Shonda Rhimes is often not one to talk spoilers, but at the Television Critics Press tour this week, she offered a few clues as to what we can expect when Scandal picks up for Season 5 this Fall.
“For Scandal, we are picking up almost pretty much where we left off, which was a pretty harrowing place,” the talented Executive Producer says. “The world had been fairly blown apart for everybody, except for Olivia and Fitz who were ‑‑ we left them on the Truman Balcony doing some kissing, I think…. but everybody else was in a fairly blown‑apart place. Cyrus was no longer working in the White House. Melanie was no longer living in the White House because Fitz had kicked her out. Jake had said he was walking away. Quinn was thinking about killing Huck. So, you know, things were not going so well for people. And we pick up sort of right there in that environment, and we see what happens next,” she teases.
Scandal returns for Season 5 September 24 on ABC.
