Sarah Drew is speaking out to defend her social media post about the renewal of her Hallmark Channel series Mistletoe Murders.
The former Grey’s Anatomy actress took to her Instagram account on Friday (February 20) to celebrate the show being renewed for a third season.
“Merry merry MISTLETOE MURDERS SEASON 3 babyyyyyyy!!! CANNOT WAIT!!!” Sarah captioned a video filmed with co-star Peter Mooney.
Sarah‘s Grey’s co-star Eric Dane passed away on Thursday and someone commented on her post, “Seems tone deaf 🤦🏽.”
Sarah responded to the comment, pointing out how she realizes the person was probably referring to Eric‘s death, but how there are also so many other things people are grieving right now. She explained why she still decided to celebrate the news.

“I imagine this comment is in reference to the news about Eric Dane, or the fall of our democracy, or people getting kidnapped and killed in the streets, or the atrocities of the Epstein files, or the deeply corrupt administration we are living under- or any of the other truly heartbreaking things that are happening at the same time- all the time. I just want to encourage you- that many things can be true at the same time. I can grieve one thing and celebrate another. I can work and I can mother. I’d ask you to offer a little bit of grace. We have to find our joy where it comes because joy is resistance. And this show and this community brings me so much joy, so I will celebrate that… while also grieving all of the other things I’ve mentioned,” Sarah responded.
