Mid-Season 1 Premiere and Season 1 Finale Dates Announced

"How to Get Away With Murder" concluded its first nine-episode run last night with an epic, jaw-dropping and outstanding mid-season finale (1x09 "Kill Me, Kill Me, Kill Me"). Unfortunately, that means we won't get to see any new episodes until 2015.

The mid-season premiere of the show is scheduled for January 29, 2015, in its regular timeslot, meaning that the winter break is going to last for roughly two months. The show will then, beginning with episode 1x10 (title TBA), run straight through five weeks, ending on February 26, 2015 with a two-hour season finale. I personally assume that "How to Get Away With Murder" will take over "Scandal"'s timeslot for that special occasion. 

The ratings basically imply a second season renewal of the show, but we will know probably earliest sometime around March (May is possible as well, as ABC has announced its renewals in May for the recent years). The new ABC drama "American Crime" is going to substitute "How to Get Away With Murder" in the week following the latter's season finale.
