“The Circle” tells the story ten friends, adopted as children by a billionaire philanthropist, who begin seeking answers about their mysterious upbringing when one of their own is murdered, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
This is the fourth sale for Rhimes this season, a major accomplishment for any television producer. In August she sold “Gilded Lillys,” a thrilling drama that revolves around the staff of a New York City luxury hotel, and just last month, FOX bought Rhime’s drama series “Wildwood.” Rhimes is also gearing up for the early 2012 premiere of “Scandal” starring screen siren Kerry Washington and hottie Columbus Short.
