ABC Orders Shonda Rhimes Pilot about Black PR Consultant
(eurweb.com) — ABC delivered Shonda Rhimes an early Christmas present Friday, handing the uber-producer the network’s first official pilot order this development season, reports Variety. 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.
