Leven Rambin used a May 20 Instagram video to lobby Shonda Rhimes for a role in ABC's upcoming Texas-set "Grey's Anatomy" spin-off, saying, "This needs to happen."
Rambin appeared in five "Grey's Anatomy" episodes as Sloan Riley, Mark Sloan's estranged daughter, making a reprisal the most likely path into the new series.
ABC has already given the untitled project a straight-to-series order for the 2026-2027 season, with Shondaland and 20th Television producing.
The show is billed as an edgy drama about a team at a West Texas rural medical center — "the last chance for care before miles of nowhere" — expanding the "Grey's" universe beyond its flagship 23rd season.
