Ellen Pompeo is locking in another major television gig, and she is teaming up with one of the most prolific showrunners in small-screen history to pull it off. The longtime *Grey's Anatomy* powerhouse is set to star in *Not A Sound*, an upcoming drama series currently in the works over at Hulu. The project hails directly from David E. Kelley Productions, bringing together two industry heavyweights who actually share a fascinating bit of broadcast history. Over two decades ago in March 2005, Pompeo’s breakout medical hit stepped into the Sunday night ABC time slot right after Kelley’s drama *Boston Legal* wrapped its season. Now, twenty-one years after that initial handover, the duo is officially combining forces for a brand-new project. ## What is Ellen Pompeo's new Hulu show Not A Sound about? Exact plot details for *Not A Sound* are still being kept under tight wraps, but the collaboration alone makes the drama an instant project to track. Given Kelley's legendary track record behind mega-hits like *Big Little Lies*, *Ally McBeal*, and *The Undoing*, bringing Pompeo into his creative universe signals a serious push for prestige television on Hulu. Reports indicate that the project is being tailored specifically for the streaming platform, continuing Pompeo’s growing business relationship with Hulu. The actress has been actively expanding her executive producer and acting resume beyond the medical drama that made her a household name. ## Is Ellen Pompeo leaving Grey's Anatomy for good? While Pompeo remains synonymous with her iconic role as Dr. Meredith Grey, the star has been steadily expanding her horizons beyond Grey Sloan Memorial. She famously dialed back her full-time on-screen presence on *Grey’s Anatomy* to pursue fresh creative ventures, while still maintaining her executive producer role and providing her signature voiceover narration for the long-running series. *Not A Sound* marks another big step in Pompeo's post-full-time broadcast era. Teaming up with Kelley guarantees that her next dramatic act will be backed by serious storytelling power, giving television fans plenty to look forward to as development on the new show continues.
