Ellen Pompeo's titular MD may have been at the heart of Grey's Anatomy since the very outset almost two decades ago, but other beloved doctors such as Cristina Yang (played by Sandra Oh) and Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) have been and gone before, with the show remaining a popular fixture on the TV calendar.
To fill the void (if such a thing is possible for such a beloved character), the Grey's Anatomy writers brought in a crop of new characters during season 19, who have had their own melodrama happening this season.
It's through these interns' eyes that we see life move on at the hospital, and showrunner Meg Marinis says that the show is going "back to basics" for season 20, with the usual dose of complex personal problems, intertwined with traumatizing medical emergencies.
Due to last year's industry strikes, season 20 is a short run – just 10 episodes, with 5 having aired before the mid-season break and the same number still to come. And to make sure that you don't miss a minute, keep reading our guide on how to watch Grey’s Anatomy online from absolutely anywhere.

ABC is available on most cable plans and OTT cable replacements alike.
Sling TV is one of the best value streaming services available for cord cutters. Starting from just $40 per month, you'll get your first month half-price when you sign up today. Sling's Blue plan it carries local ABC channels, but only in select locations. So we suggest you double check that your locality is covered before you sign up.
Fubo is a more comprehensive option, hosting ABC among its 100+ channels. It's pricier, however, starting from $79.99 a month. But at least there's a FREE 7-day trial, you can try if you haven't had the service before.

How many episodes are in season 20 of Grey's Anatomy?
The 20th season of Grey's Anatomy comprises of just 10 episodes, split in to two parts. The first five episodes are available now and the back half begins on May 2.
The reason for the shortened series – the prior two seasons had 20 episodes each – is the Hollywood writers' strike of 2023.
It will therefore be the shortest series of Grey's Anatomy since the very first season back in 2005, which had nine.
