There's been a lot of changes at Grey Sloan Memorial over the years, including several name alterations for the hospital, and an even bigger number of cast members coming and going.

But, since Meredith, George, Izzie, Cristina and George arrived as fresh faced interns all those years ago, the show has maintained everything that drew fans in at the beginning - a huge amount of heart, and absolutely addictive drama.

Now, the series is back for a whopping 23rd outing, and nobody has to miss out on tuning in to the latest episodes, as we reveal how you can watch from anywhere in the world - potentially for free.

You can still enjoy the episodes with the use of a Virtual Private Network - a VPN.

A VPN allows you to change your IP address to that of the area where you want to watch, meaning you can tune in to the series, even if you're not there.

Our sister site, TechRadar, has tested all of the major VPN services and they rate Nord to be the absolute best.

They say, "It’s compatible with all of your devices, supports most streaming services, and ranks among the fastest. You can even install it on devices like an Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, and PlayStation. So for a one-stop-shop, you can’t go wrong with Nord."

If you've never installed a VPN before, don't worry, it's quick and easy. Just follow these three steps:

Download and install the VPN following NordVPN's easy-to-follow instructions.
Once you've installed your VPN, choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app
With your VPN installed and server location set, you can now watch Grey's Anatomy season 23 from anywhere.
