‘How To Get Away With Murder’ Season 2 Spoilers: Consequences of Rebecca’s Death to Linger

Filming for the second season of ABC television series 'How To Get Away With Murder' has commenced and the show is slated to premiere on Sept. 24.

IB Times reports that in 'How To Get Away With Murder' Season 1 finale, viewers saw Wes's girlfriend Rebecca dead in the basement. Rebecca's body was discovered by Frank and Annalise (Viola Davis), who swear that they had no role whatsoever in her murder.

Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, showrunner Pete Nowak teased that the consequences of Rebecca's murder will remain in Season 2.

Nowak said, "It doesn't go away. Just like anything in our show, I don't want anything to be forgotten. Just like Sam's murder, Lila's murder, yes they're dead, but the consequences of that continue to reverberate. The same is going to happen with Rebecca."

The showrunner added, "Some people will know she's dead; some people will know who killed her; some people will think she's missing. She plays a big part in season two, even though she's dead."

When Nowak was asked if 'How To Get Away With Murder' Season 2 will have a theme, he disclosed, "I don't approach writing so much from theme, but if there was, it would be: What has Annalise (Davis) wrought? How does she live with herself doing all the bad things she does?"

"That is something that every character is dealing with thematically: We did this terrible thing, why don't we just turn ourselves in? Why do we want to keep going? It's an existential crisis," Pete added.

The showrunner also revealed that season 2 will feature a new student in Annalise Keating's class.

Nowak teased, "In the premiere, we'll meet a few new characters - some from people's backstories and previous parts of their life - and some brand-new characters to them. That's all I'll say; I don't want to give away too much."
