MANILA, Philippines — The newly launched Sony Channel in the Philippines announced the premiere of series "How To Get Away With Murder" set for Wednesday at 9:05 p.m..
Academy-Award nominee Viola Davis stars as the brilliant, charismatic criminal law professor who teaches a course she boldly calls "How To Get Away With Murder," choosing the brightest students to join her firm.
"I don't know what terrible things you've done in your life up to this point, but clearly your karma's out of balance to get assigned my class. I'm Professor Annalise Keating and this is Criminal Law 100, or as I prefer to call it, How to Get Away with Murder," she pronounces.
The students vying for this coveted position include:
- Wes Gibbins (Alfred Enoch), a wide-eyed, likable boy-next-door recently accepted off the wait list
- Michaela Pratt (Aja Naomi King), a confident, ambitious overachiever born knowing how to "lean in"
- Connor Walsh (Jack Falahee), a sly, sophisticated heartbreaker used to getting any prize he lays his eyes on;
- Laurel Castillo (Karla Souza), a quiet, sensitive idealist who's easy to underestimate
- Asher Millstone (Matt McGorry), an entitled know-it-all born into a world of Ivy League educations and country club memberships.
The students all work under two of Annalise's dedicated associates: Frank Delfino (Charlie Weber), a local Philly boy done good, and Bonnie Winterbottom (Liza Weil), a sweet, observant team-player with a hidden edge.
"How to Get Away with Murder" is created and executive-produced by Pete Nowalk ("Scandal," "Grey's Anatomy").
hondaRhimes ("Scandal," "Grey's Anatomy"), Betsy Beers ("Scandal," "Grey's Anatomy") and Bill D'Elia ("Grey's Anatomy," "The West Wing") also serve as executive producers. "How to Get Away with Murder" is produced by ABC Studios.
"How To Get Away With Murder" premieres with a double episode tonight.
Sony Channel will be seen on SKYCable Channel 35, Cignal Digital TV Channel 60, Destiny Cable Channel 62, Cable Link Channel 39 starting October 15.
