Bridgerton producer Shonda Rhimes on how to make a compelling TV show | Master the Art | Bazaar UK

Shonda Rhimes has been responsible for some of the most popular programmes in recent history - from long-running shows like Grey's Anatomy and Scandal, to limited series like Inventing Anna, and of course, everyone's favourite Regency drama, Bridgerton.
"We make projects that we want to watch - that's really it," Shonda Rhimes tells us in the latest episode of our Master the Art franchise. "I read Julia Quinn's [Bridgerton] books over and over again; I thought that they were amazing. I could see myself in them which meant that they felt universal to me, and I thought that these would make great shows. I would want to watch them, and I felt like other people would want to watch them too. That's pretty much how we choose to make our projects.... We follow our gut and we make the projects that we love."
In our latest episode of Master the Art, the producer of Bridgerton, Scandal and Grey's Anatomy shares her advice.

Bridgerton came at the absolute perfect time. Talk about divine timing. It was in the midst of the Me Too and BLM protests during a pandemic we had no idea when it would end. To have a show with so many people of color in key roles and a cast so ethnically diverse we all felt seen, and women taking control of their own lives... it was divine timing.

I love shonda. So much that every time I watch a show or film I check if she makes it. And if she does . I know it’s going to be a sad part every time that cries me to sleep

Would like to see Bridgerton come back. Two seasons was not enough. Is Eloisa gay or just obnnoxious.
