Real talk: Dr. Meredith Grey is the heart and soul of Grey's Anatomy. The medical drama even has her name in the title! But members of the original 2005 cast have exited the series one by one - most recently Justin Chambers, who played the beloved Dr. Alex Karev. With these departures, there's one burning question on all our minds: will Ellen Pompeo ever leave Grey's? Production on season 16 of Grey's is being halted to slow down the coronavirus pandemic, but it doesn't look like Pompeo or the series is permanently leaving the air anytime soon.
In May 2019, ABC greenlit Grey's Anatomy for two more seasons, which means we're at least getting a season 17. Pompeo is not only the series's lead actress, but she's also a producer on the show and its spinoff series, Station 19. Shonda Rhimes, the series creator, has noted that Grey's will continue as long as Pompeo wants it to continue.
