The doctors of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital are making their way to a new streaming home. After years of exclusively streaming on Netflix, all past seasons of Grey’s Anatomy will be available to stream on Hulu this spring amid the March 2024 launch of the bundled Hulu and Disney+ app.

The shakeup comes as part of a new licensing deal between Disney Entertainment and Netflix, but those currently bingeing the show on Netflix don’t need to worry about Grey’s Anatomy disappearing. As part of the deal, Hulu and Netflix will share the co-exclusive U.S. streaming rights to all previous 19 seasons of thehit ABC medical drama, which is now entering its 20th season, once again extending its record as the longest-running primetime medical drama, per TVLine. However, only Hulu will have the complete series as new in-season episodes from Season 20 will be available to stream after they air on ABC. The series will also be available on both the bundled Disney app and the standalone Hulu service.
