*Kerry Washington’s pregnancy has rippled across both social media and TV’s upcoming fall season.

First, the actress announced Tuesday that she’s taking a “teeny break from social media. The “Scandal” star shared her decision in the caption of an Instagram video. “It’s time for me to take a teeny break from social media,” wrote Washington. “Feeling called to be a bit more quiet and still.”

Her words were accompanied by a clip of a heart drawn in the sand fading as the ocean tide rises.

Later Tuesday, ABC announced that “Scandal’s” season 6 premiere will be pushed from fall 2016 to  midseason, due to her pregnancy.

The move will leave a hole in Shonda Rhimes’ TGIT lineup. According to Variety, “Grey’s Anatomy” keeps its Thursday 8 p.m. timeslot for Season 13, and Viola Davis’ “How To Get Away with Murder” keeps its 10 p.m. slot for Season 3. New drama “Notorious” will replace “Scandal” at 9 p.m.

ABC renewed Rhimes’ “The Catch” for Season 2 and picked up a new Shondaland show, “Still Star-Crossed.”
