Grey's Anatomy could begin filming Season 17 as early as next week

Variety

Variety reports that Grey's plans to begin filming Season 17 this month. "Production on the first two episodes of season 17 could begin in Los Angeles as early as next week," reports Variety's Will Thorne. "Precisely when the show will return to screens remains to be seen, however, as news of the resumption comes less than a week after ABC announced an unscripted-heavy fall schedule which no longer featured Grey’s. A previous version of the schedule listed the show in its regular Thursday night slot next to Station 19. This news would appear to put ABC in a more solid position on the scripted front than some of its rivals, as the Disney-owned network already has The Goldbergs, A Million Little Things, The Good Doctor and Big Sky confirmed as returning to production."
