Living has picked up the exclusive UK rights to air Grey's Anatomy spinoff show Private Practice.

The show, which has already been renewed for a second season in the US, follows Grey's surgeon Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh) as she moves to a new life in California.

"Existing fans of Grey's will love its sister show," said Amy Barham, head of acquisitions at VMTV. "Private Practice is quirky, funny and touching."

The nine-episode first season will air on Living in the summer, leading in to the premiere of Grey's season four in September. The second season of Practice will follow in early 2009.
