Grey’s Anatomy season 18: The sequel is ordered with an increase for Ellen Pompeo the Covid-19 will not have got the better of Grey’s Anatomy! As the end of Season 17 draws closer, fans were starting to panic that the medical series would end. But this will not be the case: this Monday, May 10, 2021, the ABC channel that broadcasts the series in the US announced that it was indeed ordering a season 18 without Jesse Williams but with a nice salary increase for Ellen Pompeo. And since good news never comes alone, the channel has also decided to give a season 5 to the spin-off, Station 19. Champagne!
Grey’s Anatomy Season 18 Renewal Updates
But where will Grey’s Anatomy end? It is already the longest-running medical series in the history of television and is not going to stop there! For weeks, the team has been casting doubt on a possible end to season 17 but, according to rumors, the renewal was on track. It’s now official and even better: season 18 which has just been ordered is not (yet) considered the last!
Season 18 for Grey’s Anatomy with a nice increase for Ellen Pompeo
If Grey’s Anatomy lost two of its actors in season 17, the medical series will therefore be back for a season 18 broadcast for the 2021/2022 season on ABC in the United States. The show’s channel and production managed to strike a deal with Ellen Pompeo, the lead actress who is also one of the producers. Already the highest-paid female star on the small screen (with an estimated salary of $ 550,000 per episode), the interpreter of Meredith Gray would have managed to negotiate a nice increase, specifies The Hollywood Reporter.
And she wouldn’t be the only one: the site says Chandra Wilson(Miranda Bailey) and James Pickens Jr (Richard Webber), the two other actors present since the first episode, would also have been entitled to a nice increase for future episodes. The exact amounts have not been released at this time.
Grey’s Anatomy Season 18 details
Grey’s Anatomy isn’t the only series making a comeback on ABC. The channel has already renewed Good Doctor for a season 5 and has also just given the green light for a season 5 of Station 19 . The spin-off with Jason George (Ben), Jaina Lee Ortiz or even Gray Damon gave us a season 4 strong in twists after a season 3 on fire . The Seattle firefighters will therefore be able to continue and we are almost as happy to learn of this renewal as that of Grey’s Anatomy !
