Disney recently turned the screws on Netflix by pulling its content and unveiling a streaming service of its own, but now the tables have turned. Netflix revealed that it has signed Shonda Rhimes away from Disney-owned ABC to a multiyear production deal. Rhimes and her production company, Shondaland, will move from their ABC Studios base to Netflix, though she’ll continue to work on ABC shows currently airing or in development like Grey’s Anatomy.Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, but money is reportedly not the main reason Rhimes jumped ship. “I’m thrilled by the idea of a world where I’m not caught in the necessary grind of network television,” she told the WSJ. “Ted [Sarandos, Netflix’s CEO] provides a clear, fearless space for creators at Netflix.”
