Shonda Rhimes Just Confirmed A "Scandal" And "How To Get Away With Murder" Crossover And People Are HERE For It
Kerry Washington and Viola Davis in the same episode? Count me in!
If you were expecting to see political leaders squirming to evade criminal punishment in 2018, well, you're in luck, because Shonda Rhimes just confirmed that a Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder crossover episode is in the works.
Rhimes sent out a tweet, clearly displaying a snippet of dialogue between the two leads of each show, Olivia Pope and Annalise Keating — verifying what fans had been speculating and obsessing over since early Wednesday afternoon.
People. It's happening. @petenowalk, you ready for this? #TGITCrossover #HowtoGetAwaywithScandal
Rumors began to swirl when Kerry Washington tweeted this photo, which definitely looks a lot like the she's waiting in the lobby to enter Annalise Keating's classroom. "This spot look familiar?" Washington said to Viola Davis, who was tagged in the caption.
Hey Ms @violadavis ❤️ check it out. This spot look familiar?! Where are you? https://t.co/JFdiCTmbFs
A few minutes later, Davis tweeted, "guess where I am?!" to Washington from a set that looks uncannily like the Oval Office from Scandal.
Hey @KerryWashington, guess where I am?!
The tweets from the two leading ladies sent folks on Twitter into a frenzy, with one person confessing that they "won't survive" seeing Davis and Washington on screen at the same time.
IF A SCANDAL AND HTGAWM CROSSOVER IS HAPPENING I WON’T SURVIVE KERRY AND VIOLA ON SCREEN AT THE SAME TIME
And, like, same.
Wigs won't just be snatched, they'll probably disintegrate from this potential union of television powerhouses.
Ok if a Scandal & How To Get Away With Murder crossover happens my wig might actually shred itself
And naturally, people who are clearly invested in the shows have a lot of demands for the crossover.
THE SCANDAL/HTGAWM CROSSOVER EPISODE SHOULD BE TWO HOURS LONG, KEEP FRANK AWAY FROM OLIVIA BECAUSE GOD KNOWS SHE LO… https://t.co/PP4t9MV8DH
But, like, let's hope we don't all actually perish, overwhelmed by excitement.
IF A SCANDAL/HTGAWM CROSSOVER IS HAPPENING I REALLY THINK I WILL DIE WOW OMG #TGIT
In all, we're barely a week into 2018 and this go 'round the sun already looks a bit brighter than the last one.
