In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, showrunner Pete Nowak addressed the question about the ending of season 2 of How to Get Away with Murder, which is currently in development.

The report also unveiled the new poster for the next chapter of the ABC legal thriller. When asked if he already knew how season 2 would be concluded, alluding to a cliffhanger like Rebecca's death in season 1, Nowak remained tight-lipped, cautious about giving away any spoilers, but he did suggest that he had an idea of how this chapter was going to conclude. But then he added a caveat stating that he didn't know that Rebecca would be killed off in season 1, and subsequently didn't even have the fact that her killer will be revealed in the premiere of season 2 figured out.

"I have an idea but it will probably change. I did not know season one ended with Rebecca dead," he said. "When we did that, I didn't know we'd reveal who her killer is in the premiere. I like to have a goal that I also know I can throw out."

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."

The finale of season 1 aired on Feb. 26.

Season 2 will premiere on Sept. 25.
