TV magic. Grey’s Anatomy is scheduled to hit some other sequence milestone with the season 18 finale: Four hundred episodes!
“It’s going to be a lovely big match, I believe,” showrunner Krista Vernoff informed TVLine during the Savannah College of Art and Design TV Fest on Wednesday, February 16.
Fans would possibly remember that the show’s 200th episode came about all over season 10 and featured the medical doctors dressed up for a wild fundraiser. During season 14, the three hundredth episode paid tribute to many past characters. When it comes to the theme of this milestone, alternatively, Vernoff didn’t give away too much.
“No, we’re not doing a black-and-white movie musical,” the 50-year-old screenwriter said with a laugh after the Golden Age of the silver screen used to be thrown out as a proposal.
Vernoff, who has been a creator and manufacturer at the scientific drama since its 2005 start, famous that hitting 400 episodes this season is contingent upon their capturing agenda — and the continued coronavirus pandemic.
“I in truth assume that the final episode of our season will be 400, if there are no further COVID delays and we don’t end up losing an episode,” she defined. “That’s a big ‘if.’”
Should season 18 get minimize short because of COVID-19 delays, the long-running ABC sequence will make it to the episode milestone next season. The community announced the early renewal of the hit show last month.
“I couldn’t be more excited that we get to keep telling the stories of Meredith, Bailey, Richard and the entire different docs at Grey Sloan Memorial for another season,” Grey’s creator Shonda Rhimes said in a remark in January. “This is a real testomony to [showrunner] Krista Vernoff, the forged, the staff and all of the writers who keep the target audience at the edge of their seat week after week. And it could not be conceivable with out the generations of incredible enthusiasts who've supported Grey’s Anatomy for such a lot of years.”
ABC confirmed on the time that stars Ellen Pompeo, Chandra Wilson and James Pickens Jr. are all set to return for season 19.
The news got here as a marvel to a couple as 52-year-old Pompeo, who has played Dr. Meredith Grey since its inception, has not too long ago been vocal about wanting to wrap up her time on the show.
“I’ve been trying to concentrate on convincing everyone that it must finish,” the Old School actress told Insider in December 2021. “I believe like I’m the super naive person who assists in keeping announcing, ‘But what’s the tale going to be, what tale are we going to tell?’ And everyone’s like, ‘Who cares, Ellen? It makes a gazillion bucks.'”
Rhimes, for her section, revealed to Variety in November 2021 that she’s already “written the end” of Grey’s Anatomy “a good 8 times” but the display has persisted to flourish past each tale line.
“I used to be like, ‘And that will be the end!’ Or, ‘That’ll be the final thing that’s ever said or finished!’ And all of those things have already happened,” the Inventing Anna writer, 52, mentioned on the time. “So I surrender on that, you realize what I mean?”

When the time comes to finish Grey’s, Rhimes noted that it will be on her shoulders, not the longtime showrunner Vernoff. “Am I the one who decides when the display is over? Yes. And I take complete responsibility for that when or if everybody gets mad at me.” she added.
Season 18 of Grey’s Anatomy returns on ABC Thursday, February 24 at Nine p.m. ET.
