In a new interview, Ellen Pompeo dropped some harsh truth on television fans.
She said this upcoming season of Grey's Anatomy may finally be it for the iconic medical drama.
In case you haven't heard, there's a global pandemic out there.
This has affected every facet of life in every state across the nation.
The doctors are about to be back in on ABC.
Insiders have confirmed to Variety that Grey's Anatomy will resume production on Season 17 later this month, following a lengthy hiatus as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
At some point, Grey's Anatomy's fans, it's gonna happen.
At some point, ourr lives will once again be graced with our favorite small screen doctors and all the beloved drama that has been associated with them for going on two decades now.
Ellen Pompeo isn't a doctor, but she plays one on TV. After 16 seasons of it, she's very good at it.
A lot of Grey's Anatomy stars from the early years have moved on -- but Ellen explains the very simple reason why she has stayed with the show.
As we already reported, Season 17 of Grey's Anatomy will be a little different than planned, in light of the pandemic.
Now, the show is delving into the ways that COVID-19 is shaping not only the production, but the story itself.
It may not have been the initial plan, but it remains where we are:
Grey's Anatomy Season 16 has come and gone.
With Grey's Anatomy canceling production on the remainder of Season 16, Thursday's earlier season finale had all the drama you would expect from a finale of this medical drama.
Taking center stage in this installment was the desperate battle to save Richard's life, Teddy's affair with Owen, and even the birth of Amelia and Link's baby.
It was all hands on deck to save Richard's life on Thursday's Grey's Anatomy, and as expected, there were some complications.
Catherine brought her estranged husband back to Seattle in a private jet, and wasted no time in hurling demands at those closest to him.
ABC has some bad, albeit understandable, news for fans:
Grey's Anatomy will not film any new Season 16 episodes.
Is it the beginning of the end for Dr. Richard Weber?
Thursday's explosive episode of Grey's Anatomy was a tough one for longtime fans because it seemingly set up an exit for the character.
Did DeLuca just peace out of Grey's Anatomy?
Thursday's episode of this long in the tooth medical drama was an hour worth watching.
Grey's Anatomy did not kill off Alex Karev.
Based on the show's history of writing off veteran characters, this came as a big surprise on Thursday night when the series revealed the fate of Alex Chambers' beloved doctor.
Viewers had a major reason to be concerned about Alex Karev.
So did all of his friends at Grey Sloan Memorial. Oh, and we can't forget about his wife, who has seemed like a mere afterthought ever since he decided to skip town.
Now that we know Alex is getting a farewell episode of Grey's Anatomy, Thursday's episode delivered another shock announcement about the M.I.A. character.
If you watch Grey's Anatomy online, you know that Alex told Jo he was living with his mother while she was sick. While that reason was a good one, there have been seeds of doubt in Jo's mind ever since he left.
Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy concluded with one couple on the outs and another layer to the "where the eff is Alex?" mystery.
Meredith was worried about DeLuca because of the way he was acting in the mission to save Suzanne's life.
Just about a month ago, Justin Chambers shocked television fans.
The actor announced that he wasn't just leaving Grey's Anatomy after having starred on the ABC drama since its very first episode...
There were more fireworks than ever on Thursday's Grey's Anatomy.
There were baby bombshells, family drama, and a shocking revelation about Alex Karev.
The relationship breakdown between Catherine and Richard continued on Thursday's explosive episode of Grey's Anatomy.
The pair have been at odds for some time now, so it was only a matter of time before they made a decision about their future.
Grey's Anatomy Season 16 Episode 11 kicked off with Meredith getting closer to the new Irish doctor her BFF Cristina sent for her.
And it concluded with Meredith questioning her feelings for DeLuca.
