HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER:
THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON

Own TV's Hottest New Drama on DVD August 4th


Dangerous. Mesmerizing. That's the final verdict on ABC's How To Get Away With Murder, the sexy ensemble drama where brilliant and seductive Annalise Keating (Viola Davis - Screen Actors Guild Awards Winner for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in Drama Series for How To Get Away With Murder) dominates her classroom as powerfully as she dominates the courtroom. Each year, she chooses several top law students to assist with her high-profile, albeit morally ambiguous, court cases.

But the lines between defending and committing murder soon begin to blur when Annalise and her students become intimately involved in a sordid homicide that could destroy them all. Ride this raw, intense rollercoaster with all 15 episodes. Plus, experience exclusive, never-before-seen bonus features available only on DVD. How To Get Away With Murder: The Complete First Season - from its first frame to its last - this new national obsession exhibits "intent to thrill" in the first degree.

How To Get Away With Murder stars Viola Davis as Annalise Keating, Billy Brown as Nate Lahey, Alfred Enoch as Wes Gibbins, Jack Falahee as Connor Walsh, Katie Findlay as Rebecca Sutter, Aja Naomi King as Michaela Pratt, Matt McGorry as Asher Millstone, Karla Souza as Laurel Castillo, Charlie Weber as Frank Delfino and Liza Weil as Bonnie Winterbottom. Creator & Executive Producer: Peter Nowalk. Executive Producers: Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers, Bill D'Elia.

Bonus Features:

• FIRST YEAR LAW - Welcome to Keating & Associates. Not your average law firm, or your average TV legal drama. In this piece we take a closer look at the show and its fast paced, time shifting style. We will meet the Keating 5 as well as Annalise and her associates to learn about how the cast is enjoying their success and getting used to a fast paced smart show.
• "BYE FELICIA" MUSIC VIDEO It's Asher's last day of college, he's been accepted to the ultra prestigious Middleton Law School and to make things even more dope, his dad has just sent him a big fat congratulation check. His investments are already on point, so this is just fun money. He's about to send off his Frat brothers with the freshest party his Ivy League campus has ever seen. We're going to follow him from the time he wakes up and counts his blessings, through pre-gaming, getting turnt up and throwing down until the break of dawn yo. At least that's Asher's plan. In reality we'll see a guy flexing pretty hard to look a lot more baller than he actually is. Still he'll almost pull it off. And that's the joy of it.
