T hroughout her career journey, Shonda Rhimes has continued to set the bar high in the entertainment industry. She is the first Black woman to develop and executive produce a Top 10 network series and she is continuing to make historic moves. According to the Huffington Post , Rhimes’ show Grey’s Anatomy hit a major milestone, becoming the longest-running medical drama in U.S. television history. “A lot has happened in 332 episodes and tomorrow we become the longest-running primetime medical drama,” she wrote. “People. You don’t want to miss this!” https://t.co/YQbq3bbf88 — HuffPost BlackVoices (@blackvoices) February 28, 2019 On Thursday, when the show aired its 332nd episode, it took the title away from ER which ran for 15 seasons and had a total of 331 episodes. The current cast of Grey’s Anatomy features actors Jesse Williams , Ellen Pompeo and Justin Chambers . The show made its debut in 2005 and has been going strong ever since. “I wanted to see people on television who look like me, and I wanted to see people on television who look like my friends. And I didn’t relate to a lot of the women on television because they didn’t seem realistic. It was just about writing people I wanted to watch, and writing people who felt like the people I knew. That’s what we ended up doing,” said Rhimes in an interview with Business Insider . She also added that it’s important to authentically bring narratives to life when working in television and not chase trends. “The goal is to make sure it’s not a trend. I don’t know what I can do to encourage it. I tell the stories I tell and I do it naturally.” Rhimes has seen success with many of the projects that she’s created including Private Practice , Scandal , and How to Get Away with Murder . In 2017, she inked a multi-year deal with Netflix where through her Shondaland production company she will develop eight series.

C hanning Dungey , the ABC Entertainment Group president who pulled the plug on the Roseanne reboot, turned a page in her impressive career that includes becoming the first Black president at a major broadcast network. See Also: 7 Times Black TV Shows Got Political And We Loved It The online streaming giant Netflix hired Dungey as a vice president who will oversee original content, Hollywood Reporter said on Monday. “I’m drawn to the forward-thinking, risk-taking and creative culture at Netflix, and the deeply talented people there, especially Ted (Sarandos) and Cindy (Holland) , with whom I’m excited to partner on setting the strategy for original content,” said Dungey, who starts her new position in February. Dungey was expected to share the vice president of originals position with Holland and report directly to her. The Black executive will also have a direct line of communication to content chief Sarando. Joining Netflix also gives Dungey the opportunity to reconnect with Shonda Rhimes , the creator of “Scandal,” and “Black-ish” creator Kenya Barris . Netflix ain't playing. https://t.co/GWp275l1Wc — Tre'vell Anderson (@TrevellAnderson) December 17, 2018 Dungey, who spent most of her career at ABC, created a lot of buzz from industry watchers who speculated about Dungey’s next move following her announced departure from the network. It came after she canceled Roseanne Barr ’s show over Barr’s racist comment about former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett . “Given that ABC, the place I’ve called home for nearly 15 years, represents the gold standard of traditional broadcast, it feels like the perfect next step for me to join Netflix, the unparalleled leader in streaming. I’m invigorated by the challenges ahead and the opportunity to forge new relationships, and excited for the very welcome reunion with incredible talent,” Dungey said. Speculation had focused on Dungey either joining one of two Netflix-based production companies: Rhimes’ Shondaland or the Obamas’ Higher Ground. She has the best of both worlds. Dungey’s new positon gives her greater oversight of both companies, according to Hollywood Reporter. “We’re delighted to be adding Channing’s expertise, leadership and deep experience to Netflix, and I look forward to partnering with her as we continue to grow and evolve our global network. I have been a fan of her character and approach from our early days as executives,” Holland commented.
