Notes and Trivia

ABC officially renewed Grey's Anatomy for its fourteenth season on February 10, 2017.
Production was scheduled to start July 17, 2017 and wrap in April 2018.
On April 28, 2017, veteran writer Krista Vernoff announced that she'd be returning to the show for season fourteen. She will also serve as co-showrunner with William Harper.
A 30-second ad during an episode of this season costs advertisers $184,273.
This season features the 300th episode of Grey's Anatomy.
According to Krista Vernoff, this season has 12 writers, out of which 8 are women, including new writers Kiley Donovan, Marlana Hope, and Air Force veteran Jalysa Conway.
This is the first season since her introduction in season nine not to feature Jerrika Hinton as Stephanie Edwards. With her departure, there were as many current main cast members as there are departed.
This season features episodes with storylines related to modern-day topics:
- Megan Hunt's story arc with Farouk develops a plot about foreign people's rights in the United States.
- 1-800-799-7233 deals with domestic violence, and the struggles of trans people.
- Jackson's medical project is going to further explore the struggles of trans individuals.

This is the final season of Grey's Anatomy to be part of the original TGIT line-up with Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder as Scandal will end with its seventh season. It remains unknown to date if the 2018-19 television season will continue TGIT with another series taking Scandal's place.
- Given the fact that Shonda Rhimes has signed a deal with Netflix, this replacement show will likely be the new ShondaLand drama For the People or Station 19 if either of them is renewed, or a series not created by Shonda Rhimes.
The poster for this season features Meredith and the other three remaining originals (Alex, Bailey, and Richard), marking the first time since season seven that these people are featured on a promotional poster with Meredith. It also marks the first time since season twelve that Meredith is not on the poster by herself.

- (Don't Fear) the Reaper focuses on Miranda Bailey, featuring only Richard Webber, Ben Warren, and Maggie Pierce besides her.
