“Scandal” gladiators will have to wait a little while longer to find out what happens next on the show.

The ABC series stars actress Kerry Washington, who announced that she is pregnant earlier this month. Considering she’ll be toting an adorable baby bump soon, the midseason return of “Scandal” has been postponed until early 2017 (unfortunately yes, you did read that correctly) and will feature 16 episodes.

Side note: Washington also announced yesterday that she would be taking a brief hiatus from social media.
