GREY'S Anatomy's show-runner Krista Vernoff has given a hotly-anticipated update on the production of season 17.

The 16th season of the hit medical drama was cut by four episodes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This led to a number of storylines either being cut short or put on hold temporarily.

Vernoff spoke to TV Line about when the writers would be getting together in order to discuss the next season.

The discussions will go ahead this month using Zoom, a video call platform that has seen a surge in uptake since the beginning of quarantine.

She also stated that filming was set to start in July, but due to the ongoing restrictions, this may not be possible.

Vernoff said: "I'm going to start up the writers' room in May, but it's going to be a 'Zoom room.'

"The hope is that we will be able to start production when we usually do, which is in July. But we have to wait and see how this thing plays out, obviously."

Storylines include the salacious fallout from Teddy Altman (Kim Raver) cheating on Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) with Tom Koracick (Greg Germann).

Raver recently asked fans to be patient amongst the chaos and added that she has full faith in show-runner Vernoff to do her character justice.

Andrew DeLuca's (Giacomo Gianniotti) storyline saw a human trafficking case being revisited and although nothing is confirmed, Vernoff is still hoping the episode will happen.

There were also rumours of a major character death in the end of season 16's original finale.

This was supported by the fact Station 19's finale featured a life-threatening bombing.

It seems eagle-eyed fans will have to wait a little longer to have all of their questions answered.

Grey's Anatomy airs on Sky Witness with episodes also available on Amazon Prime and NOW TV.
