It's September already, which means Season 2 of "How To Get Away With Murder" is fast approaching and fans couldn't be more excited for the return of professor of defense law, Annalise Keating (Viola Davis), and her best law students. The show has a lot in store for the fans beginning with the fate of Rebecca Sutter (Katie Findlay).

Nowalk also shared that Rebecca's death is something that will be remembered on the show, the same way it is for Sam Keating's (Tom Verica) and Lila Stangard's (Megan West) murders. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he said, "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." He also added that Rebecca's character plays an important part in the second installment of the show even though she's already dead.
