After Dr. Addison Montgomery became a fan favorite in Seasons 2 and 3 of Greys Anatomy, creator Shonda Rhimes gave Kate Walsh her own spin-off, Private Practice, set in the sunny climes of Los Angeles.
This ABC medical drama which ran for six seasons between 2007 and 2013 also featured actors like Audra McDonald, Paul Adelstein, Kadee Strickland, Amy Brenneman, and future Greys star Caterina Scorsone.
In 2012, Shonda created Scandal, a political thriller based on the life of crisis management guru Judy Smith.
The ABC drama stars Kerry Washington, whos been twice nominated for Emmys by now, and featured guest appearances by future Greys stars Jerrika Hinton and Kelly McCreary.
Stacy McKee (pictured here), whos been rising in the producer ranks on Greys since Season 1, is helming an upcoming Greys spin-off about Seattles firefighters. The untitled drama is scheduled to debut in the 2017-2018 TV season.
Peter Nowalk went from co-producer to producer to supervising producer from Season 7 to Season 9 of Greys Anatomy, then worked on Scandal, then launched How to Get Away With Murder in 2014.
The Shondaland legal thriller, headed into its fourth season on ABC, stars Viola Davis as a cutthroat defense attorney mentoring a gaggle of troublesome law students. The series has earned Viola an Emmy and two SAG Awards.
Allan Heinberg worked his way up the producing staff between Season 3 and Season 6 of Greys before working on Scandal and then creating The Catch a Shondaland drama about a private investigator, played by Mireille Enos, defrauded by her fianc, played by Peter Krause.
ABC just canceled the show last month, on the day of its Season 2 finale, but dont cry for Allan: He wrote the screenplay for the blockbuster Wonder Woman.
Heather Mitchell served as co-producer for Greys Anatomy Season 8 before moving on to Scandal.
Now she has adapted the Melinda Taub book Still Star-Crossed for TV audiences, continuing the story of Romeo and Juliet in a lavish ABC drama (which, unfortunately, seems poised for cancellation).
This Shondaland medical drama took the action out of the hospital and into a remote South American village, and it was Greys co-executive producer Jenna Bans who worked on the show from Season 4 to Season 6 who created it.
ABC canceled Off the Map in 2011 after 13 episodes, Jenna went back to work on Greys as a consulting producer for Season 8, and stars Martin Henderson and Jason George eventually got series regular roles on Greys.
In this thriller, another TV drama Jenna created, Joan Allen plays a politician whose son returns home not at all like the boy whod disappeared years prior.
ABC axed The Family in 2016 after one season.
Married producers Joan Rater and Tony Phelan, who were the Greys showrunners from Season 8 to Season 10, created this years CBS legal drama Doubt, starring former Greys star Katherine Heigl as a high-profile attorney who falls for a client charged with murder.
CBS canceled the show in February after just two episodes, but the network will air the remaining 11 episodes starting in July.
Marti Noxon, who worked alongside Joss Whedon on Buffy and Angel, served as consulting producer on Greys Anatomys third season and as showrunner on Private Practices first season.
Before that, however, she co-created Point Pleasant, a 2005 FOX drama about a teen whose arrival in a New Jersey town sparks a spate of supernatural events. It lasted 11 episodes.
Marti also adapted Vicki Iovines Girlfriends Guides books for TV. This Bravo series stars Lisa Edelstein as a self-help author navigating a messy breakup from her husband, played by Private Practice alum Paul Adelstein.
Youve likely heard of UnREAL, the Lifetime series Marti co-created. The drama takes viewers behind the scenes of a Bachelor-like reality show, with Shiri Appleby and Constance Zimmer playing the producers-slash-puppeteers pulling the strings.
HBO is bringing the novel Sharp Objects, from Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn, to the small screen with Marti at the helm. Amy Adams (pictured here) leads the cast of the forthcoming eight-episode series, playing a journalist battling psychological demons while reporting on a brutal murder in her hometown.
Before his roles on Scandal, Marry Me, and 24: Legacy, Dan Bucatinsky was a consulting producer for Seasons 9 and 10 of Greys Anatomy.
And before that, in 2008, he and husband Don Roos co-created the web series Web Therapy with Lisa Kudrow. The comedy, in which Lisa plays a therapist for hire over webcam, was picked up by Showtime for four seasons, starting in 2011.
Krista Vernoff (pictured here) led the Greys writing room from Season 4 to Season 7 and introduced catchphrase Seriously? and shes returning to Greys for Season 14 now that Stacy is working on the firefighter spin-off.
In 2011, she wrote the ABC pilot Grace, a family drama about a famous and famously womanizing choreographer, played by Eric Roberts, who played Jacksons father last season on Greys.
Kip Koenig, a consulting producer and a supervising producer for the first three seasons of Greys Anatomy, created the show Septuplets in 2002.
The FOX drama which focused on a set of septuplets struggling to adjust to life post-fame and starred Losts Maggie Grace, pictured here was canceled before it aired.
James Parriott, who mentored Shonda during the first season of Greys, has created many shows like the NBC adventure series Voyagers!, which ran from 1982 to 1983 and focused on a time traveler and his young friend who repair errors in world history.
Two years later, in 1985, James created another one-season-wonder on NBC. This one, Misfits of Science, focused on a team of human anomalies with superpowers including one played by a young Courteney Cox.
In 1992, way before supernatural crimefighters were so popular on TV, James created Forever Knight, a CBS drama about an 800-year-old vampire working as a Toronto police detective. It ran for three seasons before concluding in 1996.
Midway through the run of The Montel Williams Show, Montel Williams starred in this short-lived CBS drama James created in 1996. The talk show host played a retired naval officer who starts working at a hardscrabble New Jersey high school. CBS canceled the show after just six episodes.
Jamess next show, a 2002 dramedy about a young woman who becomes a vice consul at the U.S. Embassy in London, lasted even shorter. FOX canceled The American Embassy after just four episodes. In brighter news, though, it featured future Greys star Eric Dane.
Jamess next series came in 2009. With romantically-entangled astronauts embarking a six-year mission across the solar system, Defying Gravity was dubbed Greys Anatomy in space but lasted only eight episodes on ABC.
