LOS ANGELES, May 8 (UPI) -- Shonda Rhimes isn't going anywhere.

The 45-year-old screenwriter, director and producer just sold another project to her home network, ABC, E! News reports.

The Catch, produced by Rhimes and Betsy Beers, is an hourlong drama revolving around Alice Martine (Mirelle Enos), a successful fraud investigator who's about to become subject to fraud herself -- by her own fiancé (Damon Dayoub).

The new show will also star Alimi Ballard, Jay Hayden, Jacky Ido, Bethany Joy Lenz, Rose Rollins and Elvy Yost.

Rhimes now mothers four shows on ABC -- three of which have been renewed for next season. In the wake of McDreamy's on-screen death in Grey's Anatomy, Rhimes has proven she isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. With Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder, Rhimes doesn't show any signs of stopping.
