It has been just over a year since the #MeToo movement came into existence, with many men in Hollywood being exposed for sexual harassment and other male stars criticizing the campaign for dividing the sexes.

During a recent interview with The Sunday Times, the Luther star was asked whether it is difficult being a man in the industry amidst the current #MeToo climate.

“It’s only difficult if you’re a man with something to hide,” replied the 46-year-old.

Idris’ response has been praised by women in the industry, including Shonda Rhimes and Ava DuVernay.

The Grey’s Anatomy creator retweeted the article with a simple, “See?”

Back in August last year, Shonda Rhimes signed a multi-year agreement with Netflix which would see her producing numerous series for the streaming network.

After all, this is the woman who brought us Grey’s Anatomy, How to Get Away with Murder, and Scandal.

Less than a year after the deal was finalized, Netflix has announced 8 new shows which will be created by the 48-year-old.

The first is based on the New York Magazine article “How Anna Delvey Tricked New York’s Party People” which details how the fraudulent socialite almost bluffed her way into a multi-million dollar deal.

Shonda and her business partner, Betsy Beers, will also take on Ellen Pao’s struggle to make her mark in the Silicon Valley boys club, a tale of African Americans fleeing the south in the early 1900s based on an Isabel Wilkerson novel, an adaption of the Bridgerton novels penned by Julia Quinn, a political series based on real-life accounts of White House staff members, an 1840s-era series set against the backdrop of the then-Mexican state of California, and a dark comedy where an apocalyptic disaster spares a rag-tag group of teenage girls at sleepaway camp.

No time to chill.

The mega-producer will tackle the infamous story of Anna Delvey, after acquiring the rights to the New York Magazine article, “How Anna Delvey Tricked New York’s Party People” by Jessica Pressler.

Delvey posed as a wealthy German heiress who conned her way into NYC’s social elite. She even managed to con people and financial institutions to fund her bogus lavish lifestyle. She is currently being held without bond in Rikers Island prison. 

This is Rhimes’ first project for the streaming giant since Shondaland’s exit after 15 years from ABC, where she launched serious hits like Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, How to Get Away With Murder and Private Practice.

At the time the deal was announced, Rhimes said in a statement, “Shondaland’s move to Netflix is the result of a shared plan Ted Sarandos and I built based on my vision for myself as a storyteller and for the evolution of my company. Ted provides a clear, fearless space for creators at Netflix. He understood what I was looking for—the opportunity to build a vibrant new storytelling home for writers with the unique creative freedom and instantaneous global reach provided by Netflix’s singular sense of innovation.”

No doubt this joins the list of the must-watch series on Netflix.
