ABC has announced a new spinoff of the popular medical drama “Grey’s Anatomy,” this time taking place in the rugged setting of West Texas. The untitled series has been given a straight-to-series order and is set to premiere in the 2026-2027 broadcast season. The show will focus on a team at a rural medical center in West Texas, described as the last chance for care before vast stretches of desert.
Fans have expressed mixed reactions to the Texas setting, with some speculating on how the spinoff will connect back to the original series. While some questioned the choice of location, others welcomed the change from the familiar Seattle backdrop of “Grey’s Anatomy.”
The spinoff will retain the creative talents behind the scenes, with Shonda Rhimes continuing as co-creator and executive producer, along with Meg Marinis. Ellen Pompeo, the longest-running star of “Grey’s Anatomy,” will also serve as an executive producer alongside Betsy Beers. Details on how closely the new series will tie into the original show or if familiar faces will appear have not been revealed.
Marinis expressed excitement about expanding the “Grey’s Anatomy” universe with new characters and stories set in Texas. The upcoming series, produced by Shondaland and 20th Television, will be the fourth spinoff of “Grey’s Anatomy,” following the success of “Private Practice,” “Station 19,” and “Grey’s Anatomy: B-Team.”
