How long is winter hiatus

Meanwhile, Eddie worries Christopher will not accept him dating, Buck reconnects with an old flame and finds himself in the middle of Albert's new relationship. Yep; it sounds like it has all the makings of a winter finale, but what about Lone Star?

Originally, it was planned to return on March 4, but the mid-season premiere was pushed back another week. This season of Grey's Anatomy has been tackling the coronavirus pandemic head-on. Both the season's on-screen storylines and behind-the-scenes production have been affected by the pandemic and the show's writers have taken into account real-life world events as they've been creating this season.

But just when things turned even more suspenseful in the latest episode , the ABC medical show decided to take a break starting in late December — which means, sadly, there will not be new episodes of Grey's Anatomy for a few weeks.

If it seems like the new season of Grey's just started , it's because it essentially has — it only premiered in early November, and there have only been a total of six episodes since then!

Still, it's not unusual for shows to go on a hiatus this time of year. Unfortunately, it'll be quite a bit until we can reunite with the doctors over at Grey-Sloan and find out what happens with Meredith!
