Fans of ABC’s TGIT are in for a treat as the network has announced it’s renewing three Shondaland favorites: Grey’s Anatomy, Station 19, and How to Get Away with Murder.
What’s happening:
- ABC has renewed Grey’s Anatomy for two additional seasons (Seasons 16 and 17).
- In addition, ABC has renewed Station 19 for a third season and How to Get Away with Murder for a sixth season.
- Executive producer and showrunner Krista Vernoff will helm both Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19
What they’re saying:
- Krista Vernoff, executive producer and showrunner for Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19: “I’m thrilled to continue at the helm of Grey’s Anatomy, and I’m honored and energized by the opportunity to run Station 19, as well. To expand upon the world Stacy McKee created, and further merge it with the world of Grey’s, is an exciting challenge.”
- Shonda Rhimes and producing partner Betsy Beers in a joint statement: “Everyone at Shondaland is thrilled that our fans’ commitment to TGIT continues. We are so proud of Krista and Pete and the work they do. Making the choice to have Krista oversee Station 19 was easy — the creativity she brings to the Grey’s Anatomy universe continues a tradition of storytelling we hold dear.”
