May 14, 2020. ( 2020-05-14) External links. Official website. How to Get Away with Murder is an American legal thriller television series that premiered on ABC on September 25, 2014, and concluded on May 14, 2020. The series was created by Peter Nowalk, and produced by Shonda Rhimes and ABC Studios.
Later that year, in July, it was announced the sixth season would be the last. Season 6 premiered on September 26, 2019.
Shonda Rhimes, co-executive producer of How to Get Away with Murder. On August 19, 2013, ABC bought from Shondaland Productions the original concept, produced by Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers. The script for the pilot episode was written by Grey's Anatomy supervising producer Peter Nowalk.
The series aired on ABC as part of a night of programming, all under Rhimes's Shondaland production company. Viola Davis stars as Annalise Keating, a law professor at a prestigious Philadelphia university who, with five of her students, becomes entwined in a murder plot.
The series pilot on September 25 set a record for DVR playback viewers with 6 million, surpassing the January 27, 2014, record of 5.6 million set by the pilot of The Blacklist. The series premiere had more than 14 million viewers on live broadcast, and over 20 million with DVR.
The central storyline is, of course, the trial itself. The finale throws a few twists and turns, although none as big as Laurel's (Karla Souza) surprise backing of Annalise in the previous episode.
Of course, the finale couldn't simply wrap up with a rousing speech, a victory, and a happy ending.
The series ends with the funeral shown at the start, which is Annalise's, just when she is an old woman. Connor and Oliver are there together, and Laurel is there with her adult son, who looks exactly like Wes.
If the final scene seems familiar, it's because it is almost a direct re-creation of the original opening scenes with Christopher stepping in for Annalise. The finale shows Christopher/Wes cycling through Middleton campus again, but this time it's Christopher headed to teach Annalise's old class, in exactly the same way.
The quality of representation a defendant receives in a capital case can make the difference between life and death. Almost all defendants cannot afford to pay for a lawyer, and states differ widely on the standards—if any—for death penalty representation.

Hinton’s case was taken up by the Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, Alabama. Founded by a lawyer, Bryan Stevenson, it had a track record of overturning unjust convictions and in winning a supreme court ruling prohibiting the death penalty, or life without parole for young people under the age of 18.
