Scandal has been renewed for season six by ABC, but will next season be its last? The stars spoke about that possibility, and they are leaving the future of the series in hands of its creator, who is Shonda Rhimes.
Ad Week shared the latest comments made by Tony Goldwyn about the series, and he knows his presidency is up at the end of next season. This puts his time on the series in question. He said the following:
“I’m assuming at the end of next season, my presidency will be finished. So what happens to Scandal once there’s a new president? Either that’s the end or Shonda has something in mind that may or may not include me, a whole other direction. “Shonda and her team constantly paint themselves into corners, storytelling-wise, where you go, well, you’re never going to be able to get out of that! And they do,” says Goldwyn. “So I do believe that even if she intended to end the show there, if she suddenly thought, hmm, let’s do something totally different, I would not be surprised at all.”
Kerry Washington was brief with her own comments about the end of the series. She is the one putting her trust in the hands of Rhimes.
This series is still one of the top shows on ABC, and it is integral part of the TGIT lineup. The storytelling has made a lot of twists and turns this season, and this writer is thinking that it might be time to wrap things up with the end of Fitz’s presidency.
Are you a fan of Scandal? Do you want the series to go beyond Fitz’s presidency? Tell us what you think.
Cancel….do you think people are just sitting here waiting until your good and ready to begin “the season” on “your” schedule….what nerve….I’ve lost interest….cancel I won’t be watching!
I am shocked!!!! I’ve been waiting for Scandal only to find it cancelled!!! We here in North Carolina n D.C. love the show!!!! You guys have one hell of a following!!! Don’t dismiss the show?!! Think of the huge fan base you have!!! I’m a D.C. native living now in N.C. I keep in touch with friends back home n they are blown away!!! We had Scandal nights every Thursday!!! We’d have conference calls while we all have made our Thursday night Scandal meals n converse over the phone!!!! Please bring the show back?!?!?!
Please, please, please don’t cancel Scandal, our household loves the show!!! Thank you 🙂
I watched “Scandal” from the day it started and fell in love with it especially Olivia Pope she’s fantastic. Please don’t cancel this show out!!
Please do not cancelled Scandal I love it cancelling is the wrong thing to do , continue the wonderful work you have done so far.
The show has been too over the top for seversl seasons. I once really loved the show. Now its time end it on a high note. Greys need to be retired to. Rhimes is writer with such great vision…Im sure shes already creating something new and fantastic
I enjoy Scandal so much. Can’t believe they are talking about cancelling it. I’m so upset that ABC cancelled NASHVILLE now SCANDAL too. Wow can’t believe it.
Ditto on both shows Jean. These high $ network execs who’ve made decisions of seasons less than 13 episodes, extended off season, less than 3 seasons is a success, show complete disrespect for fans. Those little people, like me, who actually support advertisers who support shows I enjoy. Who knows? Things have way of coming back around. If aint broke don’t fix it, so I say.
They just need to retool the storyline. I think they should kill off the father, that story line is getting old. I am sorry but he needs to go. The fact that he lingers on and on is ridiculous. I also liked it when she was out solving a weekly crisis.
Please don’t cancel Scandal it is my favorite show!
Don’.t cancel the show
Please don’t cancel the Scandal series. We will follow Liv and Fitz wherever you put them, but their saga needs to continue. I think the show would weaken if Fitz is written out. I don’t have the answer as to where the 2 will go from the Presidency, but they need to stay as a team. Would not be the same if another partner is written in for Olivia.
Cancel the Scandal show and do not waste your money. No one will watch it.
Please do not cancel Scandal I love the show Fitz will find a place in the show! Even if it’s by Millie’s side.
never by Mellie side.
End the show on a high note.
Tool late for that, the show is so horrible
I do not understand why they did several time jumps in this show by fast tracking Fitz’s second term. They truly missed an opportunity for the longevity of the show and I don’t think the show would last once Fitz is not president anymore, unless if he teams up with Nelly and she wins the election. Only a couple shows has been able to get away with retooling the main character and plot lines such as Homeland.
