Shonda Rhimes is getting behind another series project from a key writer-producer on one of her shows. In a competitive situation, ABC has nabbed Still Star-Crossed, a Romeo and Juliet sequel drama from Scandal co-executive producer Heather Mitchell.
Written by Mitchell, Still Star-Crossed is set in 16th century Verona after the events in William Shakespeare’s tragedy. It follows the conflict between the Capulets and the Montagues in the wake of Romeo and Juliet’s deaths.
