‘Grey’s Anatomy’ will end its season early because of the coronavirus pandemic

“Grey’s Anatomy” will end its 16th season a little earlier than expected because of the coronavirus.

What’s going on:

• ABC announced “Grey’s Anatomy” will push up its finale date to Thursday, April 9. The show’s season 16 finale was set to air on May 16, according to Entertainment Weekly.
• The new finale airing on April 9 was the last episode filmed in production before the coronavirus put the show’s production on hold.
• The title of the new finale will be called “Put on a Happy Face.”
• “Grey’s Anatomy” doesn’t plan to resume production on the season once the staff is allowed to return to work.
• “Grey’s Anatomy” will return for a 17th season, though.

Other shows change their schedules

• Schedules for “Station 19” and “How to Get Away With Murder” won’t change, though, according to CNN. Those shows will run on May 14, which was the original plan.
• AMC’s “The Walking Dead” will make a similar call, ending its season a little earlier, according to CNN. But AMC said its season finale will air later in the year.
