Scandal‘s new season premieres on January 19, 2017! Get a first look at new episodes in an intense teaser trailer.

Thursday night is one of the *best* nights for TV, mostly because of Shondaland. And don’t get me wrong: I’ve been enjoying Grey’s Anatomy‘s non-stop drama and the crazy who’s #UnderTheSheet mystery of How to Get Away with Murder (*whispers* it’s either Frank or Nate, right???).
I’m even enjoying Notorious and the art-imitating-life storylines regarding the impact on media in our politics and criminal justice system.
With that said, I miss Scandal SO much. I miss Liv and the OPA, strutting around and kicking ass for the Republic. And lord knows that after this week, I might not mind a Papa Pope like figure sweeping in with B-613 and saving us from ourselves. *sigh* I digress…
Anywho, last week ABC announced that Scandal will be back for Season 6 starting Thursday, January 19, 2017 at 9:00pm!
Even better, we got a teaser trailer, which shows us that things are about to get even more intense…
They’ll also be getting the results of the election with the Mellie/Jake ticket vs. Francisco Vargas/Cyrus. There will be literal explosions, secret struggles for power, and some Olitz/Fitzlivia sweetness. Take a look:

I can’t wait! And what’s this about Mellie not wanting to run for POTUS, but Liv not being done? Hmmm…
What are you most looking forward to in Scandal‘s sixth season?

Also, ABC announced that the Grey’s and HTGAWM winter finales will air on Thursday, November 17, but will return for new episodes on January 19 too.
Long live TGiT!
