Three ABC shows just got bigger seasons. Grey's Anatomy, black-ish and American Housewife all got extra episodes for this season, the network announced today. The shows' current seasons will now run 24 episodes instead of 22.

Grey's is now in its 14th season and will mark its 300th episode this season, notes Deadline. While similar serialized shows like NBC's This Is Us and Shonda Rhimes' other show, How To Get Away With Murder, have brought lower episode counts to the broadcast networks, Grey's continues to have super-sized seasons. Aside from its nine-episode freshman season, every year has had 24 to 25 episodes.
