Showrunner Jess Brownell recently weighed in on certain fan concerns — including the theory that she will have some siblings share a season.

"I don't have any plans to combine seasons," Brownell confirmed to Teen Vogue last month. "I want every sibling to have their own season and I know that Shonda [Rhimes] wants that as well."

Brownell offered some insight about her plans for season 4 , adding, "I have a road map in my head of where we want to go, and Shonda and I have talked privately about our plans for seasons beyond season 4, if we're allowed to continue in the way that we hope we will be able to."
