Fans are over the moon to find out they will not have to wait long after season 17 of Grey's Anatomy ends to see the highly anticipated season 18! Previously, rumors circulated that the hit Shonda Rhimes series would end on the 17th season but luckily it was confirmed that there will be a full season 18. 

Grey's Anatomy Season 18

Season 18 of Grey's will premiere on September 30th at 9 pm! The 17th season is still running so we will not have to wait long to get back into the hospital! 

Grey's Anatomy was the first show to accurately portray the coronavirus pandemic on screen. The series has been realistically showing the conditions of hospitals in the throes of the pandemic. Star "Dr. Meredith Grey" has been fighting off the virus herself, falling into a coma.

Fans were relieved to find out Meredith survived the worst of the very real virus. On top of that, many relationships have gone through great change for countless reasons like "Maggi" and "Winstons" sweet beach wedding and "Owen" and "Teddy's" dramatic split after catching her cheating and their odd but mature new friendship. 

Sadly, we also said goodbye to two major characters that will surely be shaking up the next season. "Andrew DeLuca" tragically died while "Meredith" was in a coma and "Jackson" moved to Boston. 

We can't wait to find out what happens next!
