Superproducer Shonda Rhimes is leaving ABC for Netflix.
Rhimes’ company Shondaland still has five shows currently in production with ABC Studios: Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, the Grey’s firehouse spin-off and the upcoming legal drama For the People.
“Our current shows will continue to thrive on ABC and Shondaland will be there every step of the way,” Rhimes said in a statement.
The deal with Netflix is for Shondaland to develop shows for the streaming service, so they will be totally new shows.
