ABC has cancelled Scandal with the political drama’s upcoming seventh season serving as the last in the series, RenewCancelTV has confirmed.
News of Scandal’s end date comes months after the series was renewed for Season 7, without announcement that it would be the last in the show’s run.
While there’s plenty of time to plan a ‘proper ending’, the advance cancellation means Scandal will not reach Season 8 and represents a major coup for the reaper.
The seventh and final season of Scandal will comprise 18 episodes and premieres fall 2017.
How would you like Scandal to end en route to the cancellation graveyard?

No loss here. It should have been cancelled 7 seasons earlier.

I liked scandal. What I don’t like is ABC. They have no loyalty for their viewers so I have none for them. This is my last year of their off again, on again programming. It takes a moron to keep taking the shows away from their viewers and replace them every season with crap that won’t last either. I’m done!
Solly says
You are so right

I agree and they have been doing this for a long time. I dont know how I started watching Scandal but it was by accident (I enjoyed it) I try not to watch any of their tv shows.
Cydney says
I couldn’t agree MORE! ABC clearly gets the high marks for caring about their viewing public! They run crap like the Bachelor/Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise, clearly vying for a younger viewing audience while forgetting about their STABLE viewership that is actually home most nights watching TV!
It blows my mind still!!!
Cydney says
UH – make that HIGH MARKS for NOT caring about their viewing audience!!!

Oh but I will surely miss the look in his eye when the President looks at Olivia!
Kylie says
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I absolutely love this show:) I want Olivia to end up with Jake, always have since he first came onto the show. I’ve loved Scott Foley since his Felicity days. I’d also like to see Mellie end up with Marcus. I’ve developed a big soft spot for her. As for Fitz, I’d be fine if they killed him off, I never liked him. Not having a great run at the moment with so many of my shows ending; Vampire Diaries, Grimm, Pretty Little Liars, Scandal, The Catch, 24 Legacy, Prison Break, Teen Wolf:) So heartbreaking.
Lynne says
Whyyyyyyyyyy? Who has taken over ABC programming and what sort of crap are you putting in it’s place? This is a very smart, different, fast paced, heart thumping, show with excellent cliff hangars that keep you coming back for more and screaming not yet, noooooooo or OMG at the end of each episode.
Hopefully a smart program director from CBS will pick it up!
ABC you have done a disservice to those of us clinging to the hope that cable doesn’t have all of the good shows!

I know I am going to miss this show it should have never been cancelled not when it was one of the highest rated show on ABC I’d like to see it move to another channel and continue on with another writer.. Way to soon to be cancelled. For those of us who loved the show continue on at another channel. Come back Scandal.. Shonda Rhimes needs to let go and let someone else keep the show on.
