‘How to Get Away with Murder’ season 3: Viola Davis hints at new mystery

The third season of “How to Get Away with Murder” is coming up on ABC this fall, and based on what we know about it right now, it looks like it could be a little bit more balanced than what we saw for most of the last season. Specifically, what we mean by that is that there could be some reminders that Annalise Keating is an actual professor, something that we really did not get to see a whole lot of over the course of the second season of the show.

In speaking about what’s coming up to Deadline, here is what Viola Davis had to say:

“[He’s] presenting a new mystery, and it’s going to be presented very quickly in the first episode, which, by the way, we cannot figure out on the set. I mean, last year we could figure it out; we actually did. We got together and figured it out. This year we’re totally stumped. But with that new mystery, he explores the relationships in a much deeper way. And then I guess I’m dealing with the Keating Five, but I’m also dealing with other students in Middleton University. So, there’s going to be a whole different classroom where they’re dealing with pro bono cases. All of it will be solved within the season–a lot of questions will be answered.”

Ultimately, all of this sounds great to us because we’re getting back to some of the foundation of the show: These people who are students in Annalise’s class, who at the same time have to deal with extraordinary circumstances and consequences that come out of their actions working with her.
