The post “Grey’s Anatomy” star Sarah Drew to star in “Cagney & Lacey” reboot appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.
]]>Less than a week after it was announced that Drew will be leaving ABC’s hit medical drama, Drew has already landed her next gig chez CBS.
The actress will play one of the two lead roles in the Cagney & Lacey reboot. The other lead role went to Michelle Hurd. The duo will play the titular roles in the female-led detective series.
Drew will star as Cagney, an easy going LAPD detective, and protégée of Lacey. The original series ran from 1981-88 and starred Sharon Gless and Tyne Daly.
The reboot of the iconic 1980s police drama will be written by Bridget Carpenter and directed by Rosemary Rodriguez (The Good Wife).
Drew has been on Grey’s Anatomy for 9 seasons, 8 of which as a series regular playing Dr. April Kepner. Also exiting the show at the end of the current season is Jessica Capshaw who plays Dr. Arizona Robbins. The show’s producers said that the decision to not have Drew and Capshaw not return to the still non-confirmed 15th season was strictly a creative decision.
This is definitely good news for Drew who summed it all up in one simple tweet writing, “Well, it’s been quite a week” along with a bunch of happy emojis, “So excited!!!!”

]]>Jessica Capshaw who plays Dr. Arizona Robbins and Sarah Drew who plays Dr. April Kepner will exit Grey’s Anatomy at the end of the current fourteenth season. The two have been series regulars for 10 and 8 seasons respectively.
Executive producer and co-showrunner Krista Vernoff said in a statement that the decision was based solely on a creative decision.
“The characters of Arizona and April are permanently woven into the fabric of Grey’s Anatomy thanks to the extraordinary work of Jessica Capshaw and Sarah Drew. As writers, our job is to follow the stories where they want to go and sometimes that means saying goodbye to characters we love. It has been a joy and a privilege to work with these phenomenally talented actresses.”
Creator Shonda Rhimes said, “It’s always hard for me to say goodbye to any of my characters. Both Arizona Robbins and April Kepner are not only beloved but iconic — both the LBGTQ and devout Christian communities are underrepresented on TV. I will be forever grateful to both Jessica and Sarah for bringing these characters to life with such vibrant performance and for inspiring women around the globe. They will always be a part of our Shondaland family.”
There has been growing speculations that this decision did in some way have to do with the star of the show, Ellen Pompeo, renegotiating a new deal, that gave her a significant salary increase, paying her as much as $20 million a year.
Following the news of their pending exits, both Drew and Capshaw shared their thoughts with their fans. Read their statements below.
