Grey’s Anatomy has everything you could want in a TV show: drama, romance, tearjerkers, slices of real life, and more.
On a lazy, rainy weekend, there’s nothing better than getting up, getting a tub of ice cream, wrapping yourself in a warm blanket, and binge-watching this show.
The fan-favorite show has been on for 17 long seasons and doesn’t seem to be ending any time soon.
After all, we can’t get enough of Meredith Grey and the people at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital who live around her.
If you just started watching this show all at once or just found out about the spin-offs, here is a simple guide to help you figure out what to do next.
You can use this to find out about all the episodes that cross over and how to watch them in the right order.
There are three spin-offs of Grey’s Anatomy: Private Practice, Station 19, and B-Team.
There are crossover episodes between the main show and its spin-offs, Private Practice and Station 19.
The runtime of the Show and Spin-Offs
- Grey’s Anatomy: 18 Seasons (Season 19: Upcoming) | 2005 – Present
- Private Practice: 6 Seasons | 2007 – 2013
- Station 19: 4 Seasons | 2018 – Present
- Grey’s Anatomy B-Team: 1 Season | 2018
Watch Order
Even though Grey’s Anatomy has been on longer than the other three, they have all been on at the same time.
All four shows have linear plots and timelines, so you don’t have to change the order or jump back and forth between seasons.
But there are quite a few episodes that cross over between:
Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice
Watch Grey’s Anatomy first and then Private Practice in these crossover episodes.
Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19
Watch episodes of Station 19 first, and then watch episodes of Grey’s Anatomy.
Aside from the crossover episodes, you can either watch both shows at the same time, switching between them every episode, or you can watch each show on its own and only watch the crossover episodes.
Grey’s Anatomy: B-Team
This show ran for only one season and six episodes in 2018.
It was about interns at the Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
It doesn’t have any episodes that involve the main show or any of its spin-offs.

Even though there are rumors that season 19 of Grey’s Anatomy will be the last, the way season 18 is going shows that this is not true.
The ABC Network has said that season 19 of Grey’s Anatomy will not be the last one.
Ellen Pompeo will be back as the beloved Dr. Meredith Grey, and a few other main characters will also be back.
