As if season 17 - and, indeed, Grey's Anatomy in general - couldn't break our hearts anymore. As the Covid-19 outbreak grips Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, so do other headline-hitting events of the last year, with racially charged scenes straight from the streets where protests are taking place, as well as the public health crisis' knock-on effect on mental health. Placing itself in our present day, find out how to watch Grey's Anatomy season 17 in one of the most emotive seasons yet.

Rumored to be Grey's Anatomy's final season ever, we're left wondering whether Meredith will ever wake from her induced coma, still wandering limbo beach's sandy landscape and chatting to people from the past. Meanwhile, in the busy corridors of Grey's, grief hangs thickly over the other much-loved characters of Grey's Anatomy as the show inevitably kills off more of our beloved series regulars.
