Is Gray's anatomy finally approaching the end?

The prime-time television shows on Thursday may very well have been touched by some of the milestones at the start of the day. (Who knows – at least 11 million people may have switched off their screens early in prime time). The anatomy of Gray The number of viewers dropped to double digits on Thursday, when the season 15 premiere was launched well short of last year's first game. Given this, and star Ellen Pompeo Recent clues about a possible exit, it seems that the beloved medical drama could be close to its natural conclusion.

By Variety, Thursday of two hours Gray's The first average was 1.9 and 6.8 million viewers. The first of last year attracted an audience of 8.1 million people. Thursday How to get away from murder, which aired after Gray's, also fell in the audience.

Considering how many years Gray's has been on the air, his ratings are still quite remarkable – but despite everything, his star has given us good reason to believe that it could be endangered. Talk with Weekly entertainment, Pompeo said that although she would not make such an announcement without speaking with the designer Shonda Rhimes, she East ready for a change. (The magazine also noted that his contract only extends in season 16.)

"I feel like we have told the majority of the stories we can tell," said Pompeo. "I was really excited to come back with [executive producer] Krista Vernoff again because we started the series together, so ending the series together is really appropriate. Shonda trusts Krista. So I'm always Shonda's instincts, and she's always right. (Vernoff has been working on the series since its creation until 2011. She returned in 2017.)

Beyond feeling as if Gray's could have followed his course in a narrative perspective, Pompeo added: "I'm really excited to do new things. it's time to mix it up, and I'm really excited about my career as a producer, and I'm definitely looking for a change. My children are getting older, so I want to be more available to them now. I can not be an absent mom if they are teenagers – I have to be there to whip their buttocks.

"So it's really time to change my life," continued Pompeo. "I'm really looking forward to it and that's the beauty of my situation. I definitely played it for all I could. I gave him 200% of my energy and my love, my time, my commitment and my dedication. I still fight every day so that all that surrounds this show – the quality of the show, the narration – I always fight for all that I can, so that the quality is good, so that the actors are happy, well received or not. I still care a lot about the series and I think it takes a lot of energy. So, at some point, I have to conclude. As long as the series continues to attract a large number of people, ABC will probably not want to close the hospital. But if the numbers are down and Pompeo feels good? It's a different story.
