The thirteenth season of the American television medical drama Grey's Anatomy premiered on September 22, 2016, in the United States on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC), and consisted of 24 episodes. The season was ordered on March 3, 2016, along with ABC's other shows.[1] The season is produced by ABC Studios, in association with Shondaland Production Company and The Mark Gordon Company; the showrunners being William Harper and Stacy McKee.
The bulk of the season revolves around the residency program's teaching operation being analyzed and revamped, with the help of new residency program leader and education consultant Eliza Minnick, portrayed by Marika Dominczyk. The revamp causes tension and divides the staff who disapprove of these new methods. Other plots include the fallout of Alex Karev beating up Andrew DeLuca and his impending trial, Jo Wilson's true identity and past as well as Amelia's trauma over having children.
This season was the first not to feature Sara Ramirez as Dr. Callie Torres since their introduction in the second season, following their departure at the conclusion of the previous season.[2]
On February 10, 2017, ABC renewed Grey's Anatomy for a fourteenth season.[3][4]
The website Screen Rant ranked the season #14 on their 2023 ranking of the 19 Grey's Anatomy seasons.[5]
