  • The midseason finale closes with high-stakes medical crises and personal complications that are left unresolved for the winter return.
  • New episodes are scheduled to resume Thursday, January 8, 2026, at 10 p.m. ET on ABC, with episodes available on Hulu the following day.
  • Season 22 consists of 18 episodes and went on hiatus after Episode 6, following the show’s recent pattern of shorter broadcast runs.
