You Have To Wait One More Week To See The Return Of Scandal

The highly-anticipated return of ABC's tony #TGIT line-up has just been pushed back by one more week, making the wait for the season six premiere of Scandal, as well as the midseason returns of Grey's Anatomy and How to Get Away With Murder just a little bit longer.

As President-elect Donald Trump is due to be sworn into office on Friday, Jan. 20, ABC has opted to air a new 20/20 special, America's First Family: The Trumps Go to Washington, in the 10 p.m. timeslot on Thursday, Jan. 19. And per ABC's press release, both Grey's and Scandal will be pushed in order to keep the big TGIT return intact.

 That, of course, means that you better be marking Thursday, Jan. 26 in your calendars as your new night to celebrate.

When we last saw our favourite fictional D.C. players, they were in the midst of an especially crazy election year, not unlike us in the real world. With Cyrus named Francisco Vargas' running mate, pitting him against Mellie, Olivia Pope's continued power in the nation's capital remains very much in limbo. The results of the election will be revealed when the show returns in just a few weeks, and true to form, Scandal fans would be wise to expect the unexpected.

ABC's entire TGIT line-up, comprised of Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, and How to Get Away With Murder returns on its new date, Thursday, Jan. 26, beginning at 8 p.m.
