  • Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) has poached Shonda Rhimes from ABC (NYSE:DIS), stealing away one of Disney 's biggest TV hitmakers for a multi-year deal.
  • Rhimes and her company ShondaLand have had a 15-year relationship with ABC Studios that generated some of the network's longest-running hits, including How to Get Away With Murder, Grey's Anatomy and Scandal.
  • Netflix has carried older episodes of those series in the U.S. and some international markets. Now it gets a key producer to amp up its original content, as Rhimes will develop new shows and move ShondaLand over (though she'll continue to be involved in her existing ABC shows).
  • The news follows word that Netflix signed critically acclaimed filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen to make a Western series, as well as signed up David Letterman for new programming.
