Shonda Rhimes and Netflix are expanding their partnership, which is reported to encompass feature films and video games in addition to television.
Rhimes and her partner Betsy Beers will exclusively produce, stream, and distribute feature films by means of their Shondaland Media brand which may also include gaming and virtual reality content.
Speaking of their partnership, Rhimes said in a statement: “When Ted and I decided to break the traditional network TV business model to move Shondaland to Netflix, we were both taking a leap into the unknown.”
“Today, Shondaland at Netflix is creatively thriving, profitable as an asset and engaging audiences around the world with stories that fearlessly challenge viewers and keep them highly entertained all at once.
“Ted, Bela and the entire team at Netflix have been tremendous partners during every step of the process, supporting my creative vision and showing a continued dedication to the innovation that has made Netflix such a powerhouse.
“The Shondaland team and I are thrilled and excited to be expanding our relationship with our content partners at Netflix.”
According to Variety, Netflix will invest in and offer “financial and technical infrastructure to support Shondaland’s mission to create DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility) programs that can increase industry workplace representation for underrepresented groups both domestically and in the UK.”
