The mother of all Shondaland crossovers is coming very soon, and we now have our first proper glimpse and synopsis of what will be going down.

The anticipated Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder crossover will see two special episodes of each show air on March 1, and it sounds like worlds will truly be colliding.

Take a look at the first trailers that have just dropped:

On top of that, we have handy synopses that finally reveal how Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) will meet Annalise Keating (Viola Davis).

For the Scandal portion, 'Allow Me To Reintroduce Myself', the storyline will see Olivia get a visit from Annalise, who wants her help in fast-tracking a judicial reform class action to the United States Supreme Court.

However, following Olivia's fall from political grace, it proves a lot more challenging than they had thought.

What to Read Next

Following on, the How To Get Away With Murder episode, called 'Lahey v Commonwealth of Pennsylvania', will see Annalise's class-action case hang in the balance, and a meeting with Olivia proves crucial in getting the opportunity to argue her case in the nation's highest court.

On top of that, Bonnie discovers concerning information about Simon that threatens to expose what happened during the night he was shot.

The Scandal/How to Get Away with Murder crossover will air Thursday, March 1 from 9 pm ET on ABC.
