MANILA, Philippines — What happens when political crisis fixer Olivia Pope meets defense attorney Annalise Keating?
"How to Get Away with Murder" and "Scandal" fans went crazy after actress Kerry Washington posted a hint of the two shows’ crossover.
In her Instagram post, Washington, dressed in a full Olivia Pope attire said, “Hey @violadavis check it out. This spot look familiar?! Where are you?”
She was in the courthouse set of "How to Get Away with Murder."
Davis responded in her own Instagram account with her photo as Annalise Keating in the Oval Office set of "Scandal."
“Hey @KerryWashington, guess where I am?!” Davis said.
Shonda Rhimes, the producers of both series, confirmed the crossover on social media.
“People, it’s happening,” she said, accompanied with part of the script and the hashtags #TGITCrossover and #HowToGetAwayWithScandal.
In the past, Rhimes’ two shows "Grey’s Anatomy" and "Private Practice" also had crossover episodes. Character crossovers have been a network’s strategy to boost viewership.
In an interview, Peter Nowalk, writer and executive producer of "How to Get Away with Murder" revealed that the episodes will be connected in a two-hour block. There are no details yet as to which series will carry the first crossover.
