On the heels of a casting call last week, Scandal season 3 has moved quickly to cast two young actors for the roles of Fitz’s children.

Dylan Minnette (above, left) has been cast as 15-year-old Jerry, who is described as “quiet, smart, and intense.” The actor has had roles in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Awake, Lost, and Grey’s Anatomy.

Meanwhile, Madline Carroll (right) will play the younger daughter who is reportedly “polished, self-assured, and older than her years.” Caroll has had small roles in television over the years, including spots on Shonda Rhimes shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice.

As usual, the purpose of their roles are under tight wraps, but last week we guessed that they could be involved with Fitz’s re-election campaign. Perhaps they’ll make appearances on the campaign trail.

As viewers know, Fitz has a third child named Teddy who is a baby. He has been seen on the show previously.

Scandal season 3 is currently on a hiatus and resumes Thursday, February 27 with episode 10. Don’t expect to see Fitz’s kids appearing until episode 15, which will air in the spring.

We still have a long way to go (three weeks to be exact) before the show resumes. To get fans excited, Scandal has numerous plans leading up to the mid-season premiere. Earlier this week the first clip from the mid-season premiere debuted, and on Tumblr there was this great poster with the hashtag #CopeWithoutPope:

More reveals are expected over the next few weeks as we approach the mid-season 3 premiere.

Thanks, TV Line.
