While the twentieth season has only just started in the United States, the ABC channel has just announced that it is renewing its flagship series for a new season. It will be the 21st, making “Grey’s Anatomy” the longest-running prime-time medical series in the history of American television.
21 seasons and… More than 400 episodes on the clock! The doors of Gray Sloan Memorial Hospital will therefore remain open. ABC has just announced that it is renewing its flagship series for a 21st season, making
Grey's Anatomy
the longest-running prime-time medical series in the history of American television. For comparison,
Emergency
, which revealed George Clooney to the whole world, ended after 15 seasons and 331 episodes.

A safe bet for TV channels
However, Grey's Anatomy
fans
had some scares. Season 20 has only just started in the United States, due to the writers' and actors' strike in Hollywood, which completely paralyzed the filming of numerous series and films. The first episodes attracted an average of 3.5 million viewers in total across the Atlantic, following in the footsteps of season 19. On the other hand, less luck for the spin-off of
Grey's Anatomy
.
Station 19
will end next May after “only” seven seasons.

A sure bet, the medical show continues to be broadcast on TF1 in France and often tops TV audiences. But be careful, the new season of the medical series could well differ from the last ones broadcast. On April 2,
Deadline
revealed that ABC would have to renegotiate the contracts of certain actors who had been present for many years, because they were ending at the end of season 20. If the negotiations went wrong, could this lead to a exodus of historic actors from
Grey's Anatomy
? According to the media
Diverto
, doubt is allowed.
