'Grey's Anatomy: Season 16'

Netflix is helping to take viewers into the halls of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. On Saturday, May 9, Season 16 of ABC's popular medical drama Grey's Anatomy will be stocked in the streaming library, meaning that subscribers will be able to binge every season.

Fans of Grey's will know that Season 16 was a bit of a bumpy road for the drama. Along with the departure of Justin Chamber's Dr. Alex Karev, whose send-off sparked plenty of controversy among the fanbase, the season was cut short. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, production was forced to end early, with only 21 hours of the season completed. That means that the intended season finale never made it to air.
