(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) ABC has renewed the iconic television series 'Grey's Anatomy' for its 21st season. It will be Meg Marinis' second season as showrunner, having taken over the programme at the end of the 19th season following Krista Vernoff's departure. The revelation comes just as the show's 20th season, which had been delayed due to last year's Hollywood writers and actors' strike, returned to television screens last month.

Shonda Rhimes conceived and executive produced the medical drama. The Hollywood Reporter quoted Rhimes as saying, "The loyalty and love of Grey's Anatomy fans has propelled us into a historic 21st season, and I could not be more grateful."
