US medical drama Grey’s Anatomy has become the longest-running primetime drama in ABC history following the announcement that the network has renewed the show for a 15th season.
Only seven dramas in the history of television have had more seasons.
Speaking at the announcement of the news Channing Dungey, President of ABC Entertainment, said, "Grey’s Anatomy has a special place in my heart and millions of viewers feel the same way.
"Thanks to fiercely loyal fans who have been on this journey since the beginning, and new generations of viewers who continue to discover the joy and drama of Grey Sloan Memorial, the show is as strong as ever."
The 14th season of the show, which has aired on RTÉ television since its first season, was ABC’s No. 1 drama among Adults 18-49, ranking among the Top 5 broadcast series on TV, and is tied with ABC’s The Good Doctor as the No. 2 broadcast drama.
The Golden Globe and Emmy winning drama follows Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) and the team of doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial, who are faced with life-or-death decisions on a daily basis.
