Scandal Isn't Returning to TGIT Fall 2016
Yes you read that correctly, Shonda Rhimes' hit show, Scandal will not be a part of this Fall's TGIT lineup. No need to launch a Twitter attack, we will still have Grey's Anatomy and How to Get Away With Murder. I know some of you are saying that simply isn't enough and who or what can possibly fill this void, but there's no need to fret, there will be a show taking Scandal's place ( not a product of our Beloved Ms. Rhimes sadly). It's called Notorious and it will air at 9 pm., And Who knows, this may be your new favorite show (yes, I'm reaching).
Bitter Sweet. Scandal is only being removed from the "Shondaland" block temporarily, and the reason is actually the best thing ever. It’s because of Kerry Washington’s second pregnancy, which was announced a few weeks ago. She and husband Nnamdi Asomugha — the most low-key couple of all-time — are reportedly giving 2-year-old daughter Isabelle a little brother and sister.
This announcement also came right on the heels of Kerry announcing that she is taking a break from social media:
“It’s time for me to take a teeny break from social media. Feeling called to be a bit more quiet and still,” the “Scandal” star wrote on Instagram. “Not sure how long it’ll last but don’t worry, I’ll be back soon enough.”
