Another Shondaland Show Might Be Coming to ABC This Fall
TGIT? More like TGI-the whole week.
ABC announced four pilot orders, including another new drama from uber-producer Shonda Rhimes. "The Catch," from creator Jennifer Schuur, centers on a woman who is about to get married - to a con man. But far from being a naive victim, she's a fraud investigator! When their opposing desires collide, they are thrown into "a dangerous game of cat and mouse."
It's no surprise that ABC is once again turning to Rhimes; her Shondaland production company has churned out buzzy hits including the current "TGIT" line-up: "Grey's Anatomy," "Scandal," and "How to Get Away With Murder." The latter show's star, Viola Davis, won a SAG Award for her role on Sunday.
ABC's other drama pilot is a female police procedural called "Broad Squad." The two comedies are higher-profile - one stars Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo (reuniting from their "Vacation" days), and the other is based on the life of sex columnist Dan Savage.
