'Grey's Anatomy' Season 19 Renewal Talks Have Started, Ellen Pompeo Approached to Return

ABC yesterday gave an early Season 19 renewal to its flagship drama series Grey’s Anatomy, with star Ellen Pompeo closing a new one-year deal to continue as the show’s title character, Meredith Grey, and rise from co-executive producer to executive producer on the show next season. Krista Vernoff remains an executive producer and showrunner on both Grey’s and spinoff Station 19.

ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy universe will remain intact. A day after the network announced a Season 19 renewal for Grey’s Anatomy with Ellen Pompeo set to return, ABC has confirmed that spinoff series Station 19 also has been picked up for another season, its sixth. Krista Vernoff, who has been overseeing both series since 2019, will continue as executive producer/showrunner on Grey’s and Station 19 for the 2022-23 season. Vernoff has revitalized Station 19 since taking over the firefighter drama, boosting its ratings by introducing frequent crossovers with Grey’s Anatomy and integrated storytelling. Because of their close ties, the two series have regularly been renewed together.

Susanna Reid lost her temper with MP Edward Argar on Good Morning Britain as he refused to condemn Boris Johnson over a mass 'bring your own booze' party that was held for Downing Street employees during lockdown.

Grey’s Anatomy is a true phenomenon, beloved by audiences around the world. Whether they catch it live on , or stream it on Hulu or globally on or Star+, it’s clear that fans can’t get enough of brilliant creation,” said Dana Walden, chairman of entertainment for Walt Disney Television. “We have enormous faith in Shonda, Krista Vernoff, Ellen Pompeo, and the entire creative team to unlock new, untold stories that will continue to focus on modern medicine, tackle the issues that shape the world around us, and resonate deeply with loyal fans for years to come.”“I couldn’t be more excited that we get to keep telling the stories of Meredith, Bailey, Richard and all of the other doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial for another season,” said Shonda Rhimes.

Scrubbing back in. ABC announced an early renewal for Grey’s Anatomy, confirming the Shonda Rhimes-created medical drama will be back for season 19. Ellen Pompeo, Chandra Wilson and James Pickens Jr. are all set to return.

Grey’s Anatomy‘s record-breaking run will continue — with its leading lady Ellen Pompeo. ABC has renewed Shondaland’s hugely popular medical drama for a 19th season, and Pompeo has signed a new one-year deal to continue as the show’s title character, Meredith Grey. Pompeo also has been upped from co-executive producer to executive producer for Season 19. Fellow executive producer Krista Vernoff will remain at the helm of the series as showrunner.

What fight? Denzel Washington said he doesn’t remember anything about his alleged clash with Ellen Pompeo on the set of Grey’s Anatomy.

An extended holiday break for the worst reason. Grey’s Anatomy is among the ABC TV shows that have been delayed as the highly contagious omicron variant of COVID-19 spreads, Us Weekly confirms.

DeLuca may no longer be alive in the Grey’s Anatomy universe, but Giacomo Gianniotti is still in touch with his former Grey Sloan Memorial colleagues, he revealed during a game of Us Weekly’s costar secrets.

“Grey’s Anatomy” may be returning for yet another season if talks with ABC are successful.

Despite what Ellen Pompeo truly thinks, Dr. Meredith Grey may not be going anywhere.

Grey’s Anatomy‘s record-breaking run may continue. Renewal talks are underway for a potential 19th season of ABC’s flagship scripted series though sources caution that conversations are in early stages. I hear series star and co-executive producer Ellen Pompeo also has been approached about continuing on the show for another season.

Looks like Ellen Pompeo no longer wants to spend the rest of her life playing Meredith Grey!

Insider, the actress and podcast host said she’s mulled the show concluding.“I’ve been trying to focus on convincing everybody that it should end,” she told the outlet. However, wrapping up the long running – and financially rewarding show – doesn’t appear to be a popular idea.“​I feel like I’m the super naive one who keeps saying, ‘But what’s the story going to be? What story are we going to tell?'” Pompeo told the site.

Has the time come? Ellen Pompeo revealed why she has been pushing for Grey’s Anatomy to end after season 18 — despite receiving a big paycheck for her role on the drama.
