"Scandal" season 6 is stirring up its very own scandal as its expected season premiere date will reportedly be postponed. Some fans are even wondering if "Scandal" season 6 will be scrapped once and for all.
The fans were eagerly anticipating "Scandal" season 6 premiere to be air along with its counterparts who will be premiering this fall. Suspicions of "Scandal" season 6 cancellation lighted up when the viewers saw "Notorious" filling its supposed slot alongside HTGAWM and "Grey's Anatomy.
Delayed Production
The fans who are worried that "Scandal" season 6 might be canceled can already be at ease. The producers explained in an interview with Variety that they are experiencing some delays because of Kerry Washington's situation. The lead star of "Scandal" season 6 is currently pregnant with her second baby so the mid-season rush to film the series will have to adjust.
Shortened Episodes
When Kerry Washington was pregnant with her first child, the series had to cut the number of episodes from 22 to 18. For her second pregnancy, the fans are already anticipating shortened number of episodes as well. However, their might be a chance to have a full "Scandal" season 6 season if the showrunners allow Olivia Pipe to have a baby in the series.
The previous season where Kerry Washington was pregnant with her first child was cut short because the writers couldn't find a way to incorporate pregnancy into Olivia Pipe's storyline. Will "Scandal" season 6 have a full season? Or will it be shortened once again because of Kerry Washington's pregnancy?
Perhaps the showrunner can find a way to make Kerry Washington's pregnancy fit into "Scandal" season 6. It's the best time to make Olivia Pipe pregnant especially since the fans are open to an Olivia-Fitz or Olitz baby.
As of writing, "Scandal" season 6 is targeted to hit the small screen by Jan. 2017. Stay tuned to GamenGuide for more "Scandal" season 6 spoilers, news and updates!
