Where Romeo and Juliet’s tragedy ends, an even bigger story begins: Verona is burning in the first trailer for Shonda Rhimes’ ABC drama Still Star-Crossed, a project that picks up where William Shakespeare’s story left off, charting the treachery, palace intrigue and ill-fated romances of the Montagues and Capulets in the wake of the young lovers’ tragic fate.
