According to a report by International Business Times, the story will pick up on the events after Andrew Nichols (Jon Tenney) was beaten to death by Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington).

Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) was the one who announced Andrew's death, stating that an accidental fall was the primary cause of his passing. Meanwhile, Olivia was taken to her father's house by Quinn (Katie Lowes) and Huck (Guillermo Diaz).
