Sky Witness Sets UK Premiere Date for How to Get Away with Murder Season 6

Sky Witness confirmed that the sixth and final season of How to Get Away with Murder would premiere in the UK on Wednesday 1 April 2020 at 9pm. The announcement gave British fans a firm date to catch the concluding chapter of the hit ABC legal thriller, which had become known for its high drama, shocking twists and powerhouse performances.

Season six brought the story of Annalise Keating, played by Viola Davis, to a dramatic close. Since its debut in 2014, the series followed Keating, a brilliant but troubled law professor, and her group of students who became entangled in a series of murders, cover ups and betrayals. The final season promised answers to long running questions while delivering the same mix of suspense and emotional intensity that defined the show.

The new episodes saw Annalise facing her most difficult challenges yet as the truth about her past and her actions began to catch up with her. Meanwhile, her students — played by Jack Falahee, Aja Naomi King, Matt McGorry, Karla Souza and Conrad Ricamora — found themselves confronting the consequences of years of deception. The shifting alliances and mounting pressure kept the tension high throughout the season.

For Sky Witness, premiering the final season was part of its strategy to provide UK audiences with timely access to major US dramas. The channel had built a strong identity around procedural and character driven series, and How to Get Away with Murder was one of its standout imports. The Wednesday night slot gave the show a prime time platform for its climactic run.

Viola Davis’s performance remained the cornerstone of the series. Her portrayal of Annalise earned widespread acclaim and made her the first Black woman to win the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. In season six, Davis delivered another tour de force performance, portraying Annalise’s vulnerability and resilience as she fought to regain control of her life.

The final run also promised to tie up loose ends and provide closure for fans who had followed the twists and turns of the Keating Five. While known for its shocking cliffhangers and bold narrative choices, the series also earned praise for its representation and exploration of complex social issues. The last season continued that tradition while steering the story toward its ultimate conclusion.

UK fans welcomed the news of the April premiere, with many taking to social media to express excitement and sadness that the series was ending. The quick scheduling after the US broadcast reflected Sky Witness’s commitment to delivering high profile dramas without lengthy delays, ensuring British viewers could avoid spoilers and stay part of the global conversation.

When How to Get Away with Murder returned to Sky Witness in April 2020, it marked the beginning of the end for one of television’s most gripping legal thrillers. The final season promised to go out with the same intensity and unpredictability that had defined the series, cementing its place as a standout drama of the past decade.
