Grey's Anatomy Expands to Rural Texas
19 May
Summary
- A new Grey's Anatomy spinoff is set in rural West Texas.
- The series is co-created by Shonda Rhimes and Meg Marinis.
- It will premiere in midseason 2027 on ABC.
ABC is expanding its longest-running scripted series, Grey's Anatomy, with a new spinoff set to premiere in midseason 2027. This untitled medical drama, co-created by original series creator Shonda Rhimes and current showrunner Meg Marinis, will be set in a rural West Texas medical center, offering a unique departure from the franchise's previous urban settings. Rhimes and Ellen Pompeo are among the executive producers.
This marks the fourth series in the Grey's Anatomy franchise. While it will feature a new cast of doctors, connections to the original series are anticipated. Marinis, a native Texan, expressed excitement about bringing the franchise's signature heart and emotion to her home state. The exact episode order for the new series is yet to be determined but is expected to be similar to other midseason ABC entries.
The new offshoot, produced by Shondaland and 20th Television, falls outside Rhimes' overall deal with Netflix. ABC has been actively expanding its longest-running dramas into franchises. Grey's Anatomy recently concluded its 22nd season with strong viewership, indicating continued audience interest in the universe. It is unclear if an episode of the mothership series will be used to set up the new spinoff.
