How to Get Away with Murder has been shocking fans with twists and turns since it began, and season three of the ABC series will explore a new romance that shocked fans during the finale of season two – a hookup between Asher and Michaela.

Pete Nowalk spoke about the romance plans for season three with TV Line. He said the following:

“I think it’s fun. I really understand how these young people who have been living in a powder keg would grasp at each other. Michaela is going to have to deal with the fact that she just found out another guy she trusted, Caleb, was a crazy, freaking sociopath, so it makes sense to me why she might want to just choose the simple guy who’s right in front of her. In many ways, Asher is a really good boyfriend, and I think he’s probably a generous lover.”

Nowalk also revealed that he plans to dive more into Michaela’s past next season. Fans will learn more about her adoptive family.

How to Get Away with Murder will return to ABC this fall. Are you a fan of this series? Are you excited for season three? Tell us what you think.
