Grey’s Anatomy always comes to mind when I think of shows that have truly taken off in the last few years. There are many reasons why Grey’s Anatomy will go down in history as one of the most influential medical dramas of all time. Grey’s Anatomy Season 18 will begin airing in the not too distant future.

What if, on the other hand, you’re in the mood for something completely different but also somewhat similar? Grey’s Anatomy fans will find plenty of shows to enjoy that are similar to Shonda Rhimes’ work, as well as others that have the same feel. Here are some recommendations for new shows to watch that you’ll become just as enamored with as you were with Stranger Things.

1. Private Practice (Netflix)

Private Practice

Dr. Addison Montgomery leaves Seattle Grace Hospital and joins a private practice in Los Angeles, hence the title, in this medical drama (also created by Rhimes) set at Seaside Health & Wellness Center.

Grey’s Anatomy fans will love Private Practice because it’s a spin-off featuring characters from Grey’s Anatomy, especially Addison, who you’ll follow throughout the entire season. Except that this time, it’s set in Los Angeles, it has everything you could want from dramatic cases, heartbreaking stories, and romantic moments.

2. Scandal (Hulu)

Scandal is a medical drama created by Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes about a former White House Communications Director who starts her own crisis management firm only to realize that her clients aren’t the only ones with secrets to tell or to hide.

This is a great show for fans of Grey’s Anatomy, as Scandal was created by the same woman and has dramatic plots that will compel you to watch every episode as soon as possible. The actress who plays Olivia Pope, Kerry Washington, more than lives up to the high praise she’s received for the role. Scandal has seven seasons and is a great show to binge watch.

3. Station 19 (Hulu)

Station 19

Look at that. This is yet another spinoff from Shonda Rhimes. Station 19 is set in the same Seattle neighborhood as Grey’s Anatomy and follows the lives of the men and women who work at Seattle Fire Station 19.

In contrast to Grey’s Anatomy spin-off Private Practice, Station 19 has a lighter medical focus, making it ideal for Grey’s Anatomy fans. As a result, the focus is solely on that of the firefighters, providing a fresh perspective on one of the most vital jobs in the world. As a result of Station 19 taking place in the same city as its predecessor, there will be many crossovers. As a result, when you recognize someone, you’ll be like the Leonardo DiCaprio meme pointing at the TV. It’s a fantastic show that’s still running today.

4. How To Get Away With Murder (Netflix)

Were you expecting the end of the Shonda Rhimes saga by now? No, sir, because she was an executive producer on How to Get Away with Murder. A group of law students, including Viola Davis’s professor, become embroiled in a murder plot that could have far-reaching consequences for them all.

In the first place, Viola Davis is phenomenal in How to Get Away with Murder, and she truly deserves every single award she’s received for the role. As for the rest of the cast, I believe Grey’s Anatomy fans will enjoy this show because, while it isn’t quite as silly as Grey’s, you will appreciate the surprises this show offers. The drama in this show rivals even that of Grey’s Anatomy, and that’s saying a lot.

5. House (Peacock)

Dr. Gregory House is an unconventional medical genius who runs a fictional hospital’s diagnostics team while also taking pain medication to get through the day. We follow him in House.

Fans of Grey’s Anatomy will enjoy House because the cases are just as outlandish. Do you believe that some of the cases in Seattle are out of the ordinary? You won’t believe it until you see House. A classic medical drama with the great House cast, this should be on your list of things to watch if you haven’t done so already. This show revolves around the investigations into these enigmatic cases.

6. Psych (Peacock)

Psych (Peacock)

It’s a popular crime drama called Psych about a rookie detective who is hired by the police after convincing them that he has psychic powers and can use them to help solve cases. They take on the most difficult cases with the assistance of his best friend.

While Psych may not be a carbon copy of Grey’s Anatomy, I believe that Grey’s Anatomy viewers would enjoy it. Grey’s Anatomy’s dramatic medical cases frequently remind me of Psych’s bizarre crimes, but with a lighter tone. While it’s still a crime series, it’s a lot funnier and has a more nuanced cast of characters, making it reminiscent of your favorite medical drama. A number of movies have been made from the series, and the Psych cast is a lot of fun to watch.

7. Suits (Amazon Prime)

Suits takes place in a fictional New York City law firm and centers on college dropout Mike Ross, who ends up working as a legal assistant for Harvey Specter despite never having attended law school.

For Grey’s Anatomy fans, the show’s cliffhangers will be a welcome return; my God, Suits has so many cliffhangers. As if you were re-watching Grey’s Anatomy, but in a courtroom instead of a hospital, you’ll be tearing through the episodes like there’s no tomorrow because you love it so much and want to know what happens next. Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, appears in the show’s stellar cast.

8. The Good Doctor (Hulu)

The Good Doctor (Hulu)

Watching The Good Doctor focuses on Shaun Murphy, an autistic surgeon with savant syndrome and a troubled past who relocates from his native New York City to work at the esteemed San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital in California.

These two medical dramas have a lot in common, including a shared network, heroic surgeons saving lives and heartbreaking stories that will keep you in tears for days. I’m not joking when I say that watching this series has brought tears to my eyes more than any other TV show ever has. The Good Doctor has a great cast, but it also has a lot of heart-wrenching moments that will have you in tears.

9. E.R. (Hulu)

ER follows the daily lives of emergency room doctors, nurses, and other hospital staff at County General Hospital, a fictional Chicago trauma center. The show focuses on the daily struggles of the hospital staff as they deal with potentially lethal situations.

E.R. is largely responsible for Grey’s Anatomy’s existence. One of the most popular medical dramas of all time, E.R. had fifteen seasons, complex stories, and an insanely talented cast. In addition, this show featured numerous guest stars, including Jessica Chastain, Aaron Paul, Thandiwe Newton, and a host of others. E.R. is worth a watch if you haven’t already. It’s as dramatic and gripping as Grey’s Anatomy, only better.

10. Scrubs (Amazon Prime)

Scrubs (Amazon Prime)

Following John Dorian as he attempts to advance his medical career while dealing with the hospital’s intense staff, crazy situations, and memorable patients is what we get to see in the show Scrubs.

Scrubs will be familiar to Grey’s Anatomy fans because it takes place in a hospital and follows the lives of doctors, surgeons, and nurses. However, Scrubs is far funnier than Grey’s Anatomy. The show is, in my opinion, one of the best comedies on television today. Some medical dramas don’t necessitate constant sobbing, you know? Grey’s Anatomy is a great show to watch when you want to be immersed in medical drama, but there are times when you just want to relax with a show like Scrubs. It helps that the Scrubs cast is hilarious.
