Olivia Pope’s gladiators are already set with a new client and it’s not even fall yet. ABC’s hit political drama “Scandal” has added another guest spot to the upcoming third season.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Dead Like Me” actress Cynthia Stevenson has nabbed a guest spot on the Shonda Rhimes creation. Stevenson will appear in an episode slated for October as a client of Olivia Pope & Associates. No other details have been revealed about the actresses guest appearance.
Stevenson has also appeared in Rhimes’ flagship drama “Grey’s Anatomy.”
In other “Scandal” news, for those wondering whether Huck (Guillermo Diaz) will get to reunite with his wife Kim (Jasika Nicole), Rhimes opened up to TVGuide and vaguely confirmed it would happen. "It remains to be seen whether he is healthy enough for that to be a thing," she added.
A new poster for the upcoming third season was also debuted earlier this week, when the show’s stars took to Twitter urging fans to retweet Jeff Perry’s promise at a sneak peak. Fans were told that once 10,000 retweets were achieved, the new poster would be revealed. Be sure to take a look at the poster below, which was shared on Shonda Rhimes’ WhoSay account.
The poster, with its signature black, white and red color scheme, features a pensive Olivia (Kerry Washington) and the tagline, “The Secret is Out.”
It’s clear that the tagline refers to the major cliffhanger at the end of season two, when it was revealed that Liv was President Grant Fitzgerald’s (Tony Goldwyn) mistress. The season three premiere, which is called “It’s Handled,” will jump just 22 minutes after the secret is spilled. But how will Liv, Fitz and the rest of Washington react? Fans will just have to wait and see.
“Scandal” season three premieres on Thursday, October 3 at 10 p.m. on ABC.
