‘Scandal Season 6:’ Everything We Know About The New Season

“Scandal season 6” is set to be back on 2017 and there are already a lot of questions and speculations about the new season. The trailer of the new season reveals that the results of the presidential election are out.

For those who forgot, there were two candidates in season 5 of the show. The candidates are Mellie (Bellamy Young) and Frankie Vargas (Ricardo Chavira). However, this isn’t the explosive revelation in the end of the season. It was also revealed that Cyrus (Jeff Perry) was up against Jake Ballard (Scott Foley) in vice presidential seat.

Will Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) win the election considering that she’s getting things done on her own? Also, will Pope & Associates get the White House again? That’s some of the questions that fans are eager to answer.

Season 6 will also have a new recurring character as the show welcomes Zoe Perry. There are still no specific details as to what Perry’s part will be in the show. ABC and Shondaland also haven’t announced when will Perry debut on the show, Variety reports.

With a new cast and a new revelation this season, will “Scandal season 6” still have the same momentum with its previous seasons? This has been one of the recurring questions that both the fans and the showrunners could be thinking.

Season 5 had a 1.8 rating. This means that the show runs behind “Grey’s Anatomy.”
