Rhimes created “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Scandal,” and “How to Get Away with Murder”—making her the most powerful showrunner in television. Her shows dominate Thursday nights, feature diverse casts, and center Black women as leads in roles traditionally reserved for white actors. Olivia Pope is a Black woman running Washington as a crisis manager. Annalise Keating is a Black woman defense attorney who’s brilliant, flawed, and complex. Rhimes normalized diversity on TV not by making a statement but by treating representation as default. Her formula: compelling characters, breakneck plots, and appointment television you can’t miss.
