## Summary

Karla Souza has been cast as the lead in an untitled “Grey’s Anatomy” spinoff set in West Texas, where she will play Dr Carolina “Lina” Hall. The series follows a rural medical centre described as the last chance for care across a remote stretch, expanding the franchise with another medical drama.

The spinoff was announced in May and is now planned for the 2027–2028 broadcast season, after a delay linked to not receiving a California TV tax credit. Souza previously appeared in ABC’s “How to Get Away With Murder” and “Home Economics”. Shonda Rhimes and Meg Marinis are co-creators and executive producers, with “Grey’s Anatomy” star Ellen Pompeo and Betsy Beers also executive producing.
