The ABC TV show in question is the political thriller, Scandal, which first aired on ABC on April 5, 2012 and ran until April 19, 2018 across 124 episodes. And as you may know, it was one of the great TV shows of the 2010s, as evident by it winning the TV Program of the Year award at the American Film Institute and many other awards. Not only did it rack up awards as a show, but its lead, Kerry Washington, racked up many nominations and awards as well.
At the time, Scandal was first introduced to Netflix in 2014 when the first three seasons were added. From here, each season was added to Netflix right after airing on ABC. As noted, it was a staple of the Netflix TV catalog during these years, but then it was yanked from Netflix in 2020, and only now is it finally returning.
“A powerful team of Washington, DC, lawyers makes scandals disappear while handling government crises and coping with problems of their own,” reads an official elevator pitch of the show on Netflix, for those unfamiliar with it.
With 124 episodes, Scandal is going to take a while for Netflix subscribers to work through, especially considering each episode is typically around 43 minutes long. In addition to this, Netflix users should prepare for a PG-13 rating for sexual content, violence, drug use, and explicit language.
