Like millions the world over, we’re having withdrawal symptoms for ABC smash ‘Scandal’. Indeed, Thursday nights haven’t been the same since the political drama wrapped its second season in May.

Fret not, though, for its return date has been announced!

That’s right, Gladiators; season three of the Shonda Rhimes show has a confirmed launch date of October 3rd.

Tidbit: As reported, BET have acquired the lucrative re-run rights to the show. Needless to say, the third season of ‘Scandal’ is shaping up to be the biggest yet for Olivia Pope & Associates!
