“Scandal: Gladiator Wanted,” produced by Shondaland and ABC Studios, features Huck (Guillermo Diaz), Quinn (Katie Lowes) and Marcus (Cornelius Smith Jr.) as they search for an intern for Olivia Pope & Associates. 

The six-part series is directed by Darby Stanchfield, who plays former Gladiator Abby Whelan on the show.
