## Summary

Karla Souza will lead ABC’s untitled Texas-set Grey’s Anatomy spinoff, playing a doctor who runs a medical centre in a small West Texas town. The casting establishes the series’ central character, while its schedule has shifted: filming is planned for early 2027, with the show now intended for ABC’s 2027–28 line-up.

Souza will play Carolina “Lina” Hall, described as a haunted and cynical doctor. The medical centre is presented as the last place to receive care before long stretches of remote country, and co-creator Meg Marinis says the series will explore rural West Texas communities and stories distinct from the original show. Shonda Rhimes and Marinis are co-creators and writers of the first episode, and executive producers include Betsy Beers and Ellen Pompeo.
