Shonda Rhimes Dumps ABC for Netflix
Shonda Rhimes and her producing partner Betsy Beers will move Shondaland to Netflix, where they will conceive “new series and other projects,” according to an overnight announcement by Netflix.
Rhimes’ biggest shows — “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Scandal” and “How to Get Away with Murder” — already stream on Netflix in various parts of the world after premiering on ABC.
Netflix wants Rhimes’ future shows premiering on its streaming service, giving families even more reason to sign up and stay subscribed.
