11 Shows Grey’s Anatomy Fans Will Love

With just a couple episodes left in Grey’s Anatomy Season 17, fans finally got the long-awaited news they’d hoped for: the ABC medical drama will be back this fall. The three remaining original cast members — Ellen Pompeo (Meredith Grey), Chandra Wilson (Miranda Bailey), and James Pickens Jr. (Richard Webber) — are all confirmed to return for more high-stakes surgeries and complicated love stories, though recent episodes have revealed the exits of beloved characters including Andrew DeLuca (Giacomo Gianniotti) and Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams).

“The writers, directors, casts and crews of Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19 worked so hard to bring these shows to life this past season,” showrunner Krista Vernoff said in a May 10 statement via TVLine. “Keeping each other safe on set while paying tribute to the front-line heroes and first responders has been a challenge and a privilege. I’ve been truly blown away — particularly by our tireless crews — as they reinvented the TV-making wheel. Thank you to ABC and ABC Signature for the support and extraordinary partnership through this unprecedented season. We are so grateful for the opportunity to tell more stories.”

Despite the good news, fans will soon be without any new episodes as the show heads into a long summer break. Here are some other shows like Grey’s Anatomy to watch in the meantime.

Though other A-list talent joined the series later on, the original cast included stars such as George Clooney, Julianna Margulies, Noah Wyle, Anthony Edwards, and Eriq La Salle.
