'Grey's Anatomy' Season 18: Air time, how to live stream, cast and all you need to know about ABC's medical drama
'Grey's Anatomy' Season 17 was perhaps one of the most fraught seasons in recent memory, for fans and show creators alike. The fate of the show hung in the balance for the majority of Season 17, with even showrunner Krista Vernoff unsure whether the season finale would also be the long-running medical drama's finale as well. Season 17 also saw the exit of many beloved characters such as Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams), Tom Koracick (Greg Germann) and Andrew DeLuca (Giacomo Gianniotti).
But it now seems much to the relief of fans, that Season 18 is confirmed and with contracts renewed for Ellen Pompeo, Chandra Wilson and James Pickens Jr., 'Grey's Anatomy' is just what the doctor ordered in a world that is still adjusting to the new normal.
