Ellen Pompeo Lands Next TV Role: Hulu Dramedy 'Chicks' - Just Jared - Celebrity News and Gossip

Ellen Pompeo is taking a new role.

The 56-year-old Grey’s Anatomy star is set to appear in Hulu‘s Chicks, a family dramedy, which she will also executive produce.

Here’s a synopsis, via Deadline:

“Chicks is set in the rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods of old Boston. It follows Chickie (Pompeo) and Doreen, two estranged half-sisters who are both struggling to get by when their wise guy dad unexpectedly kicks the bucket. Their only inheritance is a legacy of two-bit crime that inspires them to run increasingly audacious frauds. As their con grows, so does their odd-couple bond, as they each start to fill the father-shaped hole in the other’s heart.”

The show is based on an original idea from writer Katie Robbins, developed “specifically” for Ellen and inspired by conversations between the two on the set of their first show together, Hulu’s Good American Family, per Deadline‘s report.

They’re expecting to begin production in September in New York on the pilot.
