Bela Bajaria, the Chief Content Officer for Netflix, revealed that Shonda Rhimes actually prefers the separation of the season!
Bela was asked about Netflix’s decision to split some shows, like The Crown and Stranger Things, while not splitting up others, like Ginny & Georgia.
“Some of those have been for reasons, because it was during Covid and strikes to get the shows on so audiences don’t have to wait for a long time. A lot of times it’s been creator-driven. Peter Morgan on The Crown, Shonda Rhimes on Bridgerton, there was a way that they wanted to structure or write it because they felt it was an actual, natural emotional break. So there’s no set way, it depends on what’s best for the show,” Bela told Deadline.
