All the Shows Shonda Rhimes Is Bringing to Netflix

Untitled 'Bridgerton' project

First up, Rhimes is developing a project based on Julia Quinn's Bridgerton Family Series of novels. The story follows a powerful family British family in the early 19th century as they try to navigate the aristocracy's "marriage mart." The story has a feminist bent that Rhimes will no doubt accentuate.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the currently untitled show will be executive produced by Chris Van Dusen, who worked with Rhimes on Scandal.

'The Warmth of Other Suns'

The Warmth of Other Suns is based on a nonfiction book by the same name. Written by Isabel Wilkerson, it picked up a Pulitzer Prize for its description of African-Americans fleeing Jim Crow laws in the south and heading North and West.

The book has reportedly been adapted by Anna Deavere Smith, the playwright who starred in Rhimes' For the People on ABC. Smith will executive produce the series as well.

'Pico & Sepulveda'

This is another historical drama series, set in California during the 1840s, when the state was still a part of Mexico. Named after an intersection in Los Angeles, the show will reportedly follow American forces as they storm the border and take the massive territory for themselves.

The show is created and executive produced by Janet Leahy, who has won a number of Writer's Guild of America Awards and picked up several Emmy nominations as well.

'Reset: My Fight for Inclusion and Lasting Change'

Another book adaptation, this series is based on a memoir written by Ellen Pao. It details her high-profile lawsuit against huge employer in Silicon Valley. Many believe that her fight against the status quo shook up the boys' club atmosphere of the industry, and could have even helped spark the #MeToo movement and the Time's Up campaign.

'The Residence'

Rhimes could not stay away from political drama for long, as The Residence will reportedly bring her right back into Washington D.C. The show follows White House staff, presidents and first families, and all the drama that their leadership status entails.

Afterward, they must utilize their survival skills as scouts to salvage what they can of humanity.

'Hot Chocolate Nutcracker'

Rhimes is taking on just about every genre TV has to offer, as Hot Chocolate Nutcracker is reportedly a docuseries. The show will follow Debbie Allen, who once executive produced Grey's Anatomy with Rhimes. Now, she is directing a fresh take on the classic ballet, and Rhimes' show captures all the drama that goes into it.

"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," Rhimes said in a statement published by The Hollywood Reporter. "Ted [Sarandos] and Cindy [Holland] and everyone at Netflix have been incredible partners in making that happen. This is Shondaland 2.0."

Finally, Rhimes has already announced that she is taking on an adaptation of Jessica Pressler's article "How Anna Delvey Tricked New York's Party People." Published by New York Magazine, the story follows a con artist who infiltrates the socialite world of New York City.
