Shonda Rhimes Leaves ABC For Netflix

Shonda Rhimes is saying goodbye to ABC after 15 years.

The 47-year-old executive producer of hit ABC shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, and How to Get Away with Murder is bringing her Shondaland production company to Netflix in a new multi-year deal to produce new series and projects.

“Shondaland’s move to Netflix is the result of a shared plan Ted Sarandos and I built based on my vision for myself as a storyteller and for the evolution of my company,” Shonda said in a statement released by Netflix.

“Ted provides a clear, fearless space for creators at Netflix. He understood what I was looking for — the opportunity to build a vibrant new storytelling home for writers with the unique creative freedom and instantaneous global reach provided by Netflix’s singular sense of innovation. The future of Shondaland at Netflix has limitless possibilities.”
