Notes and Trivia

  • Continuing with TGIT, How to Get Away With Murder will air once again on Thursdays at 10pm.[30]
  • According to Pete Nowalk's Instagram story, production on season 5 begun around May 14, 2018.[31]
  • Filming is set to start on July 9, 2018, according to a source from Conrad Ricamora.[32] However, this was proven false when another source said that filming wouldn’t begin until July 19, 2018 and conclude on February 15, 2019.[33]
  • Rome Flynn, the actor who portrays Gabriel Maddox, was promoted to series regular this season after his initial guest appearance in the Season 4 finale, "Nobody Else Is Dying".[34]
    • He is also the first cast member to be promoted to series regular since Conrad Ricamora's (Oliver Hampton) promotion in Season 3. This gives a total number of overall main cast members over the 5 seasons of 12.
  • 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.[9]
  • 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.[35]
  • 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.
