: “I mean, this is the last year of my contract right now. I don’t know that this is the last year? But it could very well could be.”that she was going to plan “for both contingencies” of a season and series finale, and that not knowing the show’s future wasIn Pompeo’s new contract, she will remain the highest paid female actor on television. She’s also a producer of “Grey’s.”
Both “Grey’s” and “Station 19” have been set in the world of the pandemic this season, and have illustrated how frontline workers have tackled COVID-19. Early on in “Grey’s,” Meredith contracted COVID-19, and for much of the season, she drifted in and out of consciousness, illustrated by sequences on a beach in which she wasof them. She saw her late husband, Derek , her friends George and DeLuca , and her sister, Lexie .
“‘Station 19’ and ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ have done an incredible job of honoring real-life heroes by giving audiences an unflinching look at one of the biggest medical stories of our time,” said Craig Erwich, president, Hulu Originals & ABC Entertainment. “Krista and her team of writers have continued to deliver the compelling and compassionate storytelling that is a hallmark of these shows, and created some of the year’s most-talked-about moments in television.
When “Grey’s Anatomy” premiered on ABC in 2005 — having been created by Shonda Rhimes — no one expected it to become the longest-running primetime medical drama in TV history. It outlasted both “MASH” and “ER” , the previous record-holder. From the start, the show’s inclusive casting, in which BIPOC actors played doctors in positions of power at the Seattle hospital where the show is set, changed popular culture.
