This page is dedicated to the fifth season of ABC's How to Get Away with Murder. The series was renewed for a fifth season on May 11, 2018, by ABC.[3]
Storyline Information
- Showrunner Pete Nowalk promised flashforwards that will be “twisty, and more fun... They’re a different tone, and it’s something that we’ve set up."[4]
- Nowalk later states that this flashforward will also be a party and that "something bad happens there."[5]
- A wedding for Connor and Oliver.[4]
- More flashbacks involving Sam and Annalise's marriage.[4]
- Annalise's class action lawsuit storyline will continue. "Some" of the season will be looking at the retrying of the cases involved in her class action.[7]
- The scratches on Laurel's arm will be explored[8] and we will get an answer to the Sandrine question in the premiere.[5]
- The origins of Gabriel Maddox won’t necessarily be answered at the start of the season. Nowalk teases that he wants the audience to get to know the character before [we] learn his origins.[8]
- Laurel will be in this season, even though Karla had a newborn a few months ago.[9]
- According to an article when Amirah Vann was promoted, her character Tegan Price, will make the character's lives more complicated.[10]
- Emmett Crawford will play a major part in Annalise' "new life," following her Supreme Court victory.[11]
- Annalise will return to teaching but at her own legal clinic[12] and the series will revisit a Case of the Week format.[5]
- The Keating 4 will be in their third year of law school and they will be able to "try their own legal cases and be lawyers in the courtroom."[5]
- Now that Michaela and Asher have split up, seemingly for good, “there’s still [Scandal‘s] Marcus on Michaela’s mind,” Nowalk says. “We’ll find out what happens [between them] early in our season.”[5]

- It is currently unknown whether Karla Souza (Laurel Castillo) will return to the show or if she does in what capacity after the birth of her first child on April 19, 2018. This is because they will have started filming in July 2018, just 3 months after the birth. However, there has been no news of a kind of departure, so it can be assumed that she is set to return in season 5.
- During the first episode, "Your Funeral" table read, photos were released of the cast during the table read itself of which Karla Souza can be seen meaning that she is set to return in the same capacity as she normally does dispite her recently giving birth.[28]

- Amirah Vann made the second actor to be promoted to main cast following Rome Flynn's promotion for season 5. This was announced on July 18, 2018; Vann was an actress who appeared in multiple episodes in the previous season as Tegan Price.[10]
- Dispite Shonda Rhimes not paying as much attention to the show possibly due to her move to Netflix, meaning that she hasn’t taken part in the "day-to-day operations of the show for a while," she will remain as an executive producer for it’s fifth season.[8]
- Timothy Hutton was the third actor to made a series regular this season, first announced on July 30, 2018.[13] This brings the total amount to 14, with Hutton being the first addition to the main cast to have not previously served as a guest star.
