Overview
- Meg Marinis told Deadline after the Oct. 15 Season 23 premiere that the untitled Texas spinoff is actively in development.
- Marinis is developing the project with franchise creator Shonda Rhimes and described their collaboration as central to shaping the new series.
- ABC ordered the spinoff earlier this year and it is set in West Texas, but the principal cast has not yet been announced.
- Grey's characters are confirmed to appear in the new show and the spinoff's lead characters are expected to be introduced in an episode of Grey's, though the exact episode and timing are still being worked out.
- Producers say they remain open to former Grey's cast members returning for guest spots, a move that follows past franchise offshoots like Private Practice and Station 19 and could help build early audience interest.
