ABC has picked up another drama pitch from Shonda Rhimes‘ Shondaland shingle.
STORY: The Quiet Mystery of Shonda Rhimes
The one-hour project, which hails from ABC Studios, centers on a young, idealistic and recently fired defense lawyer struggles to start his own firm with an eclectic group of lawyer misfits, while starting to realize that he may have been fired from his old job because he got too close to a deadly cover-up.
Jenna Bans (Off the Map, Grey’s Anatomy) will serve as a writer and executive producer, with Rhimes and Betsy Beers on board as nonwriting executive producers.

Rhimes is repped by ICM; Beers is with UTA.
