This time, though, the series won’t follow a well-known character from the veteran medical drama.
Instead, the new spinoff, which was ordered straight to series for ABC, will revolve around a group of “heroic” firefighters in Seattle, Variety reports.

The new series will be spearheaded by Grey’s Anatomy showrunner Stacy McKee with Rhimes and Betsy Beers at the executive producer helm alongside McKee.
“No one can interweave the jeopardy firefighters face in the line of duty with the drama in their personal lives quite like Shonda, and Grey’s signature Seattle setting is the perfect backdrop for this exciting spinoff,” said ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey.
