Shonda Rhimes can do “anything she wants” when she moves to over to Netflix. So says Joe "Papa Pope" Morton, who won an Emmy for his role on Rhimes’ hit show “Scandal.” He joined Cheddar to share his thoughts on working with the prolific producer, and what her future looks like in streaming. “Someone like Shonda gets invited to Netflix because of who she is, because of what she writes,” Morton said. “Whatever dreams she may have about what she will want to do in the future, obviously Netflix offers her those kind of opportunities that a network, TV cannot offer.” Morton calls Rhimes “the best boss [he’s] ever had” and says the Netflix deal gives her the ability to flex her creative imagination. Rhimes is behind other female-driven shows such as “Grey’s Anatomy” and “How to Get Away with Murder.” Those programs and “Scandal”, which will start airing its final episodes next month, as well as two series debuting in the new year, will continue to air on ABC. But new projects out of the Shondaland studio will be released on the streaming service. And Rhimes isn’t the only Scandal star heading to the streaming world. Morton is working on his own series, “Inside the Black Box.” “It is very much like ‘Inside the Actors Studio’, only from a black point of view,” he said.
