Shonda Rhimes was already one of the most important creators in American television. Now at Netflix, she wants her “Shondaland” TV empire to expand around the globe and become a cultural staple whose name long outlives her own.

In an interview with the New York Times, Rhimes detailed her wide-ranging, multi-year deal (paywall) for the powerhouse streaming service, estimated to be worth around $150 million. The Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal creator, who formerly worked exclusively at American network ABC, has at least eight different shows in development at Netflix, with many more surely on the way.
