Game of Thrones (Sky Atlantic, 9pm)
Didn’t stay up until the wee hours to watch the latest installment of Game of Thrones? Now is your time. Just stay off the internet for the day.
Everyone’s talking about… Shonda Rhimes
The Grey’s Anatomy/How To Get Away with Murder/Scandal creator has just signed a massive deal worth $10 million a year with Netflix, meaning we’re about to see a lot more Shondaland TV on Netflix.
Shondaland’s move to Netflix is the result of a shared plan Ted Sarandos and I built based on my vision for myself as a storyteller and for the evolution of my company. Ted provides a clear, fearless space for creators at Netflix. He understood what I was looking for — the opportunity to build a vibrant new storytelling home for writers with the unique creative freedom and instantaneous global reach provided by Netflix’s singular sense of innovation. The future of Shondaland at Netflix has limitless possibilities.
Netflix proving once again that it’s the undisptuted king of television.
