Shonda Rhimes has become synonymous with successful dramas. Rhimes’ production company, Shondaland, produced its first series in 2005 with Grey’s Anatomy. The medical drama continues to air on ABC and was renewed for a 19th season in January. Shondaland has also produced Grey’s Anatomy spin-offs, Private Practice and Station 19. In 2017, Rhimes signed a deal with Netflix, allowing Shondaland to continue to produce a range of dramas, which now include Bridgerton and Inventing Anna.
2014 was a massive year for Shondaland. The production company premiered its newest series, How to Get Away with Murder, which took ABC by storm. The addition of How to Get Away with Murder to Shondaland’s ABC lineup birthed TGIT or, “Thank God It’s Thursday,” which would air Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, and How to Get Away with Murder back to back. How to Get Away with Murder was created by Peter Nowalk, who previously worked on Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal. The legal thriller starred Viola Davis, Billy Brown, Liza Weil, Charlie Weber, Tom Verica, and Cicely Tyson.
