Notes and Trivia

  • ABC officially renewed Grey's Anatomy for its thirteenth season on March 3, 2016.
  • This is the first season since her introduction in season 2 not to feature Sara Ramírez as Dr. Callie Torres as part of the main cast.
  • Caterina Scorsone was pregnant with her second child during the start of filming the season. Her pregnancy was not written into the show.
  • Camilla Luddington was pregnant with her first child during the filming of this season. It is also not written into the show. She gave birth during production of the last few episodes of the season, resulting in a multi-episode absence of Jo Wilson.
  • Ellen Pompeo welcomed a third child into her family whilst filming this season.
  • For production reasons, presumably including three actresses with a baby on the way, it was decided at the beginning of the season that there would be four stand-alone episodes, focusing on only a couple of characters per episode. They were all filmed around the same time in late 2016, but spread throughout the season:
  • You Can Look (But You'd Better Not Touch) is the first episode where Meredith doesn't appear on-screen. However, she does provide the voiceover. This happens again in It Only Gets Much Worse. In Who Is He (And What Is He To You)?, Meredith doesn't appear, nor does she narrate the voice over, making it the first episode ever not to feature Meredith in any way.
  • This is the first season of the series where there isn't at least one main character to appear in every episode.
  • Meredith Grey has narrated the voiceovers except for two.
  • The table read for the first episode took place on July 22, 2016.
  • Filming started on August 1, 2016.
  • The table read for the second episode took place on August 8, 2016.
  • The table read for the third episode took place on August 19, 2016.
  • The table read for the fourth episode took place on August 30, 2016.
  • The table read for the eighth episode took place on September 21, 2016.
  • The table read for the ninth episode, the mid-season finale, took place on October 17, 2016.
  • The table read for the fourteenth episode took place on December 2, 2016.
  • Filming for episode 13.14 started on December 6, 2016.
  • The table read for the finale took place on March 24, 2017.
