The fifth season of this political drama will take us deeper into Fitz and Olivia’s romance and reveal more of Eli Pope’s secrets. It’s also reported that Mia Maestro has a major recurring role this season, but Shonda has been careful to keep her character top secret. We’ll just have to tune into TGIT to find out!
