The series is unlikely to receive a swift cancellation which will leave fans without storyline resolutions, but that doesn’t mean that all parties won’t simply decide that the Season 17 finale is the best place to wrap everything up.
Until we know more about the future of Grey’s Anatomy, be sure to keep up with the show when it returns with new episodes this Thursday, March 11, at 9 p.m. EST.
I cannot imagine that ABC would be at all eager to let a guaranteed breadwinner like Grey’s Anatomy go without a serious fight, so it seems a lot like Ellen Pompeo’s participation as Meredith Grey is what might be the true deciding factor as to whether or not the show keeps going into Season 18.
