Get out the popcorn, the wine and the tissues because the countdown to the return of ABC's TGIT is officially on! The tissues, for now, are for tears of joy when you see the new promo above for Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and How to Get Away With Murder. Tissues for tears will be needed when the shows finally premiere on Thursday, Sept. 24 on ABC.
Look how happy everybody is! Look at Matt McGorry's dance moves! Seriously, feel free to rewind to that moment over and over again. This is a judgment free zone.
Is this a sign of what's to come on these beloved dramas? Will Viola Davis' Annalise Keating finally smile on How to Get Away With Murder? Will Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) and Olivia (Kerry Washington) find happiness together on Scandal? Will popcorn tangled in hair be the only tragedy on Grey's Anatomy? You know the probable answer to all of these is "No!" because they're all dramas Shonda Rhimes' Shondaland.
Did you notice Portia de Rossi getting in on the popcorn-throwing action? That's because she's officially a series regular for Scandal season five. And Cornelius Smith Jr. will return to the series as a series regular after two guest appearances last year. Plus, the white hats are back! Well, one white hat.
Now answer us this: Which cast has the better dancers? Grey's Anatomy, Scandal or How to Get Away With Murder?
ABC's TGIT returns on Thursday, Sept. 24 starting with Grey's at 8 p.m., followed by Scandal at 9 and How to Get Away With Murder at 10 p.m.
