Shonda Rhimes & Shondaland Is Leaving ABC For Netflix

Shonda Rhimes just scored a huge production deal with Netflix, where she will officially leave 12-year partnership with ABC Studios. This feels like a Scandal-worthy television divorce!

The multi-year deal was announced last night (Aug. 13), revealing that Rhimes' industry-defining company Shondaland will now produce series and other projects for Netflix alongside. Her longtime production partner and executive producer Betsy Beers is also coming along for the exciting ride. But Rhimes is still set to continue working on her various ABC series. She is the mastermind behind award-winning dramas like Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and How to Get Away With Murder (all of which are currently streaming on Netflix with older episodes).
