Grey's Anatomy was renewed for an eleventh season by ABC on May 8, 2014.[31] On May 13, 2014, ABC announced their new schedule, as well as a new timeslot for Grey's Anatomy. The show remained on Thursday night, but it was moved to 8:00 PM E.T. to make room for ShondaLand Production Company's new TV series, How to Get Away with Murder.[32] Even though Paul Lee, the president of ABC, moved Grey's Anatomy to a new timeslot, he announced at ABC's 2014-15 upfront that the eleventh season would air in the same order as the previous season with 2 batches consisting of 12 interrupted episodes.[33][34]
For the 2014-15 TV season, ABC programmed its entire Thursday primetime lineup with Shondaland dramas Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder, then branded the night as \"Thank God It's Thursday\" (or \"TGIT\").[35] This echoes ABC's former TGIF branding of its Friday night family sitcoms and even NBC's Must See TV promotion of formidable Thursday night television hits in the 1990s.[36]
On August 13, 2013, Sandra Oh revealed that she would be leaving after Season 10 of Grey's Anatomy,[2] making the eleventh season the first season in which Dr. Cristina Yang did not appear. It was announced on March 25, 2014, that Gaius Charles and Tessa Ferrer did not receive a contract renewal for the eleventh season, and left at the end of the tenth season. Jerrika Hinton and Camilla Luddington however, returned as residents for the eleventh season.[41] On January 23, 2014, it was reported that Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey had renewed their contracts for another 3 seasons, as Meredith Grey and Derek Shepherd, respectively, meaning their characters would be staying on the medical drama for seasons 11 and 12.[42] On May 2, 2014, the rest of the 6 original cast mates, Justin Chambers, Chandra Wilson and James Pickens Jr., excluding Sandra Oh, renewed their contracts for another 2 seasons (11 and 12) as Drs. Alex Karev, Miranda Bailey, and Richard Webber, respectively. Sara Ramirez also renewed her contract for another 2 seasons as Dr. Callie Torres.[43]
E! News reported on June 23, 2014, that Caterina Scorsone was upgraded to a series-regular to continue her role as Dr. Amelia Shepherd, one of Dr. Derek Shepherd's 4 sisters. Scorsone had played the character since the seventh season as a recurring role, and played the character as a series-regular on the show's spin-off series, Private Practice.[44] After speculations about who would portray the character Ellis Grey, either Kate Burton or Sarah Paulson,[45] it was announced that Sally Pressman would replace Paulson as Ellis in flashbacks with J. August Richards reprising his role as a young Richard Webber in the same episode.[46] On August 6, 2014, it was confirmed that Burton would return to portray Ellis in flashbacks.[47]
Geena Davis was announced to appear in the season and would have a major guest arc as Dr. Nicole Herman, a fetal surgeon at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.[48] On September 2, 2014, Annet Mahendru of The Americans was announced to guest star for 1 episode, and she played Ana, an undocumented immigrant whose daughter had an 8-pound tumor.[49] It was announced on September 23, 2014, that Connie Ray, known from Space Jam and Stuart Little, would guest star as Dr. April Kepner's mother, Karen, and would appear in the sixth episode.[50] On October 23, 2014, Kelly McCreary was promoted to a series-regular after being credited as guest-starring until the eleventh episode.[51] On April 15, 2015, Reign alum Giacomo Gianniotti was announced to be cast on the show as a possible recurring role for Season 12.[52] On April 28, 2015, it was announced that Joe Adler was cast for the show, and would appear in the final 2 episodes of the season.[53]
Not even a week after the Season 10 finale episode aired, the Grey's Anatomy team of writers began collaborating on ideas for Season 11 storylines. Shonda Rhimes tweeted that they were hard at work in the writing room, but would have the month of June off before coming back in full swing to write actual episodes.[55] After the 4th of July weekend, Rhimes tweeted that the writers' room was once again buzzing, as the team had returned from vacation to start writing new episodes for Season 11. Camilla Luddington confirmed that the filming for the eleventh season would begin on July 25, 2014.[56]
The first half of the season opened to critical acclaim with many calling it the best season in the past few year;, the second-half, however, garnered mixed reviews. With Season 11 being the first in Grey's Anatomy history to be without Cristina Yang, TV.com wrote, \"So, the question I had heading into Grey's Anatomy's Season 11 premiere was just how much Cristina's absence would be felt. And at the end, I have to say-while the lack of Yang was definitely noticeable, I think the show will be just fine with out her.\"[107]
Ellen Pompeo garnered high critical acclaim towards the latter-half of the season for her portrayal of Meredith Grey. Rick Porter of Zap2it lauded Pompeo's performance in \"How to Save a Life\", may not be the ideal Emmy-submission episode for Ellen Pompeo, considering Meredith is off-screen for more than half of it. But it's among the best work she's ever done on the show.\"[115] USA Today also lauded Pompeo's performance saying, \" In some ways, the episode was even more of a showcase for Pompeo. She didn't play a prominent part until late in the hour, but she had some of the more memorable and well-played scenes, from her angry response to the doctor who tries to tell her what her choices are, to her resignation when she realizes she has to comfort and motivate the young doctor whose mistakes cost Derek his life.\"[116] Reviewing the episode \"She's Leaving Home\", Matt Carter commended on the show's \"shocking\" longevity and that it \"is still in a position where it makes sense.\" He also praised Pompeo's performance as \"great throughout\" and \"overlooked.\"[117]
Meredith has been grooming Alex to be her new person all season, but he still has a lot to learn. Jo has mostly been uncomfortable with the closeness of their friendship, so I was pretty surprised that she was on board with the pausing. Alex was clearly just as baffled.
I have a hard time believing there will be two miracles by the end of this season. My guess is at most only one of those stories gets a happy ending and it wouldn't surprise me if neither did. Is anyone else worried that Amelia might be a little too confident I want her to succeed but we've already had one unlikely brain tumor survivor. This is Grey's Anatomy though - where miracles happen.
Although Derek officially died in Grey's Anatomy season 11, the series brought Patrick Dempsey back for several episodes of season 17 as part of Meredith's COVID-induced coma. This period of the show saw Meredith reconnect with several deceased Grey's characters on an ethereal beach while her body was in critical condition. Derek's return was one of the most poignant, as the episodes saw him and Meredith get a fantasy wedding they never had in real life.
Now that the question of which season Derek dies has been answered, what has Patrick Dempsey been up to since leaving Grey's Anatomy in season 11 Dempsey technically left Grey's Anatomy in 2015, save for his brief reappearance in 2020, and since then he's been up to a lot. Directly after Grey's Anatomy, Dempsey appeared alongside Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth in the 2016 movie Bridget Jones' Baby. As for other feature films, he also reprised his role of Robert Philip in the Disney sequel Disenchanted. His next feature film will be Ferrari, in which he will portray Piero Taruffi. Presently, Patrick Dempsey can be seen on the small screen in a main role in the TV show Devils, where he plays Dominic Morgan. Dempsey seems to be thriving after his long stint on Grey's Anatomy, and his career won't slow down any time soon.
In fact, we're pretty sure that song and \"Chasing Cars\" have played in every single episode since that one...you know, the now-infamous McDreamy (Patrick Dempsey) death episode that we will never get over. It's like Shonda Rhimes knows we said that she couldn't possibly make us cry anymore than we already have, laughed to herself and said, \"Challenge accepted!\" Then she gave us the last few episodes of season 11. 59ce067264
