. ET on ABC. The episode will be available for next-day streaming on both Hulu and ABC.com beginning Friday, June 4.

IS THIS GREY’S ANATOMY’S FINAL SEASON?

Nope!

SO GREY’S ANATOMY WAS RENEWED FOR SEASON 18?

You know it. Back in May, ABC renewed their long-running medical drama for an eighteenth season. And, yes, Ellen Pompeo will be back!

WHEN WILL GREY’S ANATOMY SEASON 18 PREMIERE ON ABC?

*** UPDATE: Grey’s Anatomy returns Thursday, September 30 on ABC! ***

Last month, ABC released their upcoming fall schedule for 2021. Unsurprisingly, Grey’s Anatomy will once again air on Thursday nights. Even though the network has yet to release an official premiere date, Seasons 2-16 of Grey’s debuted in late September (last season’s opener was delayed due to the pandemic).

With the show’s previous release schedule in mind, we expect Grey’s Anatomy Season 18 to premiere in late September of 2021 (probably either September 23 or September 30).
