Is "Scandal" season 6 getting scrapped right before the viewers' eyes? The previous reports saying that "Scandal" season 6 has just been postponed due to lead actress Kerry Washington's pregnancy might now be playing a different tune.

Reports about the cancellation of "Scandal" season 6 surfaced when viewers observed the slightly glaring downfall of the popularity of some Shondaland TV series such as "Grey's Anatomy" and "How To Get Away With Murder." The Shondaland production company is reportedly not getting the results they were expecting from their main TV series servings that's why they decided to scrap "Scandal" season 6.

There are also reports that ABC executives have noticed the significant decrease in the Shondaland produced TV series. The low ratings did not sit well with the network honchos which reportedly triggered the cancellation of "Scandal" season 6. ABC network still hasn't released an official statement regarding "Scandal" season 6 so readers must take the cancellation reports with a grain of salt.

Many of the fans believe that "Scandal" season 6 will not be scrapped right away since there are still a lot of loose threads in the series. If ABC decides to rid of Shondaland-produced TV show, "Scandal" season 6, they might still allow another season to cover the holes in story that went unanswered in "Scandal" season 5.

"Scandal" Season 6 Pushes Through, With Shorter Episodes?

It's logical for fans to expect a "Scandal" season 6. However, ABC might cut the number of episodes just enough for the writers to wrap everything up and leave no questions or issues hanging in the plot. Currently, "Notorious" takes over the slot supposedly for "Scandal" season 6.

There are definitely a lot of signs pointing to the cancellation of "Scandal" season 6. However, nothing is final until ABC gives an official statement regarding the said TV series. Stay tuned to GamenGuide for more "Scandal" season 6 news & update!
