Krista Vernoff expressed her gratefulness to ABC and ABC Signature for extending the show and that she is excited to tell more stories.

“Keeping each other safe on set while paying tribute to the frontline heroes and first responders has been a challenge and a privilege. I’ve been truly blown away – particularly by our tireless crews – as they reinvented the TV-making wheel,” Vernoff said.

In an exclusive interview with Deadline last May, ABC Signature President Jonnie Davis first suggested that a new spinoff for the show had been talked about.
