Shonda Rhimes Is TV Drama Royalty — Here's Every Show She's Worked On

Rhimes took a break from the medical world and launched a new kind of must-watch TV with the perfectly-titled 2012 hit, "Scandal." Centering on Olivia Pope, a high-powered DC fixer, and her team of associates, the show follows its characters through wildly twisty, high-stakes plots that range from minor political scandals to world-shattering conspiracies. Through it all, Olivia has to deal with plenty of personal complications too, from a deeply dangerous parent to a long-running, tormented affair with the President of the United States. "Scandal" signed off in 2018, after seven seasons on the air.
