Fans just can't wait for "Scandal" season 4 to start!

Previous reports claim that season 4 will likely to premiere with a time jump as said by show creator Shonda Rhimes.

"I don't like the phrase time jump. We come back in a different place. I guess it's a time jump; it's not that big," she said. Rhimes also explained that the new season will follow a more "Olivia-centric" type of storytelling. This gives the spotlight back to actress Kerry Washington who was very pregnant in season 3.

Rhimes also shared with TV Guide that Scandal season 4 will be Abby's season. She said, "A lot of what we know about Abby happens this season. A lot of what we discover about her and see about her back story will happen as we tell Abby's story."

International Business Times gave a quick run-down on what happened in season 3:

"The Season 3 finale of "Scandal" saw Rowan succeeding in his plot to kill Fitz's son. He made it look like Maya is responsible for what happened. He got back his B-613's crown and put Maya back in the underground dungeon."

"Olivia took-up his father's offer to get on a plane and disappear, as she felt responsible for whatever tragic was happening around her. Fitz won the re-election and is the President, again, but he was in mourning because he lost his son. Without Olivia there to head it, OPA is no longer the same firm."

News of new cast members are also sparking fans' interests. Rumored to be pregnant Portia de Rossi will reportedly join the cast in season 4, but her role has yet to be revealed. With Colombus Short not returning next season, rumors of a new "African-American" character coming to the show has surfaced. The character is said to be a lawyer in his 30s to 50s.

"Scandal" season 4 is set to premiere on September 25, 2014.
