We're working on releasing seasons faster, but it takes eight months to film them. Next comes the editing and dubbing process. Writing the script itself is a long process, so it takes about two years, but we want to speed it up.
Brownell revealed.
As for whether there will be a spin-off in the meantime, the producers don't see much of a chance of that, and Shonda Rhimes isn't sure they need to peel another skin off Sarolta, since they've said what they want.

The writer already knows which of her characters will be tweaked in Season 4, but she can't tell fans yet. It could be Eloise, Benedict or Francesca in the spotlight, and in the third season it became clear that the love story of the latter two would not be easy, as they both appeared as strange characters.
