According to The Hollywood Reporter, Dana Walden, chairman of entertainment at Walt Disney Television stated, “Grey’s Anatomy is a true phenomenon, beloved by audiences around the world. Whether they catch it live on ABC, or stream it on Hulu or globally on Disney+ or Star+, it’s clear that fans can’t get enough of Shonda Rhimes’ brilliant creation.”

Further adding, “We have enormous faith in Shonda, Krista Vernoff, Ellen Pompeo, and the entire creative team to unlock new, untold stories that will continue to focus on modern medicine, tackle the issues that shape the world around us, and resonate deeply with loyal fans for years to come.”

Greys’ Anatomy Season 19 Potential Release Date

The series renewal was officially announced by ABC on January 10, 2022. Moreover, Season 18 will soon air its finale episode, You Are the Blood, which will be released on May 26, 2022, at the time slot of 8 p.m. ET on ABC. So, asking for an official release date for Grey’s Anatomy Season 19 seems a little early. If we have to guess, looking at the pattern of prior seasons, the upcoming season will most likely premiere sometime around late 2022 which is the fall of this year. Many fans are predicting the range of months which may differ from September to November for the potential release of the upcoming season.

Moreover, we would like to highlight that at this point in time this is just speculation so the viewers need to wait for some time for the network to officially confirm the release date. The series’ renewal before the end of Season 18 is a good indication, signaling that the following season’s development was already in the works ahead of time. So, viewers may not have to wait long because the series’ production appears to be pre-planned in a scheduled manner. Hence, we suggest the viewers wait patiently for some time as these updates will be confirmed by the network in the near future without facing any major delays.
