The fifth season of How To Get Away With Murder recently concluded, and fans are now waiting if the series will be renewed or canceled. Right now, there were no confirmed reports about its renewal status, but many are hoping it would be back for its sixth season.
ABC hasn't yet announced if How To Get Away With Murder season 6 is coming, but rumors suggest it would probably be back, so there's no need to worry. The network is likely waiting until May before announcing the series' renewal status. It's worth mentioning the fourth season ended on March 2018 and was renewed in May. Thus, the network is probably following that timeline.
Even though there were no official words, ABC won't leave fans hanging and ends the series just like that. How To Get Away With Murder season 5 leaves the door open, and it's obvious there are still a lot of things that were yet to unfold. The finale of the fifth season revealed Laurel and baby Christopher were gone, and Emmett Crawford was poisoned. So it's safe to assume there will be more episodes coming considering the finale of the previous season.
If ABC indeed orders How To Get Away With Murder season 6, the series might probably premiere in the last week of September - just like the preceding seasons. As per rumors, the sixth installment would likely arrive between September 23 or September 27, 2019. But if ever it will not air on the network, fans can probably still see some sort of continuation. Program creator Peter Nowalk has been previously hinting about a potential movie.
As of the moment, How to Get Away with Murder season 6 needs to address loose ends left from the previous season, including the mentioned disappearances as well as poisoning. As per Nowalk, season 5 was indeed meant to set up the sixth installment, adding that he does not want to have a "terrible ending." It's worth mentioning Nowalk didn't write the finale of the fifth season titled "Please Say No One Else Is Dead." The first four seasons concluded with the episode written by Nowalk, but the latest one was written by Joe Fazzio.
How to Get Away with Murder look at the difficulties of a criminal cover-up starring Viola Davis as the Philadelphia law professor Annalise Keating. Though the actress has earned numerous accolades for her lead performance, the ratings of the series reportedly declined since it premiered on ABC in 2014. But despite that, the series has managed to have its fandom and solid viewers.
