"Grey’s Anatomy" creator Shonda Rhimes has sold ABC a period drama set in 1895, reports TVLine.com. 

The drama, "Gilded Lillys," is set in New York City and tracks the fictional story of the first luxury hotel built in the Big Apple, the story says.

The project is written by "The Nine" co-creator and "Gossip Girl" writer K.J. Steinberg, who will executive produce with Rhimes and Betsy Beers of "Grey’s Anatomy," the story says.
