Shondaland’s broadcast TV slate is under new management, tasked with preserving the groundbreaking legacy of ABC’s long-running franchise.

The beloved dramas “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Station 19” welcomed new showrunners this season after longtime executive producer Krista Vernoff’s exit, with Meg Marinis steering the flagship medical drama’s landmark 20th season, and Peter Paige and Zoanne Clack leading the firefighter spin-off through its farewell installment. The responsibility is no small feat for all three writer-producers, who’ve been key players in the Shondaland creative team for years now.

“It is a big, overwhelming job,” Marinis, who first joined “Grey’s” as a medical researcher in Season 3, told TheWrap.
