Just over a year ago, American director, producer and screenwriter Shonda Rhimes left ABC to sign a four-year deal with Netflix. We know more about his first project.

A series inspired by a true story

If Shonda Rhimes was very busy with the seventh and final season of Scandal or more recently the fourteenth and fifteenth installments of Grey's Anatomy, she has not forgotten her collaboration with Netflix. For her first series on the platform, the creator of Grey's Anatomy will be inspired by a true story.

A recent New York Magazine article meticulously explains the fraud against Anna Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin. This publication reveals how the infamous 27-year-old New Yorker led banks and the wealthy to provide her with many notes, presenting herself as a rich German heiress. Anna Delvey therefore engages her worldly and luxurious life in the largest institutions, before the scam is discovered, and she is sent to the prison of Rikers Island in New York.

Since the publication of the article written by Jessica Dessler, the label Shondaland Productions, partner of Rhimes, has wasted no time since it has already bought the rights to these lines. Shonda Rhimes will write the screenplay, and the series adaptation for Netflix, a first since the success Scandal.

If no other information has been unveiled by the producer or even Netflix, find for now, the fourteenth season of Grey's Anatomy, currently broadcast on TF1.
