Telly’s Take

The ratings for this Thursday night series haven’t been very good in quite awhile. It could easily be cancelled but the alphabet network seems to consider it a bit of a prestige project. With only 15 episodes per season, the show still has a way to go before it will have a good-sized syndication package. The network could easily cancel How to Get Away with Murder but, for now, I think it will squeek by and land a fifth season renewal (providing that Davis wants to continue).
