” and also spent time writing for its spinoff “Private Practice” and hit drama “Scandal.” Though it’s certainly left its mark, helping Davis become the first African American woman to win the lead drama actress Emmy in 2015, the end of “How to Get Away With Murder” leaves ABC with just two Rhimes-produced series, “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Station 19.
Pete Nowalk is the creator and showrunner of ABC’s “How to Get Away With Murder.” Awards and a portrait from Season 2 are displayed on his bookshelf.I think for me the impetus to make the show very queer is because that’s my life. And I hate feeling othered. I hate feeling people putting me to the side, but I also don’t want to be part of the mainstream.

We have this episode coming up, which is when we flash back to her and Sam after they lost the baby, and I was having Annalise say something to Sam in a big speech and Viola just didn’t buy it.
