This former 'Grey's Anatomy' star is joining the HBO Max 'Sex and the City' reboot

Sara Ramírez won over millions of hearts during a 10-year run as Dr. Callie Torres on Grey's Anatomy, and now the 45-year-old is crossing over into another iconic television franchise.


According to Deadline's Denise Petski, Ramírez has been cast in HBO Max's Sex and the City reboot limited series titled And Just Like That...,  where she will star alongside OG cast members Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon.


Petski provided context:

"And Just Like That… follows Carrie (Parker), Miranda (Nixon) and Charlotte (Davis) navigating the journey from the complicated reality of life and friendship in their 30s to the even more complicated reality of life and friendship in their 50s. The 10-episode, half-hour series is scheduled to begin production this summer in New York. Ramírez will play new character Che Diaz (they/them), a non-binary, queer stand-up comedian who hosts a podcast on which Carrie Bradshaw is regularly featured. Che is a big presence with a big heart whose outrageous sense of humor and progressive, human overview of gender roles has made them and their podcast very popular."

Ramírez made history as Grey's Torres, an orthopedic surgeon who came into her sexuality during Season 4 through a surprise romance with Dr. Erica Hahn (Brooke Smith), and became the longest-running LGBTQ+ character across 241 total episodes.

Ramírez's story arc on Grey's, she later said, helped with coming out as bisexual in 2016 and as non-binary (she/they) in 2020:
