How to Get Away With Murder Season 6 returned for its sixth and final season on September 26, 2019. The thrilling series created by Peter Nowalk and produced by Shonda Rhimes continues the suspenseful narrative and wraps up all lingering questions and plotlines.

Before ABC Studios renewed the show for another season, the fear among those who faithfully followed the addictive show was that following the low rankings of the season five which was worse than any previous season, ABC may decide not to renew it. More so, since the show first began in 2014, its viewership had continued to drop, with the fifth season more than 50% fewer viewers than the first season, going by Nielson ratings.

Back to HTGAWM season 6, information as regards the return of the show is still scarce, but here is everything you want to know for now.

Is Season 6 the Last Season of HTGAWM?

The last season of “How to Get Away with Murder” was Season 6. It concluded the series, wrapping up the storylines of Annalise Keating and her students.

The concern is as a result of the continuous fall in the ranking of the show as well as its viewership. By the end of its first season, How To Get Away with Murder had recorded 11.40 viewers and was ranked 30. By the end of the fourth season, the viewership had gone down to 6.42 million while the ranking was 64. It further went down in the fifth season.

With that said, if the next season continues with the poor viewership, it will not come as a surprise if ABC Studios decides not to give it yet another try. These, however, are just speculations and more importantly for fans is to keep enjoying it while it is still alive.
