Shonda Rhimes reveals the eight TV projects she's developing for Netflix

Variety

Rhimes' "grand Netflix ambitions" are revealed in a New York Times profile of Rhimes, where she emphasized how she told Netflix that she's not making another Grey's Anatomy. “I wanted the new Shondaland to be a place where we expand the types of stories we tell, where my fellow talented creatives could thrive and make their best work and where we as a team come to the office each day filled with excitement,” said Rhimes. Planned Shondaland shows include Pico & Sepulveda, set in the 1840s then-Mexican state of California, a series about White House staffers based on the book The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House and a series based on the Pulitzer-winning book The Warmth of Other Suns, about the migration of African-Americans from the South to the Northeast in the 20th Century. Ellen Pao's sexual harassment Silicon Valley lawsuit and Debbie Allen's Hot Chocolate Nutcracker reimagining of The Nutcracker will form Rhimes' other Netflix TV projects. They join the Anna Delvey series that was announced last month.
