Is How to Get Away with Murder Renewed for Season 7 or Canceled?

How to Get Away with Murder Season 6 is officially over, and it ended with a bang! If you're wondering whether this twisty series is renewed for Season 7, sadly, the answer is no. ABC decided Season 6 would be the final season of the show, which means the Season 6 finale was the series finale, and we won't be getting another year of Annalise Keating (Viola Davis).

The news broke in July of 2019 that How to Get Away with Murder's sixth season would be its last, giving the show ample time to wrap up all the show's loose ends. For some characters, that means a gruesome death, while for others it might mean a new chance at life with way less murder and mayhem.

"Deciding to end this series was a brutal decision, but ultimately the story tells you what to do -- as it did here," showrunner Pete Nowalk said of the decision to end the series. "For me, Annalise Keating's journey has always had a clear ending. Knowing I have 15 episodes left to finish her story, and the chance to give all the characters their own killer endings, is a gift rarely given to a series creator and I'm grateful to ABC and ABC Studios for the opportunity and creative freedom. I am so thankful to the brilliant cast, writers, and crew for dedicating themselves to the most rewarding experience of my career over the last six years. I also want to thank our fans. The only reason this show exists is because of your loyalty and enthusiasm."
