ABC’s ‘Scandal’ season 5 spoilers: Kerry Washington, Tony Goldwyn confirm start of production

Gladiators, celebrate! The fifth season of “Scandal” is officially underway, and we have the photographic proof now courtesy of someone who is definitely going to be at the heart of just about everything all season long: Star Kerry Washington.

The attached photo below comes from Kerry’s Instagram page, and it shows her alongside Tony Goldwyn while seemingly at the table read for the premiere. This are both people who are going to have their work cut out for them during the season premiere episode. There’s so much going on when it comes to Olivia and Fitz, and much of it could stem from the fact that if they choose to go this route, they may actually opt to be together at this point. Right in the middle of her political ascension, Fitz is not even interested in keeping up a ruse with Mellie … at least when we last saw him.

Part of the fascinating thing about “Scandal” as a series is that ultimately, very little necessarily is guaranteed to stay constant. We could have events from the finale of last season be diminished somewhat by a time jump, or by a new crisis. There are so many different things all in the air that could shake matters up a little bit.

The new season of “Scandal” is set to premiere on ABC in just over two months, and be prepare for more updates every step of the way.
