Grey's Anatomy fans rejoice! ABC’s hit medical drama series is officially returning with Season 18. Due to COVID-19, the previous season’s episodes were cut short, and now, the upcoming season might also not have many episodes.
While the last season focused on telling the stories of brave frontline heroes and fan-favorite character Meredith Grey fighting the deadly virus, Grey's Anatomy season 18 will be about life after the pandemic and how it affected their relationships at work and at home. Plus, the show will have multiple crossover episodes with its spin-off firefighters’ series, Station 19.
When and where will Grey's Anatomy Season 18 premiere?
Grey's Anatomy Season 18 is set to premiere on Thursday, September 30 at 9.00 pm on ABC. It will air as a crossover episode with Station 19 Season 5.
Viewers can watch the medical drama on ABC’s local station or can opt for other TV streaming services, such as Fubo TV, Hulu with Live TV, and YouTube TV. They can also stream it live via the network’s site.
The latest episodes can be watched the next day on Hulu as well.
