After only just being added back on to Netflix in June 2025, the outstanding Kerry Washington drama Scandal is leaving Netflix once more. It had already left in 2020 after being on the platform in 2014. You have just one month to binge your way through the political drama.
There are 124 episodes across seven seasons, which will make this binge-watch a little tight. There is some good news for streaming it afterward, though, as it already has another home!
When Will ‘Scandal’ Leave Netflix?
The date is set for Dec. 17, 2026, which means the last day to stream Scandal on Netflix is Dec. 16, 2026. All shows leave at between midnight and 3 a.m. ET on the day of departure.
It gives you a little more than a month to get through all the episodes. You’ll need to watch 3.44 episodes per day to make it through to the end in time, presuming you start tonight!
Where to Watch ‘Scandal’ Once It Leaves Netflix
There is some great news if you don’t get through all the episodes. While Scandal is leaving Netflix, it’s already on another streaming platform, and that’s where it will still be by the middle of December.
Scandal is available on Hulu and Disney+, and you’ll be able to watch it right now, as well as in December. The Shonda Rhimes series was an ABC series, and Disney now owns ABC and Hulu, so most of the shows are there.
The odd series has been licensed out to Netflix and other streaming platforms to help boost subscriber numbers. In this case, the license was for 18 months, and it was non-exclusive, meaning Disney could keep the show on its own platform. There is the opportunity for Netflix to extend that license, and negotiations can often go down to the wire.
Why Binge-Watch ‘Scandal’ Right Now
The seven-season series ran from 2012 to 2018, at the height of TGIT on ABC. It aired alongside Grey’s Anatomy and How to Get Away with Murder, and proved to be a fast-paced political drama and addictive soap opera at the same time.
Washington played Olivia Pope, a “fixer” in Washington, D.C., who would act as a crisis manager to deal with the dirty secrets and cover-ups among political elites. Of course, she and her team also had their own scandals to cover up!
The series still holds a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score, with Scandal Season 4 standing out as the best with a perfect score.
