Shonda Rhimes, the creative genius behind ABC's hit series "Grey's Anatomy," "Scandal" and "How to Get Away with Murder" offered some rare insight into the future of her shows at the Television Critics Association's semi-annual press tour on Tuesday. The normally tight-lipped Rhimes has some very interesting things to say about her three shows, including the Viola Davis-led "How to Get Away with Murder."
One thing that was revealed at the TCAs is that this season of "How to Get Away with Murder" won't always include murder. "I think the premise of the show for me is that things get more and more complicated, whether or not that means a murder each season, there's going to be a mystery," executive producer Pete Nowalk said.
This season is expected to be a little bit different from the previous season, according to the executive producer. "The other big thing we really focused on is we're going to reveal a lot more about their back stories, how they met each other, what dark, twisted things happen to them in the past which now made them the people in the present. That's what we're super excited about in the writers' rooms, is coming up with fresh, new storylines for these people that you think you know at this point in the show but you don't know them at all," Norwalk says.
"How to Get Away with Murder" returns to ABC with for its second season on Thursday, Sept. 24 at 10 p.m. EDT.
