List of Private Practice episodes

Private Practice is an American medical drama series created by Shonda Rhimes and broadcast by the American Broadcasting Company (ABC). It is a spin-off from the long-running series Grey's Anatomy, another ABC medical drama created by Rhimes. The basic premise of the program was first introduced during the third season of Grey's Anatomy through a two-part backdoor pilot titled "The Other Side of This Life". The series premiered with a nine-episode first season on September 26, 2007. Four additional seasons followed between 2008 and 2012. A sixth and final season was then announced, for which the network opted not to order a back nine, concluding the thirteen-episode season and 111-episode series on January 22, 2013.

The series follows Dr. Addison Montgomery (portrayed by Kate Walsh) as she relocates from the fictional Seattle Grace Hospital in Seattle, Washington, and takes a job at the Oceanside Wellness Group, a private medical practice in Santa Monica, California. Walsh was first introduced in the first season finale of Grey's Anatomy and then starred in the second and third seasons before moving to the spin-off. The initial ensemble cast also featured Tim Daly, Audra McDonald (taking on a role that was portrayed by Merrin Dungey in the backdoor pilot), Paul Adelstein, KaDee Strickland, Chris Lowell, Taye Diggs, and Amy Brenneman. Daly, McDonald, and Lowell left the series during its run, while other cast members, such as Brian Benben, Caterina Scorsone, Benjamin Bratt, and Griffin Gluck, were introduced in later seasons.

Private Practice featured several crossover episodes with Grey's Anatomy over the course of its run. It is the first spin-off of that show, which began in 2005, the second being Station 19 (2018–2024). It was the second series from Shondaland, Rhimes' production company, and one of twelve that has been produced by the company overall. Following the conclusion of the program, both Walsh and Scorsone (portraying Amelia Shepherd) reprised their roles as recurring guest stars in Grey's Anatomy; Scorsone was later promoted to the main cast of that series beginning with the eleventh season, and also crossed over into Station 19. The series was broadcast internationally.
