Sky Living HD have today announced their deal with Disney UK & Ireland, bringing ABC Studios' multi-award-winning political thriller Scandal to the channel.
The third season of Scandal will be brought exclusively to Sky Living HD customers this summer, sitting alongside other hit shows on the channel including Hannibal and The Blacklist, as well as Grey's Anatomy - also from the creator of Scandal, Shonda Rhimes.
Those who haven't seen season 1 or 2 of the show quite yet can catch up with the box sets of the series as part of the ABC Studios service before the start of season 3, on On Demand with Sky or NOW TV.
Antonia Hurford-Jones, Director, Sky Living HD said “Living dramas are known for compelling storytelling, engaging characters and intricate relationships and Scandal has all of the above in spades. It is the most addictive series and I’m thrilled to be able to share it with our customers. Working with the incredibly talented Shonda and Betsy again will be a delight.”
Scandal tells the story of Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington), crisis manager, and her team of hackers, political insiders and lawyers who are revered yet feared at the same time.
Olivia herself is a former media consultant to the President of the United States, but left the White House to open her own prominent crisis management firm.
She now spends her time dedicating her life to defending the public image of the nation's elite, keeping secrets under wraps as best as she can.
Columbus Short, Guillermo Diaz, Darby Stanchfield, Katie Lowes, Tony Goldwyn, Jeff Perry, Bellamy Young, Joshua Malina and Scott Foley all also star.
Season 3 will see Olivia and her team come up against their biggest scandal yet, forcing a surprise alliance in a bid to get things handled.
Shonda Rhimes takes the lead as executive producer and is joined by fellow executive producers Betsy Beers and Mark Wilding.
