ABC Finally Reveals Its Fall Premiere Dates, Including an Early Debut of Marvel's Inhumans in Imax Theaters

The final season of Scandal kicks off on Oct. 5

It took a month longer than its broadcast peers, but ABC has finally locked in its fall premiere dates.

Scandal will kick off its seventh and final season on Thursday, Oct. 5, as the original TGIT lineup of Shonda Rhimes-produced shows returns for the last time. Prior to May’s upfront event, ABC announced that next season would be Scandal’s last, as Rhimes is ready to wrap up the story of Olivia Pope, played by Kerry Washington.
