Ellen Pompeo scaling back role on Grey's Anatomy

Editors at Deadline reported on Wednesday that the actress has signed on to appear in an eight-episode Hulu limited series about the ongoing case of Ukraine-born orphan Natalia Grace Barnett. Ellen will portray Kristine in the show, and accordingly, will wind back her duties on Grey's Anatomy, only appearing as Dr Meredith Grey in eight episodes of the upcoming 19th season of the medical drama. She will remain onboard as a narrator and executive producer. In addition, the 52-year-old will serve as an executive producer on the new Hulu project, which was written by Katie Robbins.
