Grey’s Anatomy Season 20 Release Date: When will it premiere on ABC?
Even though the series was renewed for a twentieth season for the fall broadcast season, it seems like there has been a halt due to the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike along with the commencement of the SAG-AFTRA strike, which makes it highly doubtful whether the creators will be able to release the new season for ABC’s 2023–24 fall broadcasting season.
The network also recently announced that its fall 2023 schedule would now include almost entirely non-scripted shows and that most of their scripted shows would be rescheduled to premiere next year for the 2024 mid-season.
After looking at the current status of the show’s pre-production stage, it is pretty much clear to say that the filming of the series is at a complete standstill as the writing of the new scripts has been put on hold, so there is no chance that the crew will go forward with filming the episodes.
As a result, this will cause a major delay in production, which usually commences around the summer season only if the network wants to release the series in the fall season. In conclusion, if we consider all the above-stated reasons, then the chances of the new season’s premiere in 2023 seem bleak.
We certainly think it would be ideal for the show creators to avoid any unnecessary delays and commence the work once the ongoing dispute reaches a mutual agreement, which will be favorable if the release window is set sometime around 2024! Until there is any confirmation, we speculate it will premiere at the same time slot ( 9 p.m. ET) on ABC, which will later be available to stream on Hulu.
We’ll just have to wait and see what the future holds! In conclusion, any updates relating to this subject are just pure conjecture, as the comments should be considered with a grain of salt. So, we recommend readers follow the official ABC social handles to catch up with all the new updates and developments whenever they are published.
Grey’s Anatomy Season 20 Plot: What to expect from the new season?
Though it is far too early to predict forthcoming storylines, hence the new season is likely to maintain the show’s theme, which elaborates on the personal and professional lives of the doctors at Seattle’s Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital as a high-intensity medical drama where the team of doctors faces life-or-death decisions daily. They seek comfort from one another and, at times, more than just friendship. The plot of the 20th season is also expected to pick up the plotlines and character arcs right where the 19th season left off.
So, if you have streamed the last season, then you’ll know that the final episode, “Happily Ever After?” which was directed by Debbie Allen and written by Meg Marinis, ended on a major note, where the viewers got to see Nick and Meredith open their hearts to each other. Bailey gets the recognition she deserves as Link and Jo share an affectionate moment. Later, viewers learn that Teddy’s life hangs by a thread. So, it is pretty evident that the next season will develop the story from this moment on. Take a look at the official teaser for the final episode to learn what transpired in the episode below:
