Did you know?: Grey’s Anatomy’s Izzie coming back to TV!

There’s no denying that Izzie was one of the most loved characters on Grey’s Anatomy, and fans along with industry insiders were shocked when Katherine Heigl, who played the character, decided to leave the show. Heigl wanted to concentrate on the big screen and, in turn, came out with movies such as The Ugly Truth and 27 Dresses.

The former star of the critically-acclaimed medical drama is now returning to TV, but this time she will be armed with a gun instead of a stethoscope. Katherine will be starring in, and executively producing, an untitled CIA drama, according to E Online.



TV channel NBC has acquired the rights to the show, and the series will follow Heigl as a CIA officer who takes on a role of communications liaison for the US president. Secondary plots will focus on worldwide CIA operations, along with Heigl’s character’s complicated personal life.
