Scandal fans have to wait until midseason for season six of the ABC series, but Shonda Rhimes did offer a small teaser for the upcoming season to Entertainment Weekly.

There is a time jump planned before the start of season six. The new season will start on election night, and fans will learn who will take office and replace Fitz. Season five ended with Mellie and her opponent revealing their choices for VP.

Rhimes said the following:

“We are basically going to start our season on election night. Yes, it is going to play into our season, but we’re not going to spend our time playing an election.”
