Karla Souza to Star in 'Grey's Anatomy' Spin-Off
The actress will lead the cast of ABC's new medical drama series set in rural Texas.
Karla Souza will play the role of Dr. Carolina 'Lina' Hall, who manages a medical center in a small town in West Texas. Her character is described as a disillusioned and reserved professional striving to provide medical care to residents of a remote region.
Filming for the as-yet-untitled project will begin in early 2027. The premiere is scheduled for the 2027–2028 television season, although ABC initially planned to release the series earlier.
'Grey's Anatomy' creator Shonda Rhimes and the original series' showrunner Meg Marinis are the writers of the project and the first episode's script. They will also serve as executive producers alongside Betsy Beers and Ellen Pompeo.
For Souza, this marks a return to collaboration with ABC and Shondaland. Previously, she starred in the series 'How to Get Away with Murder' and the comedy 'Home Economics.' Souza also received an International Emmy Award for her role in the project 'Dive.'
