Production

The series was renewed for a second season on May 7, 2015, by ABC.[1] The show was effectively confirmed as earning a second-season renewal for the 2015-16 season via a promo succeeding the first-season finale and an earlier statement by Viola Davis also confirming the renewal at the close of shooting for the first season.[22][23] It would contain 15 episodes, like the previous season.[24] Production began on May 21, 2015, with Shonda Rhimes announcing on Twitter that Peter Nowalk and his writers were in full swing mapping the second season.[25] The table read for the premiere occurred on July 14, 2015,[26] with the title of the episode being revealed at the same time.[27] Entertainment Weekly reported on July 23, 2015, that the identity of Rebecca's killer would be revealed in the season premiere.[28] A promotional poster was released over a month before the season premiere, on August 17, 2015.[5]

The second season began airing on September 24, 2015,[29] and would air nine episodes in the fall, just like the rest of ABC's primetime lineup "TGIT" Grey's Anatomy and Scandal.[30] The remaining fall schedule for ABC was announced on November 16, 2015 where it was announced that How to Get Away with Murder would air nine episodes in the fall with the fall finale to air on November 19, 2015, just like the rest of ABC's primetime lineup "TGIT", which was the same last year. The remaining six episodes aired after the winter break, beginning on February 11, 2016,[31] as a result of ABC airing the television miniseries Madoff over two nights on February 3–4, 2016 in the same time-slot as Scandal and Grey's Anatomy.[32] It would air its season finale on March 17, 2016, with The Catch succeeding it for the remainder of the 2015-16 season after its finale.[31] On March 3, 2016, ABC announced that How to Get Away with Murder was renewed for a third season.[33]

Casting

Famke Janssen was cast as D.A. Eve Rothlo.

The second season would have nine roles receiving star billing, with all of them returning from the previous season. Viola Davis will play the protagonist of the series, Professor Annalise Keating, a high-profile defense attorney, teaching a class at Middleton University. Billy Brown will play Detective Nate Lahey, Annalise's lover. There are five students who work at Annalise's law firm. Alfred Enoch would portray Wes Gibbins, as he is devastated about Rebecca escaping. Jack Falahee will portray Connor Walsh, the ruthless student who finds himself in a situation where his boyfriend Oliver Hampton, played by Conrad Ricamora, has received news of having HIV. Aja Naomi King will play Michaela Pratt, the ambitious student who wants to be as successful as Annalise. Matt McGorry will continue portraying Asher Millstone, a student who comes from a privileged background. Karla Souza will play Laurel Castillo, an idealistic student. Charlie Weber will portray Frank Delfino, an employee of Annalise's firm who is not a lawyer but handles special duties requiring discretion. Liza Weil will play Bonnie Winterbottom, who is an associate attorney in Annalise's firm.

It was announced on July 14, 2015, that the second season would introduce several new characters, including a family consisting of Caleb, Catherine and Helena Hapstall.[34] Katie Findlay will return to play the character Rebecca Sutter, who was killed in the first season finale.[35] Tom Verica will also appear in the season as the deceased Sam Keating, and will appear in flashbacks.[36] On July 22, 2015, it was announced that Kendrick Sampson, known from The Vampire Diaries will join the cast in the second season and will be introduced in the season premiere.[37] On July 31, 2015, TVLine reported that Famke Janssen was cast as a brilliant, revered defense attorney for a multi-episode arc and will first appear in the season premiere.[38]

Matt Cohen was announced on August 11, 2015, to recur in the second season as Levi, who is described as a sexy, edgy working class guy. He will first appear in the second episode and will appear in a total of three episodes.[39] On August 31, 2015, Variety reported that Amy Okuda will play a recurring role, but details on Okuda’s part were being kept under wraps.[40] Sherri Saum was announced to have been cast as a guest star on September 30, 2015.[41] On January 14, 2016, it was announced that Wilson Bethel, Adam Arkin and Roxanne Hart would be joining the show to play the Mahoney family. Bethel will play Charles Mahoney, the Ivy League-educated son, with Arkin playing his father Wallace and Hart playing his mother Sylvia.[42]
