Karla Souza, who previously starred in "How to Get Away With Murder," has been cast in a lead role in ABC's untitled "Grey's Anatomy" spinoff set in West Texas, and Deadline reports she is the first actor to join the 20th Television series, which is executive produced by Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers, Meg Marinis and Ellen Pompeo. Variety reports the spinoff, first announced in May, was initially planned for the 2026-2027 broadcast season but has been delayed to the 2027-2028 season.

How the coverage differs

All three outlets report the same core fact, that Karla Souza has been cast in a lead role in ABC's West Texas "Grey's Anatomy" spinoff, and differ mainly in the background they add. Variety focuses on the production timeline, noting that the series was announced in May and has been pushed from the 2026-2027 to the 2027-2028 season after not receiving a California TV tax credit. Deadline notes that Souza is the first actor to join the untitled 20th Television series and names executive producers Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers, Meg Marinis and Ellen Pompeo. The Hollywood Reporter highlights Souza's earlier work on another Shondaland series, "How to Get Away With Murder."
