Back in May it was announced that ABC had placed a straight-to-series order for a new Grey’s Anatomy spinoff based around a group of heroic firefighters, and now comes word from Deadline that Jaina Lee Ortiz (Rosewood) has been cast as the female lead.
The 10-episode drama is being penned by Grey’s Anatomy executive producer and co-showrunner Stacy McKee and takes place in a Seattle firehouse, detailing the brave men and women – from the captain to the newest recruit – who risk their lives and their hearts both in the line of duty and off the clock.
The main characters of the new spinoff are set to be introduced in an episode of the upcoming fourteenth season of Grey’s Anatomy before the show premiers in midseason. It is the second spinoff from the long-running medical drama series after Private Practice, which ran between 2007 and 2013.
