# Gladiator News: *Scandal* to Come to an End Next Season

Say it ain’t so: *Scandal* is coming to an end next season! Queen Mother of Thursday Night Television, Shonda Rhimes, revealed the hit TV show will end after Season 7 in an interview with [The Hollywood Reporter](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/scandal-end-season-7-893299):

ABC’s Upfronts take place next week and the sad news is expected to be announced there. We can’t imagine living without the drama of Olivia Pope’s fixing, but in a [July 2014 interview with THR](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/scandals-shonda-rhimes-season-4-719096), she did reveal that the show wouldn’t last forever. “I’ve already decided when *Scandal* is ending,” she stated. “I think there’s only so much Scandal you can tell satisfactorily. The Fitz-Liv thing can only be told so long and in such a way. It’s not a 10-season or eight-season show. I’ve already decided how long that is and what that’s going to be. I’m not really worried about that.”

Maybe this means there will be a happy ending in the stars for Olitz? Either way, we’re reluctantly counting down the days.

Thoughts on the news?
