Is ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ on tonight?
Is “Grey’s Anatomy” on tonight? NO. ABC’s long-running medical drama aired its Season 19 finale on Thursday, May 18, 2023. A 20th season has been ordered with new showrunner Meg Marinis, but it is not expected to debut until early 2024 due to the writers’ strike. Read on for everything to know about “Grey’s Anatomy.”
Who are the original cast members?
“Grey’s Anatomy” centers around the personal and professional lives of the interns, residents and attendings at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. The series has seen its fair share of cast overall over the past two decades, but there are still two originals among the current line-up: Chandra Wilson as Miranda Bailey and James Pickens Jr. as Richard Webber. Ellen Pompeo‘s Meredith Grey left Seattle during the 19th season, but the actress still does the show’s narration and she returned in the season finale.
