"Shonda [Rhimes] and I, I think – we'll see, we'll see," she told Entertainment Tonight.
"Trying to reinvent the show and continually trying to reinvent the show is the challenge at this point, and listen, the show speaks to a lot of people, and the young people love the show."
Star Jesse Williams has also weighed in on the idea of the show going on without Pompeo, telling Access Hollywood: "I don't know, it would be a different show, she's the heart of that show, she's Grey, so unlikely. But again, I don't work there anymore so it doesn't matter what I think."
Grey's Anatomy and Station 19 air on ABC in the US. They air on Sky Witness in the UK with selected episodes also available on NOW and Disney+.
