While ABC has not yet given a wide release to a full cast shot for Scandal Season 3, they have put out individual cast images for a gallery to promote the third season, which premieres October 3.
Here’s how they describe the third season:
Everyone has secrets… and Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) has dedicated her life to protecting and defending the public images of the nation’s elite by keeping those secrets under wraps. Pope’s team are at the top of their game when it comes to getting the job done for their clients, but it becomes apparent that these “gladiators in suits,” who specialize in fixing the lives of other people, have trouble fixing those closest at hand — their own.
“Scandal” stars Kerry Washington (“Ray”) as Olivia Pope, Columbus Short (“Stomp the Yard”) as Harrison Wright, Guillermo Diaz (“Half-Baked”) as Huck, Darby Stanchfield as Abby Whelan, Katie Lowes as Quinn Perkins, Tony Goldwyn (“Ghost”) as President Fitzgerald Grant, Jeff Perry (“Grey’s Anatomy”) as Cyrus, Bellamy Young as First Lady Mellie Grant, Joshua Malina (“West Wing”) as David Rosen and Scott Foley (“Felicity”) as Captain Jake Ballard.
The series is created by Shonda Rhimes (“Grey’s Anatomy,” “Private Practice”). Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers (“Grey’s Anatomy,” “Private Practice”) are executive producers. Mark Wilding and Judy Smith are co-executive producers. “Scandal” is produced by ABC Studios and is broadcast in 720 Progressive (720P), ABC’s selected HDTV format, with 5.1-channel sound.
