As every year around this time, Grey's Anatomy goes for its annual winter break and leaves its viewers waiting for a great long time before the airing of the next episode on March 6, 2025. Though entirely in keeping with its established form, this annual hiatus is expected to last a few months before viewers can return to Grey Sloan Memorial in spring.
Below is a quick summary of the medical drama show:
"Surgical interns and their supervisors embark on a medical journey where they become part of heart-wrenching stories and make life-changing decisions in order to become the finest doctors."
Here's everything you need to know about the hiatus and the show's return.
A long winter wait for Grey's Anatomy fans
The season 21 fall finale of Grey’s Anatomy airs on November 21, 2024, marking the last new episode this year. ABC has declared a lengthy break for the show between January and March 6, 2025, when the next episode is scheduled to air. This behemoth hiatus, stretching for more than three months, coincides with the programming pattern employed by the network for Thursday nights in the years prior.
Unlike most TV shows that will be back for new episodes in January, most often for just a brief holiday hiatus, Grey's Anatomy has gone with the longer winter hiatus. However, in contrast with the agony expected of fans, this extended hiatus purportedly maximizes the show's uninterrupted run from March on. This will ensure a smooth viewing experience as that season builds up to its conclusion in May.
How to cope with the hiatus
While the wait for new episodes would seem interminable, the fans could binge the huge catalog of shows while they await the arrival of the next episode. The initial eight episodes are available to stream on Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu. The latter offers a prime opportunity to recapture a missed moment or relive a favorite.
ABC already announced alternative programming to make Thursday night viewing easy enough. Some of the new shows you can enjoy are Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and the broadcast debut of Only Murders in the Building Season 2, all starting from January 2, 2025.
