Shonda Rhimes Casts Familiar Faces
Are you ready for the next Shonda Rhimes hit? Instead of doctors and nurses, we have lawyers and public relations. But the premise will no doubt be similar: scandals, liaisons, and lots of sexual tension.
Shonda Rhimes has wasted no time casting some familiar faces from her other two hits: Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice.
We have Kate Burton as Vice President Sally Hewitt (formerly Ellis Grey on Grey's Anatomy); Jeff Perry as the chief of staff (formerly Meredith Grey's father); and JoBeth Williams (formerly Addison's mother) as a client to the main character Kerry Washington.

Political Grey's Anatomy
ABC just can't get enough of Shonda Rhimes! With the massive success of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice, Rhimes is taking her sixth ABC series to Washington.
Scandal promises juicy scandals at the epicenter of politics in Washington within a public relations company. Featuring a strong female lead much like Meredith and Addison, Kerry Washington is a former president's aide who starts her own PR firm.
Swap in some scrubs and doctors for lawyers/lobbyists/political agendas and you've got yourself a brand new hit! Will you be watching Scandal?
