Production

Development

Scandal was renewed for a fifth season on May 7, 2015, by ABC.[1] The series will continue to air at Thursdays in the timeslot 9:00 p.m. E.T. like the previous season, as it was moved to the timeslot to make room for ShondaLand Production Company's new TV series, How to Get Away with Murder. Production began on May 21, 2015, when Rhimes announced on Twitter that the writers were in full swing mapping the fifth season.[3]

The remaining fall schedule for ABC was announced on November 16, 2015 where it was announced that Scandal would air nine episodes in the fall with the fall finale to air on November 19, 2015, just like the rest of ABC's primetime lineup "TGIT" Grey's Anatomy and How To Get Away with Murder, which was the same last year. The remaining 12 episodes will air after the winter break, beginning on February 11, 2016,[4] as a result of ABC airing the television miniseries Madoff over two nights on February 3–4, 2016 in the same time-slot as Scandal and Grey's Anatomy.[5] The show was renewed by ABC for a sixth season on March 3, 2016.[2]

Writing

Shonda Rhimes said in an interview that the fifth season will begin only a few days after the events in the fourth-season finale. She stated that the fifth season will see Olivia and Fitz the only people standing in a single piece, as she said "The world had been fairly blown apart for everybody except Olivia and Fitz. Everybody else was in a fairly blown apart place ... We pick up right there in that environment and we see what happens next." Rhimes continued talking about Cyrus and Mellie and their situation of not being in the White House anymore.[6]

Rhimes also confirmed that "the reconstitution" of Team OPA would happen in the fifth season, as Rhimes revealed in an interview with TVLine, as she explained that the Gladiator conceit was sidelined a bit in the fourth season to instead "healing" Olivia. She noted that "a lot of times it was just Huck and Quinn gladiating by themselves. And that wasn’t the same dynamic."[7]

Filming

Scouting began in the beginning of July.[8] The table read for the first episode was announced to occur on July 14, 2015 by Kerry Washington.[9] The title of the season premiere, "Heavy is the Head" was revealed on August 8, 2015, by its director Tom Verica on Twitter.[10] Filming for the season began on July 16, 2015.[11]

Scott Foley from Scandal also directed his first Scandal episode, the 16th named "The Miseducation of Susan Ross". Foley's director-debut was announced on Twitter by Foley himself and executive producer Tom Verica.[12]

|ShortSummary = On Rowan's orders Jake kills his new father-in-law. Cyrus suggests that David should be Frankie's running mate, but Rowan suggests Jake instead. Edison passes Jake's message to Olivia, and she wonders if she can help him. Abby accidentally lets Fitz read Olivia's medical records, revealing her abortion to him. Mellie stands up to Fitz when he proposes giving a speech entirely about himself at her campaign rally. Olivia announces that Jake will be Mellie's running mate, allowing her to release Jake from her dad's control. She goes to the oval office to meet with Fitz. Jake tells Olivia that he doesn't want to be Mellie's VP, but that he wants a happy life with Liv. Jake realizes that Rowan has succeeded in getting both himself and Olivia to the White House. Much to everyone's surprise, Cyrus is announced as Frankie's VP pick.
