At Grey Sloan Memorial, surviving a shift can be as complicated as surviving a relationship. ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ has spent more than two decades mixing surgery with romance, rivalry, and disaster. Season 23 brings Ellen Pompeo back as Dr. Meredith Grey for the premiere. Here’s when viewers can clock in for new episodes on ABC and Hulu.

When does ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Season 23 come out?

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Season 23 premieres Thursday, October 15, at 10 p.m. ET / 9 p.m. CT on ABC. The opening episode is titled ‘Collide.’ New episodes will continue to air on Thursdays in the same time slot. The premiere follows ‘9-1-1’ and ‘9-1-1: Nashville’ in ABC’s evening lineup.

The episode brings an airport emergency to Grey Sloan Memorial, coinciding with the opening of a VIP floor. Its official logline reads: “After a collision at Sea-Tac sends a surge of critically injured patients to Grey Sloan, the unveiling of its controversial new VIP floor is thrown into chaos as doctors race to save lives amid impossible choices.”
