New season begins with uncertainty

Since October 15, 2026, Meredith Grey, played by Ellen Pompeo, and her colleagues have returned to the American network ABC for the 23rd season of the medical and romantic series Grey's Anatomy.

French broadcast timeline unclear

It is unknown when the 23rd season will be broadcast in France on TF1, the 22nd season having been shown between April 15 and June 10, 2026, in prime time.

Possibility of no 24th season

It is possible that a 24th season may never be produced, according to recent statements from the showrunner, which caused concern among fans of this long-running series.

Uncertainty about season length

The showrunner mentioned that the number of episodes for the 23rd season "had not even been confirmed," even though two of them have already been broadcast on television.

Production facing restrictions

Production teams are facing significant restrictions behind the scenes. While American specialized press expected 18 episodes for this season, only 13 have been announced at this stage.

New character sparks conflict

This 23rd season started on a fast track with the introduction of surgeon Seth Norton, who joined the team in Seattle and quickly entered a conflict with Meredith due to their very different views on the profession.

Seth Norton's rise in the hospital

Seth Norton, a conceited man, even became the head of the surgery department at Grey Sloan, creating tension with Meredith.

Meredith's engagement status unclear

Meredith's lack of a ring on her finger also caused talk: were her engagements with Nick canceled? According to Meg Marinis, the engagements are still current, and Meredith never really wore a ring, even when she was with Derek.
