The actor is set to join ABC's upcoming firefighter-focused Grey's Anatomy spinoff as a series regular. He joins an ensemble cast that includes the previously announced Jaina Lee Ortiz as the offshoot's leading lady.
Details about George's transition to the spinoff are being kept under wraps. Just how George will move to the spinoff will be a key part of his storyline on the upcoming 14th season of Grey's Anatomy. George will continue to be a series regular on Grey's Anatomy season 14 until production of the spinoff begins, at which point he will focus his attention there. (The casting does not mean he will not continue to pop in and out of the flagship series.)
