Season 6 has been averaging 5.7 million total viewers, a definite fall from a Season 4 premiere height of twelve million.
Three episodes remain in the current sixth season of Scandal, which itself was renewed for Season 7 all the way back in February.
So it is, that Olivia Pope may have officially handled her last Scandal, with reports claiming the Kerry Washington-Shonda Rhimes drama will come to an end with the seventh season next year.
TVLine broke word that ABC was planning an official announcement of Scandal’s seventh and final season at next week’s Upfront presentation.
