Notes and Trivia
- ABC officially renewed Grey's Anatomy for its fifteenth season on April 20, 2018.
- This is the first season not to feature Jessica Capshaw, Sarah Drew, Jason George, and Martin Henderson as part of the main cast since season six, seven, and twelve, respectively.
- This is the first season since season eight to feature Kim Raver as part of the main cast. She did recur on the previous season as a guest star.
- The crew started preparing the sound stage for production on July 16, 2018.
- The table read for the premiere took place on July 26, 2018. Filming on set started on July 30.
- Krista Vernoff described this season as "The Season of Love."
- So far, all voiceovers this season are narrated by Meredith Grey with the exception of Anybody Have a Map?, which is narrated by Richard Webber.
- Ellen Pompeo will not direct an episode this season because of the extra time it requires her to be away from home. Jesse Williams will direct another episode after making his directorial debut with Fight For Your Mind last season.[1]
- A 30-second ad during this season cost advertisers $204,792.
- This season promo poster consists of two episode stills from the fourteenth season photoshopped together, with one still being from One Day Like This and the other from Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story.
- It was announced in early January 2019 that three additional scripts had been ordered (on top of the original order of twenty-two), giving the season a total of twenty-five episodes. While the extra order hadn't been made official publicly, showrunner Krista Vernoff already knew at the beginning of the season that they would be doing 24 episodes. Thus, ABC only needed Krista to sign off on doing one extra episode.
- That one extra (previously unplanned) episode will be a stand-alone episode focusing on Amelia. Krista had had the idea for it in her head, but it wasn't until the extra episode was ordered that she decided it would be included in this season. It was written by Julie Wong and directed by Bill D’Elia.[2]
