A spinoff series of Grey's Anatomy set in Texas is officially moving forward as ABC has given it a series order. Here's what you should expect in the franchise's next saga.
The long-running medical series recently ended its 22nd season, and it's already been renewed for the 23rd season, which is expected to premiere later this year. While there is no end in sight planned yet, fans are wondering whether there are plans to expand the franchise and create more spinoffs to expand the Meredith Grey universe.
What to Expect in Grey's Anatomy Texas Spinoff Series
Variety reported that ABC has given a series order to the Texas-set spinoff series of Grey's Anatomy, which will premiere during the 2026-27 broadcast season.
Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes and showrunner Meg Marinis will serve as creators and executive producers of the spinoff, while also writing the pilot episode.
According to the official logline, the Texas spinoff is described as "an edgy drama about a team at a West Texas rural medical center — the last chance for care before miles of nowhere."
Ellen Pompeo, who plays Meredith Grey and also serves as executive producer of the mothership series, will also be involved in the spinoff as an executive producer. However, there is no word on whether she will make an appearance as the character.
It remains unknown how the spinoff series will be connected to Grey's Anatomy, which takes place in Seattle, and whether some of the characters from the mothership series will drop by in Texas.
"I am incredibly excited to expand the Grey’s Anatomy universe. This opportunity will bring new characters and stories to life that will embody the same heart, emotion and connection audiences have loved from Grey’s for more than two decades — all set in my home state of Texas. I am so grateful to Shonda Rhimes for creating this dynamic world and feel so fortunate that I get to be a part of it," Marinis said in a statement.
It will be the third spinoff series in the Grey's Anatomy franchise, following Private Practice and Station 17.
What's Next in Grey's Anatomy
The 23rd season of Grey's Anatomy is set to premiere on ABC in the fall of 2026 in its usual schedule. So far, the plot details are still under wraps.
The recent season 22 finale of the series saw the departure of long-time cast members Kevin McKidd (Dr. Owen Hunt) and Kim Raver (Dr. Teddy Altman). It remains unknown whether other cast members might leave before the 23rd season premieres.
