According to Kerry Washington, you can consider the chemistry handled.
On Friday, June 7, Chanel and Tribeca’s Jane Rosenthal hosted a special afternoon to celebrate Through Her Lens: The Tribeca Chanel Women’s Filmmaker Program in New York City, and Washington spoke to PEOPLE about her love for Scandal creator Shonda Rhimes.
“Always happy to talk about Shonda!” said Washington, 47, who famously played D.C. fixer Olivia Pope on the ABC series that ran from 2012 to 2018.

Rhimes is also the mastermind behind Netflix’s wildly popular Bridgerton series, the leads of which are famous for their onscreen connections much like Washington and her Scandal costar Tony Goldwyn (President Fitzgerald Grant).
Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington and is the current female star of Bridgerton‘s third season, has said that she never did a chemistry test with her male costar Luke Newton, instead crediting Rhimes for her talented eye.

Washington then corroborated the story.
“I never did a chemistry read with Tony,” she revealed, agreeing that the chemistry between her and Goldwyn was simply always there.

During an appearance on PEOPLE in 10 on June 6, Goldwyn, 64, shared how he’s been making a case for Washington to make an appearance on his latest TV venture: Law & Order.
“I’m all for it,” he said of a potential cameo and laughed, “I have been sort of needling her about it.”
Washington, for her part, shares that she’s equally as game.
“I will go anywhere Tony tells me to go,” she told PEOPLE at the June 7 event.

Washington also serves on the Through Her Lens program’s advisory committee, and she hosted a panel after the luncheon on Friday alongside director, writer and producer Patty Jenkins and five-time Emmy-winning composer Laura Karpman.
Katie Holmes, Selma Blair and Christy Turlington were also in attendance at the luncheon, as were Joey King, Jenny Slate and Emily Mortimer.
The Through Her Lens mentorship program provides industry support, artistic development and funding to emerging women and non-binary filmmakers in the United States, according to a press release.
Now, in its ninth year, the program helps its finalists hone their short-film projects throughout a three-day workshop each fall, with the winner ultimately receiving a grant to produce their film with guidance from Tribeca.
Rosenthal, 67, co-founded the 23-year-strong fest with Robert De Niro and Craig Hatkoff following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. This year, De Niro will be honored with his very own convention, taking place in New York City from June 14 to 16.
“When [De Niro] sees the fifth floor at Spring Studios, that’s when it will be real to me,” Rosenthal told PEOPLE at the luncheon of bringing the convention to life.
Aptly called De Niro Con, the celebration will honor the 80-year-old screen legend with a program consisting of special screenings, panels and exhibits.

A contract worker was killed by a falling tree on Monday afternoon in Washington County, officials said.
The Washington County Office of the Coroner said in a news release that the contractor was killed after the tree fell on them around 4 p.m. The worker, who was not immediately identified, was hired to cut down a tree at a residence on Lynn Portal Road in Canton Township, and it fell in an unintended direction, killing the person, the coroner said.
No other information was immediately released on Monday evening. The Greene-Washington Regional Police Department and the coroner are investigating.
This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
On September 11, 2025, after 11 years at the Washington Post as an editor and columnist, I was fired via email.
In the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing, I did what I have always done— and was expected to do — as a public voice and columnist on race, gender, and culture: I commented on America’s racial double standards in public discourse when it comes to political violence. You can read my posts below.
And then this post of mine:
The very next day, I was fired from my job at the Washington Post without so much as a conversation.
According to the termination letter from the Post, the company cited these two Bluesky posts, claimed that I disparaged white men, accused me of ‘gross misconduct’, and that my Bluesky posts “potentially endanger[ed] the physical safety of our staff”.
You can read the letter for yourself here.
In October, along with the Washington Post Guild and the Washington-Baltimore News Guild, we filed a grievance against the Post, challenging the termination.
So, I have some updates…
The arbitration hearing will be this Thursday, June 4, in Washington, D.C.
As the last remaining Black full-time staff columnist in the Washington Post’s Opinions section, I was very aware of what my firing represented for diversity in newsrooms.
While newsroom diversity is absolutely critical, it is not the only principle at stake. I am fighting for journalists’ rights to do their jobs, to comment on matters of public concern without fear of censorship, retaliation, or political pressure.
And this is a battle well worth having.
I am thankful for the support of the Washington Post Guild, my lawyers at the Washington Baltimore News Guild, as well as Norman Eisen and the legal support from the Democracy Defenders Fund.
And of course, I am deeply grateful to my readers, followers, friends, mentors, and the industry peers who have supported me throughout my career and through what has been one of the most personally and professionally challenging periods of my life.
The stakes are high, but I’m ready.
Let’s go.
