The untitled drama, to be written by Rhimes, follows the “life and work of a professional fixer and her dysfunctional staff.” The show is based on the life of real-life African American crisis management consultant Judy Smith, who is familiar to TV industry execs from her stint as senior VP of corporate communications at NBC.
