Karla Souza reportedly joins Texas-set ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ spinoff
The ABC drama is expected in the 2027-2028 TV season after a delay from its previously planned debut.
Karla Souza has reportedly been cast in a lead role in the Texas-based Grey’s Anatomy spinoff, becoming its first reported cast member. She is expected to portray Carolina “Lina” Hall, a doctor leading a small-town medical center in West Texas.
Variety describes Hall as cynical and haunted. The drama will follow the center’s medical team, with the show’s synopsis presenting the rural facility as the last available place for treatment before a long stretch without care.
ABC is expected to debut the series during the 2027-2028 TV season. Its arrival had previously been planned for the 2026-2027 season but was delayed.
Shonda Rhimes and current Grey’s Anatomy showrunner Meg Marinis are co-creating, writing and executive producing the project. Ellen Pompeo will also serve as an executive producer. Souza previously played law student Laurel Castillo in Rhimes’ How to Get Away With Murder.
