Showrunner Krista Vernoff, who is returning for her sixth season in the role, added, “Grey’s Anatomy has a global impact that can’t be overstated. Grey’s touches, and sometimes changes, hearts and minds worldwide through the depth of connection people feel with these characters.†News of the Grey’s renewal comes ahead of its midseason premiere on February 24.
