Ellen Pompeo, who has portrayed Meredith Grey since Grey's Anatomy's 2005 debut, is taking on a new leading role in Hulu's upcoming family comedy-drama, 'Chicks.' This new project is based on an original concept developed specifically for Pompeo.

Pompeo significantly reduced her on-screen appearances in Grey's Anatomy starting with season 19 in 2022, though she remains an executive producer and narrator for the medical drama. She previously expressed a desire for the show to conclude, questioning future storylines while acknowledging its financial success. Despite cast shakeups, including recent departures, Pompeo is expected to make appearances in season 23 of Grey's Anatomy.
Production for 'Chicks' is slated to commence in September in New York. The show's synopsis describes the sisters' journey as they navigate their inheritance and their growing connection, filling a void left by their father.
