How many episodes will Grey's Anatomy season 20 have?

The plot of Grey's Anatomy season 20

Season 20 starts with Meredith Grey reevaluating her plans after causing chaos in the season 19 finale. After a patient's death, the interns are in hot water, but Simone and Lucas step up when an emergency hits. Richard opens up to Bailey, Teddy's fate is revealed, and Bailey sets strict requirements for the interns to return to the OR.

Amelia solves a tricky surgery, Meredith and Amelia hustle for research funding, and Amelia clashes with a new attending. Levi reunites with someone from his past, Owen gives Winston some advice, and Dr. Arizona Robbins returns to Grey Sloan for a complex case. The interns face scrutiny for their past mistakes.

Teddy is eager to return to work after a post-health scare, and the hospital is thrown into chaos when a group of medical students are injured at a party. Jo and Link discuss their future, Jules confronts Winston, Mika, and Teddy, who treat a patient from a penitentiary, Catherine challenges a treatment plan, and Bailey focuses on wellness in the residency program.

Grey's Anatomy season 20's official synopsis, as per Rotten Tomatoes, reads,

"This high-intensity medical drama follows a team of doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital who are faced with life-or-death decisions on a daily basis. They seek comfort from one another, and, at times, more than just friendship. Together they discover that neither medicine nor relationships can be defined in black and white."

Meg Marinis, the showrunner, mentioned to Deadline during the SeriesFest event in Denver, Colorado,

“Heading towards the end of the season, because it’s a shorter season of 10 episodes because of the strikes, we really pay off what we started in episode one at the end of the season. Interns being in trouble, Meredith doing this secret research, things come to a head.”

Notable events to look forward to are the comeback of fan-favorite character Dr. Arizona Robbins (played by Jessica Capshaw) and some new storylines and characters.


As season 20 comes to an end, the show has been renewed to keep going for at least one more season.
