Ellen Pompeo is to reduce her role on Grey's Anatomy.
The 52-year-old actress has played the leading role of Dr Meredith Grey on the hit medical drama since it began in 2005 but will reportedly only be appearing in eight episodes of the show's 19th season, according to Deadline.
The outlet went on to claim that the actress will be stepping away from her starring role on the ABC drama series so she can focus on developing and acting in a new - as yet untitled - series for Hulu through her Calamity Jane production company.
A synopsis from Hulu reads: "Inspired by the story of a Midwestern couple who adopts what they believe is an eight-year-old girl with a rare form of dwarfism. But as they begin to raise her alongside their three biological children, they slowly start to believe she may not be who she says she is. As they question her story, they're confronted with hard questions of their own about the lengths they're willing to go to defend themselves, falling into a battle that's fought in the tabloids, the courtroom, and ultimately their marriage."
