In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, showrunner Pete Nowak talked about what fans can expect from season 2 of How to Get Away with Murder.

Supernatural Star Joins Cast For Season 2

One of the more interesting facets about the interview had to do with the fact that even though Rebecca is dead her case and the consequences of the murder are going to continue to linger through the next chapter.

"It doesn't go away. Just like anything in our show, I don't want anything to be forgotten," he said. "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. 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."

New Teaser For Return Of Show Unveiled

Fans will find out who killed Rebecca in the season 2 premiere, leading from which the publication raised another interesting question for Nowak, about more deaths on the show to keep up the mystery perhaps. Nowak suggested that they weren't following any strict formula in that regard and that he was more excited about the challenges that lay before Olivia Pope are her team:

"I'm going to be blunt, I don't know. I haven't known anything since I wrote the first scripts. What I know is I'm following the storyline episode to episode. People do bad things in life and they have to do more bad things to get away with them. What we've come up with for season two - and there's so much - I hope people are going to be excited about the new mysteries we introduce. The high-stakes situation they've been put in - will they get away with Sam's murder? - is going to affect their future decisions in that they're going to make even riskier decisions. In terms of the longevity of the show, Tony Soprano, Walter White and Olivia Pope were constantly doing bad things. That's the challenge for me and keeps me up and night, terrified, but it's also exciting to figure out what the direction of the show is. There doesn't have to be a formula; there doesn't have to be a murder every season, just as long as the characters are full."

The finale of season 1 aired on Feb. 26.

Season 2 will premiere on Sept. 25.
