Home TV Features Grey's Anatomy: All 3 Spin-offs Explained ( How They Connect) Grey's Anatomy has made way for three spin-off series, though not all of them have been set in a hospital. Here's what they're about. Grey’s Anatomy has been around for over a decade, and some of its characters have gotten their own TV shows, with three Grey’s Anatomy spin off series connecting to the main series. Created by Shonda Rhimes, Grey’s Anatomy debuted on ABC in 2005 as a mid-season replacement but was so well-received that it continued its course. The series premiered its 19th season in 2022 and shows no signs of slowing down. Grey’s Anatomy follows the basic premise of medical dramas, telling the stories of surgical interns, residents, and attendings as they do their best to balance their personal and professional lives, which end up overlapping most of the time. The series was led by Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), one of the few characters from season 1 that lasted to season 19 before she departed her own show. Many other characters either left Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital (formerly Seattle Grace Hospital) or have been killed. Some of these characters received a Grey's spin off, some more popular than others. There has been three Grey's Anatomy spin off series, and some of these have had crossover storylines with the main series. They relate to the original series through everything from characters to the city of Seattle to the show's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital setting. Private Practice The first Grey's Anatomy spin off series was Private Practice , which followed Dr. Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh) after she left Seattle Grace Hospital in order to join a private practice in Los Angeles. The series was set at Seaside Health Wellness Center (formerly Oceanside Wellness Group), and had five crossover storylines with Grey’s Anatomy. Private Practice ended in 2013 after six seasons, with the character of Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone), Derek’s sister, later joining Grey’s Anatomy as a series regular. Station 19 The second Grey's Anatomy spin off is Station 19, which, even though it is also set in Seattle, has nothing to do with hospitals. Instead, Station 19 focuses on the lives of the women and men at Seattle Fire Station 19, and it stars Jaina Lee Ortiz, Jason George, Grey Damon, Barrett Doss, and more. The series was introduced in Grey’s Anatomy’s season 14, specifically in episode 13, when firefighters were brought to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital after a fire. Unlike Private Practice, this spin-off show is still going, with Station 19 season 6 premiering on October 6, 2022. Grey's Anatomy: B-Team The third Greay's Anatomy spin off series is Grey’s Anatomy: B-Team. This series didn’t take viewers outside Grey Sloan Memorial, focusing on a group of interns at the hospital. B-Team was only six episodes long and released as a web series, and its main characters were Dahlia Qadri (Sophia Taylor Ali), Levi Schmitt (Jake Borelli), Casey Parker (Alex Blue Davis), Taryn Helm (Jaicy Elliot), Vik Roy (Rushi Kota), and Sam Bello (Jeanine Mason). B-Team also had special guests from the main series, like Justin Chambers’ Alex Karev and Kevin McKidd’s Owen Hunt. Every Crossover Episode Between Grey's Anatomy And Its Spinoffs Naturally, the Grey's Anatomy spin off series overlapped with the original series from time to time, except for Grey's Anatomy: B-Team, which never crossed over at all. There were 45 crossover episodes that Grey's Anatomy spin offs shared with the main series on regular network television: Crossovers between Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice: Grey’s Anatomy: 3×22 and 3×23, "The Other Side of This Life" Parts 1 and 2 Private Practice: 1×01, "In Which We Meet Addison, a Nice Girl From Somewhere Else" Grey’s Anatomy: 4×13, "Piece of My Heart" Grey’s Anatomy: 5×14, "Beat Your...
