Still StarCrossed (2017) This period piece from the minds of Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers builds on the ever-popular world first put to paper in the 16th century by English playwright William Shakespeare in the famous tragedy "Romeo and Juliet." Picking up after the play's end -- with the titular characters both dead -- "Still Star-Crossed" follows the lives of their families, the long-feuding Montagues and Capulets, as they continue to find themselves entangled through tragedy, palace intrigue and even more ill-fated romances.
