Eight new Shonda Rhimes shows announced by Netflix Netflix and Shondaland have officially announced the first slate of series being developed by Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers and their team to premiere exclusively for Netflix members around the world. It was announced last August that Rhimes would depart ABC and sign exclusively with Netflix. “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.
