About the series

This successful television series is about surgeons in a hospital in Seattle. They do surgeries on patients with different health issues which are hard to solve. Even with their busy lives, the doctors become good friends and sometimes even fall in love with each other.

The American show was created by Shonda Rhimes. It was mostly filmed in Los Angeles, California and has been shown on ABC since March 27, 2005.[2]

The series has had much success with 19 seasons and 421 episodes. A new twentieth season started showing on March 14, 2024.[3] The TV show won a Golden Globe Award in 2007 for the best dramatic TV series, and it also has been awarded two nominations at the Emmy Awards for the same reason.[4] This dramatic medical comedy has been produced in many languages and countries, like Belgium, France, and Switzerland.

Grey’s Anatomy got its name from a textbook by Henry Gray, written in 1858, which reached its 40th edition in 2008. The title of the text is Anatomy of the Human Body. It has many surgical applications and is a medicinal classic of the human anatomy.[5]
