ABC has officially renewed “Scandal” for a third season. The renewal of the popular show comes as no surprise due to the large amount of fans the show has drawn.

Loosely based off of the life of former president George Bush administration press aide Judy Smith, “Scandal” has been a consistent hit for ABC throughout Seasons 1 and 2.

According to TV By the Numbers, the ABC drama now averages about eight million viewers a week. This makes it the No. 1 drama at 10 p.m. on any night, on any network, among the demographic of adults 18 to 49.

The show’s success is thanks to its dedicated and very passionate fans, or as the cast calls them, Gladiators. They not only watch, but takeover Twitter on Thursday nights and average around 190,000 tweets per episode.

“Scandal” cast members reached out to all the Gladiators via twitter once the news had broke.

The season finale is coming up, how long will the Gladiators have to wait until the premiere of season 3? What are you all looking forward to seeing in the next season of “Scandal”?
