I never said this was the final season of #scandal.

Way to make me spit out my coffee.

Soon after, Spencer corrected herself on air: We said that this was the last season ofScandal.

Shonda has weighed in, she just tweeted, and she said we made her spit out her coffee.

She said she has an ending in mind, but that ending is not happening this next season.

So correction: Ending in mind, but when that ending is happening we dont know.

So, to be continued on theScandalscandal.

So Shonda, thank you, Im sorry I made you spit out your coffee.

Rhimes quickly responded, thanking Spencer for admitting the error.

Thank you for the correction, @LaraSpencer you have my back!tweetedRhimes.

Production on the sixth season ofScandalbegan on Monday.
