Get your popcorn and wine because ABC’s TGIT is officially back. Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder the three hit shows from creator Shonda Rhimes return tonight at 8, 9 and 10 pm ET, respectively. ABC was able to successfully capitalize on the already wildly popular shows with #TGIT last year. After all three shows had cliffhanger season finales fans are eager to see where things will pick up tonight.
When we last saw Grey’s Anatomy Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) had just dealt with the death of Derek (Patrick Dempsey).
“Grey’s, there’s a much sort of lighter tone this year that we’re going for. Meredith Grey has never been defined by her relationship with a man, “ said Rhimes in an interview posted on E! News.
After quite rocky, emotionally unstable season with Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) and Associates, we finally ended things with Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) and Olivia back together able to do “whatever we want,” as Olivia said. Fans should expect to see the “reconstitution” of the Gladiators.
“The Gladiators did gladiate,” Rhimes said of Season 4. “But they gladiated on a different scale and a different level. And the Gladiators scattered.” “A lot of times it was just Huck and Quinn gladiating by themselves,” Rhimes notes. “And that wasn’t the same dynamic [fans were used to seeing].”
Freshman series How to get Away with Murder ended every episode leaving viewers at the edge of their seats and mouths wide, so it’s no surprise that the season finale left everyone in suspense. We finally found our Lila’s (Megan West) murderer. We end the episode with Annalise (Viola Davis) and Frank (Charlie Weber) figuring out how to dispose of Rebecca’s (Katie Findlay) dead body.
“I won’t say if it [the season’s new case] is a murder or not. I don’t really want to be tied down by the title. It’s more about mysteries,” Pete Nowalk, the show’s creator says. “[The case] culminates in another OMG moment. I think people should watch until the very last minute of the show because we like to end on a big moment and I think we definitely do. I think that’s the one the promo is talking about.”
Fans definitely have something to look forward tonight because ABC and TGIT will be bringing the drama.
