If you're anything like me, I bet you've already rattled your way through the recently-added instalment of Bridgerton at record speed and are already looking for a brand new Netflix banger to binge your way through this weekend.
Many fans of the big-name regency hit have seemingly continued down the period-drama route after finishing the eagerly-awaited third season, going on to lose their minds over a raunchy new series My Lady Jane and obsess over 'intense' noughties favourite The Tudors.
Other Bridgerton fans, however, have opted to follow-up their intrigue with Shondaland, the American television production company behind the award-winning title, instead.
And what you may not be aware of, is that TV boss Shonda Rhimes is actually behind countless other on-screen successes, one of which many telly fanatics have been sinking their teeth into this week.

Not only did Shondaland produce legendary medical favourite Grey's Anatomy, but they're also the geniuses behind the likes of real-life thriller Inventing Anna, political-romance Scandal and crime heart-stopper, The Catch.
Also on Shondaland's impressive roster is a star-studded legal drama, filled to the brim with jaw-dropping plot twists, villainous murders, scandalous love affairs, and lots and lots of sex.
Basically, everything you can want from a series, yes?
Titled How To Get Away With Murder, the ABC series stars Oscar-winning actress Viola Davies as scrupulous defence attorney and university law professor Annalise Keating who, along with five of her highest-achieving students, become embroiled in a chilling murder plot.
While the group attempt to uncover the truth behind the crime - which saw the body of a missing female student foumd in her sorority's water tank - Annalise discovers that the perpetrator could be slightly closer to home that she'd have liked...
Anyone else got chills?
Anyway, though the series first aired on ABC back in 2014, it's only recently that many Bridgerton fans are discovering the hit thriller after researching the show's production firm.
And let's just say that newbies to the Primetime Emmy-winning series have not been left disappointed.
Taking to social media, one gushed: "How to get away with murder was so sick bc they shot this man in the head, outed him, and then called ICE on him to get him deported so he wouldn’t get them arrested"
"How to get away with murder is such a 10/10 show," another went on.
A third added: "Everyone should watch how to get away with murder at LEAST once"
"okay how to get away with murder good so farrr," another continued.
And on top of this, it turns out that the show even has some famous fans, with chart-topping musician Sam Smith also tweeting about it.
"How to get away with murder is honestly getting me through lockdown," they wrote.
"If anyone needs something to watch, I can’t express enough how good it is. Viola Davis has my heart forever"
