After countless years on ABC, where she took over Thursday nights with her hit shows Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder and Greyโ€™s Anatomy, the TV producer announced that sheโ€™ll have eight shows on Netflix and will be delivering content that viewers havenโ€™t seen before.

She revealed during her sit down with Netflixโ€™s chief content officer, Ted Sarandos, that she wouldnโ€™t be making a repeat of Greyโ€™s Anatomy, the New York Times reports.

โ€œI said, โ€˜Iโ€™m not going to make you a second Greyโ€™s Anatomy,โ€ said Rhimes. โ€œThat was one of the first things I said. And he said, โ€˜Iโ€™m not interested in you making a second Greyโ€™s Anatomy.โ€

Hereโ€™s the list of shows on the way:

A show about a fashionable young grifter written about in New York magazine named Anna Delvey, who conned New York socialites into funding her lavish lifestyle but now sheโ€™s living her not so lavish life in Rikers Island, behind bars.

A version of the Bridgerton Series, which is about eight siblings set in the 1800s, turned into a dramatic series.

A series based on Reset, a book by Ellen Pao about sexism in Silicon Valley.

Pico & Sepulveda, a series set in Mexican California during the 1840s.

The Warmth of Other Suns, a book about the flight of African Americans from the Jim Crow South to the North and the West, thatโ€™ll be adapted by Anna Deavere Smith.

The Residence, based off of a nonfiction book about the private lives of U.S. presidents, their family, and the staff.

Sunshine Scouts, which Rhimes describes as โ€œdarkly comic, ironic, twisty show about some foul-mouthed teenage girls who are trapped at the end of the world.โ€

Hot Chocolate Nutcracker, a documentary on Debbie Allen reimagining the ballet The Nutcracker.

Iโ€™ve already decided which shows Iโ€™ll be watching, which is all of them and canโ€™t wait for them to be released.
