As Jesse Williams decided to leave Grey’s Anatomy, the writers have reserved a great outing for his character. Jackson indeed leaves Seattle for Boston and moves with April (Sarah Drew). Is a spin-off centered on these two heroes possible?
To everyone’s surprise, Jesse Williams, who plays Jackson Avery, has decided to leave Grey’s Anatomy ! It was in episode 14 of season 17, broadcast on TF1 on Wednesday March 16, that viewers discovered why the doctor had chosen to move to Boston and no longer work at Gray Sloan hospital. Jackson indeed went to April’s house (Sarah Drew), her ex, to ask if she and their daughter Harriet would move to Boston with him so he might head up the Catherine Fox Foundation. The young woman, separated from her husband Matthew, accepted. A beautiful end for these two characters, which was almost different. Following the airing of this episode in the United States in May 2021, many fans campaigned for a Jackson and April spin-off to see the light of day. A crazy idea?

Obviously, if Jesse Williams, who found love once more, supports the fans of Grey’s Anatomy for creating a Jackson and April spin-off series, that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. For the moment, no such project has been officially announced. As for the actor, he is not unemployed because he plays until May 29, 2022 on Broadway in the play Take Me Out with Patrick J. Adams and Jesse Tyler Ferguson. But who knows what the future will hold…
