Ready yourselves, gladiators, this isn’t good news.
Shonda Rhimes, the mastermind behind shows like “Scandal” and “Grey’s Anatomy,” just revealed a bit of her endgame when it comes to Olivia Pope & Associates and it doesn’t go past Season 8. The showrunner spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about plans for the upcoming season of the show and admitted she doesn’t see too many years left for Olivia, Fitz and the rest of the crew.
“I think there’s only so much ‘Scandal’ you can tell satisfactorily,” Rhimes said. “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.”
Honestly, it’s not too surprising that Rhimes has already forged the ending for her political drama. Last season’s final episode saw Olivia flying off into the sunset with Jake, Harrison meeting his end at the hands of daddy Pope and Fitz being re-elected for a second term in office. Unless the show decides to change the Constitution of the United States and let Fitz remain as POTUS past another four years, an early ending, at least when it comes to that part of the series, seems likely. But Rhimes also revealed the decision on when to pull the plug doesn’t hinge on Fitz completing his time as president.

I think that's great. No show can last forever. That's one of the things I've never liked about day time soaps. it would take them too long to get through scenes. And by the time I found out who killed who, I had totally lost interest. I'm glad to see that Shonda knows how not to beat the dead horse. I was wondering what she was going to do with the show as time went on. She's an amazing writer, but every story does have an ending !!
