With the rise of streaming networks, top TV talent is being snapped up. Shonda Rhimes recently left ABC behind for Netflix, while Ryan Murphy signed a huge deal to defect from 20th Century Fox to the streaming giant. 

“I’m incredibly grateful to Peter Roth, Kevin Tsujihara, Craig Hunegs, Susan Rovner & Brett Paul and everyone else here at Warner Bros. who has provided me with such a wonderful home to tell stories for many years — and now many years to come,” Berlanti said in a statement, confirming the news.
