From Monday RTL Crime shows the sixth and last season "How to Get Away with Murder". This is what fans can expect in the final episodes.
The US crime series "How to Get Away with Murder" by producer Shonda Rhimes (50) and leading actress Viola Davis (54, "Fences") will also be celebrating their farewell in Germany on August 3 (8:15 p.m.). German fans can watch the sixth season, which has already been broadcast in the USA, on RTL Crime.
That's what it's about
The unscrupulous and brilliant lawyer and law professor Annalize Keating (Davis) is asking for a final semester at Middleton Law School. The finale of season five left many questions unanswered. Was Emmett Crawford (Timothy Hutton) really poisoned? And what happened to Laurel and her son Christopher? Her sudden disappearance worries both Annalize and the rest of the students.
But they also have to face up to their personal problems: Annalize wants to tackle her alcohol problem and Michaela (Aja Naomi King) goes in search of her birth parents, with Gabriel (Rome Flynn) at her side. Will prospective lawyers continue to cover up their dark secrets? The FBI seems to be on their trail and during an interview Connor (Jack Falahee) panics. In the end there is a murderous series finale, which also demands victims from within the ranks.
The guest stars
In the sixth season of the successful series, numerous guest stars will once again be seen: Emily Bergl ("Desperate Housewives"), Kathleen Quinlan ("Apollo 13"), Esai Morales ("Ozark"), Jessica Marie Garcia ("On My Blog") , Laura Innes ("Emergency Room"), Tess Harper ("Breaking Bad"), DW Moffett ("Chicago Med") and Cynthia Stevenson ("Men in Trees") are among others honored.
The success of the series
The pilot episode of the crime series was broadcast on US broadcaster ABC on September 25, 2014 and, with over 14 million viewers, is one of the most successful in the history of the broadcaster. One actress is particularly responsible for the success of the series: For her role in "How to Get Away with Murder", leading actress Viola Davis was the first black actress to receive the Emmy in the category "Best Actress in a Drama Series" in 2015. She was able to take the Screen Actors Guild Award home in the same category in 2015 and 2016. In the same years she was also nominated for the role for the Golden Globe.
