"The storylines that I have in my head are very rich and complex, so I don't know when we'll tell them, but I think they are worth seeing," "How to Get Away with Murder" season 3 showrunner Pete Nowalk said, as per Variety. "It's about making their characters feel believable and possible and those are the stories that I really want to continue."
