Post-Notes
In case you missed it, Grey’s Anatomy will be on a mid-season break with no new episodes until early March 2025.
It won’t be the same for some who just left the set of Sloan Grey midway through Season 21 but again, the show’s writers provided a proper ending ahead of the show’s yearly mid-season hiatus (there wasn’t one last year due to the strikes).
We begin with Jake Borelli whose character Levi Schmitt headed off to Texas after he appeared on Grey’s for over 100 episodes. Meanwhile, Midori Francis – as we know it – decided to move on after two seasons amid Mika’s unfortunate circumstances that to the death of her sister Chloe following their car crash.
For now, there’s still more Grey’s Anatomy to come before we will find out whether if they will get a series a series renewal or not at some point depending on their current time slot off the back on a wave of Ryan Murphy scripted shows like 9-1-1 and Doctor Odyssey as well as a possible new 9-1-1 Hawaii spin-off.
