However, it looked like Rowan was already one step ahead of Olivia. The final moments of season 5 hint that Rowan has a master plan to ruin her daughter and Jake by way of Mellie’s ticket.
Jeff Perry’s Cyrus has vowed that he will ruin Mellie in the eyes of the American people, but spoilers say that his attacks against the former First Lady might backfire. Cyrus choosing to be Vargas’ running mate came to shock to everyone during the Season 5 finale.
Another interesting thing to look forward to is Fitz’s future after his presidential duties are over. Since the series started, Fitz has been in politics and the upcoming season will be a fresh start to re-introduce his character.
Reports suggest that Fitz and Olivia will finally reaffirm their romantic relationship now that they can be considered as normal citizens. Rhimes earlier stated that the upcoming season will explore Fitz’s life post-presidency.
The showrunner adds that it will be a refreshing sight to see the former politician out in the White House and doing normal stuff.
Most of the cast will be reprising their roles in the upcoming season. TV Line announced in August that “Glee” alum Jessalyn Gilsig will be replacing Joelle Carter as Vanessa Moss, Jake Ballard’s wife.
ABC has not yet given an official premiere date but the season premiere will be titled “Survival of the Fittest.”
Update: Season 7 is all systems go!
