A staple of ABC’s Thursday night schedule, How to Get Away with Murder hasn’t done very well in the ratings for quite a while. Based on the numbers, it could have easily been cancelled years ago but the network has kept it on the air for six seasons. We already know that there won’t be a seventh season however because ABC has announced How to Get Away with Murder is ending with season six. Could the show go out on a high or, will it hit new ratings lows? Stay tuned.
A mystery thriller series, How to Get Away with Murder stars Viola Davis, Billy Brown, Jack Falahee, Aja Naomi King, Matt McGorry, Karla Souza, Charlie Weber, Liza Weil, Conrad Ricamora, Rome Flynn, and Amirah Vann. The story centers on the world of Middleton University Professor Annalise Keating (Davis). Murder, deception, fear, and guilt bind her to her long-time associates Frank Delfino (Weber), Bonnie Winterbottom (Weil), and her students. As the group struggles to move on with their lives and focus on their clients, their past continues to haunt them. Annalise and her inner circle struggle to keep their secrets from getting exposed. Relationships are fractured, lies spin out of control, and shocking, new mysteries upend their entire lives.

What do you think? Do you like the How to Get Away with Murder TV series on ABC? Should it end with year six or, would you have watched a seventh season?
Secure, this Tv show is “GENIAL” (Spanish). We need more season.
Absolutely YES.!!!!!
This was a pretty good show…the first season. Now I am glad it is leaving and hopefully something good will follow Grey’s.
I love How To Get Away With Murder from the 1st day it came out ❤❤❤❤❤! And, YES I WOULD WATCH IT IF, IT WERE A 7TH OR 30TH SEASON ! I’m a BIG FAN of the Show & HATE that it has to come to a close . If they Ever continue it & say put it on Netflix or Hulu, that will bite because I don’t have either nor do I have the internet.
it could have been a good show, like pretty little liars, but it just had too much political correctness. I don’t want to watch a show with nonsense like racist white people and no racist black people. its insulting, and out of touch with the real world. too much Hollywood politics.
