Why is 'Scandal' Calling It Quits?

Goodbye, Gladiators! Scandal is ending after season 7, and ABC revealed that it was creator Shonda Rhimes who decided Olivia Pope’s story should wrap up.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey told members of the media on Tuesday, May 16, that Rhimes wanted the show to go out with a bang. “I had conversations with Shonda Rhimes where she has had, for a while, a sense of how she wanted the story to end,” Dungey said. “She said, ‘Look, I really feel like season 7 is where I want to wrap up this story, because I always prefer to end a show where you’re feeling on top as opposed to letting things fizzle out.’"
