Derek Shepherd, a pivotal and adored character on Grey’s Anatomy, left the show at the end of Season 11.
Grey’s Anatomy fans had to say farewell to several of their favorite characters, and one of the most heartbreaking exits was Derek Shepherd.
Dempsey, who plays Derek, signed a two-year deal to stay on the show for the 11th and 12th seasons in 2014. However, his character was murdered in season 11. Therefore his contract was not yet up.
While it appeared to be an unexpected exit, Dempsey had been considering quitting the series for some time.
Dempsey then explained that the primary reason he decided to quit was that it was too time-consuming, preventing him from spending time with his family.
