Grey’s Anatomy, ABC’s longest-running medical drama is back with its 21st season with more chaos and drama to unfold at Grey Sloan Memorial.
This season is going to pick up right where season 20 had ended, with Meredith quitting Grey Sloan Memorial to pursue her research on Alzheimer's with the first episode of season 21 premiering on September 26, 2024.
With 4 Primetime Emmy wins and innumerable other wins and nominations, Grey’s Anatomy has kept millions of fans addicted for almost 20 years. Since its debut in 2005, the show has kept viewers hooked, always asking for more.
Regarding the show being renewed for its 21st season, creator Shonda Rhimes stated,
“The loyalty and love of Grey’s Anatomy fans has propelled us into a historic 21st season, and I could not be more grateful. Meg Marinis’ storytelling is a gift that continues to keep the show vibrant, compelling and alive, and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for next season.”
Release date and time of Grey’s Anatomy Season 21, Episode 1
The first episode of the 21st season of Grey’s Anatomy will be premiering on September 26, 2024, on ABC. Fans who are okay with waiting for a day to stream the episode will be able to do so the next day, i.e. on September 27, 2024, on Hulu.
For fans in different time zones, here is a table explaining when the episode will be available in various time zones.
Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 will have 18 episodes, which will be released weekly. This season has significantly more episodes than the last one, which only had 10 because of the actors' and writers' strikes.
Additionally, with the strikes coming to an end, future seasons are likely to feature more episodes with varying storylines.
What to expect from Grey’s Anatomy Season 21, Episode 1
A new season of Grey’s Anatomy has rarely been boring or predictable and this season is also likely to not be an exception. With the last season ending with Catherine firing some of the best doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial, the first episode of this season is very likely to pick up that storyline.
Moreover, the drama that is to unfold between Catherine and Meredith will also be fun to watch. Since both of them are headstrong, they are presumably going to be butting heads over various things, including Meredith’s research and her attempt to reinstate Owen, Amelia, and Teddy.
This season is also possibly going to explore Catherine’s villainous era, as her complicated relationships threaten everyone in the hospital, especially when she states that she will replace everyone, resulting in Miranda Bailey coming forward and challenging her.
The first 20 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy can be streamed on Netflix and Hulu. Netflix generally adds Grey’s Anatomy to their list after the wrapping up of a season and the same is expected for season 21.
