Kelly McCreary Pushes for Urgent Grey’s Anatomy Spin-off Series
URGENT UPDATE: Kelly McCreary, the actress behind Maggie in Grey’s Anatomy, is advocating for a dedicated spin-off series centered around Meredith Grey’s half-sister. McCreary’s surprise return in Season 22 has reignited interest, and she believes the time is ripe for a standalone project that explores Maggie’s new life.
In a recent interview with Soaps.com, McCreary expressed her excitement about the potential series, stating, “Oh, that would be so fun.” She emphasized the desire to delve deeper into Maggie’s journey, especially after significant developments in her storyline. “It would be really cool to check in with her [on her own turf],” she added, hinting at the rich narrative possibilities.
Maggie’s storyline took a dramatic turn in the Season 22 premiere, where she revealed her pregnancy, aided by a donor, while navigating life in Chicago. McCreary pointed out how much there is to explore—“all of a sudden, she decided to have a child with no support, all alone in another city.” This emotional arc sets the stage for a compelling spin-off narrative.
The actress is particularly interested in how Maggie has reinvented herself post-Seattle. She stated, “When you’re building a world from scratch… what would she choose?” Such introspection could resonate with audiences and add depth to the character.
Currently, Grey’s Anatomy has successfully launched three spin-offs, including Private Practice and Station 19. With McCreary’s enthusiasm and the established success of related shows, the concept of a Maggie-focused series seems increasingly feasible.
As of now, ABC has not provided any official confirmation regarding the spin-off. However, McCreary’s comments have set social media abuzz with speculation and excitement about what a new series could bring.
Stay tuned for updates on this developing story, as the potential for a new chapter in the Grey’s Anatomy saga could be just around the corner.
