The show's decision to go all in on Covid-19 also affects its sister show, “Station 19.” The firefighter drama is set just a few blocks down the street from Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital. The audience is never allowed to forget how many people are dying and how helpless these doctors feel. And if anything, “Grey’s” is becoming more of an activist in its advanced age, which in this case means proving a counterbalance to the false messaging that this virus is somehow fading away.
“We have an opportunity to help drive home the costs to the medical community,” Vernoff said recently.

The loves and lives of these characters have always balanced out the increasingly heavy hospital scenarios.īut as showrunner Krista Vernoff, who took over the series in Season 14, put it, the production felt it had a duty to dramatize the reality many Americans aren’t witnessing in their daily lives. Though it is a medical drama, “Grey’s Anatomy” has leaned heavy on romance since its inception. It would have likely been easier to spend this potential final season tying up loose ends, not least of which include the kinds of romantic entanglements that are made far more complicated by pandemic protocols. So far, ABC has not announced an extension. Star Ellen Pompeo, who plays the titular Meredith Grey, has broadly hinted Season 17 will be the show’s last, as her contract (and the series with it) is expiring. “Grey's” could have followed suit, building a world that was semi-separate and hopefully less bleak than ours. Others, like the just returned “This Is Us,” take a more pragmatic approach, adding details from “the new normal” (masks, social distancing, grocery deliveries) but otherwise sticking to the original storyline. “The Masked Singer,” for example, went so far as to edit in footage of audiences watching performances unmasked to give the impression of normalcy.
Though the “ socially distanced, Zoom based” pandemic shows get headlines - like “ Coastal Elites” and “ Love In The Time Of Corona” - most have decided that escapism is preferable to realism.

Though such a choice might feel like a no-brainer for a medical show, other series appear to be struggling with how to address the current state of the world.
