In its first season, How to Get Away with Murder was ABC’s highest-rated scripted series. The ratings slipped in season two and it fell to sixth place. Will the series rebound in season three or will the numbers continue to fall? Could it be cancelled or is it a lock for a fourth season renewal? Stay tuned.

A legal-thriller TV series, How to Get Away with Murder revolves around the world of Middleton University Professor Annalise Keating (Viola Davis). Murder, deception, fear and guilt bind her to her long-time associates Frank Delfino (Charlie Weber), Bonnie Winterbottom (Liza Weil), and her students, the “Keating 5.” As the group struggles to move on with their lives and to focus on their clients, their past continues to haunt them. The rest of the cast includes Billy Brown, Alfred Enoch, Jack Falahee, Aja Naomi King, Matt McGorry, Karla Souza, and Liza Weil.
