Exclusive: Grey’s Anatomy alumna Sarah Drew has been cast as the title character in The Republic of Sarah, CBS’ drama pilot from Fulwell 73 and CBS TV Studios.
Written by Jeffrey Paul King and directed by Marc Webb, The Republic of Sarah is said to have a Northern Exposure feel. It centers on a small New Hampshire town that is thrust onto the world stage when the discovery of a valuable resource within its borders compels the residents to declare themselves an independent nation, thus setting the unlikely young mayor, Sarah Cooper (Drew) and her cabinet of inexperienced locals on the path of running a brand-new country.
Drew’s Sarah Cooper is described as the titular beating heart of The Republic of Sarah. She’s a quintessential New Englander: sharply intelligent, fiercely loyal, and always willing to lend a hand. She’s hesitant to step into the spotlight at first,...

Sarah Drew's exit from Grey's Anatomy might have happened last season, but we're still not over it. Luckily her character, April Kepner, doesn't leave the show in tragic fashion, instead running off into the sunset with her former fiancé and now-husband Matthew. But regardless of her happy ending on the show, Drew's Irl departure was a sad one for fans who were hoping to see her continue on in Shonda Rhimes's long-running medical drama. That's exactly why the actress can't bring herself to watch new episodes of the series any longer.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Drew opened up about why it's too "painful" for her to tune in after nine seasons of playing April at the 2018 Rape Foundation annual brunch in Beverly Hills. "I haven't been watching," she told reporters. "You know, it's a little painful to kind of go and watch your family move on without you.
