Can’t get enough of Grey’s Anatomy (and need something to watch while you wait for the season 19 premiere)? Look no further than this list of must-watch dramas that bear a striking resemblance to the hit ABC show. Not only does each series offer a dramatized look at medicine, but they also examine the characters’ interpersonal relationships (just like Grey’s).
From New Amsterdam to Chicago Med, keep reading for nine TV shows like Grey’s Anatomy.
This Grey’s Anatomy spin-off follows Dr. Miranda Bailey’s (Chandra Wilson) husband, Ben Warren (Jason Winston George). It documents his journey working as a firefighter alongside Andy Herrera (Jaina Lee Ortiz), the hardworking daughter of the head of the firehouse. Station 19 often has crossover events with Grey’s, so we highly recommend you give it a try.
Another Grey’s Anatomy spin-off—but this time, it follows Dr. Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh). After her infamous divorce with Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey), the neonatal surgeon gets a fresh start in Los Angeles, where she joins a clinic that’s run by her friends, Sam (Taye Diggs) and Naomi (Audra McDonald).

Chief of Surgery Charlie Harris (Michael Shanks) ends up in a coma, forcing his fiancé Alex Reid (Erica Durance) to work alongside another surgeon to save his life. In a weird twist of fate, Dr. Harris “departs” his body and begins wandering the hospital as a spirit.
The series introduces viewers to the elite team at The Gaffney Chicago Medical Center. Similar to Grey’s, it documents their most challenging cases, along with their interpersonal relationships.
