And it probably wont be long before she suspects that her own father is to blame for his death.

Will she actually get it?

We know Laurels father was responsible for Wes death.

Esai Morales comes back.

That is a major thrust of our season.

That backstory is the spine of our season.

Our new season starts with the story line and it just goes gangbusters from there.

Each season youve started with a flash-forward or big revelation.

Are you going to do the same this year?Yes.

Im excited about the premiere because its very different for our show.

Its more character-driven, and its energetically quieter, but it all leads up to this final thing.

What are the themes that youre exploring this season?I think the theme is redemption.

Theres a lot of parenting themes in it as well.

Annalise is definitely on a redemption tour to pick herself up.

As low as shes ever been.

I totally agree with you.

I really wanted us to move forward.

The dynamics of the show are going to shift.

How will Laurel feel if and when she finds out her father is to blame?

We see Jorge in the first episode, but Jorge is more the person that Laurels dealing with.

Jorge would be her main target.

It sounds like shes going to find out pretty quick then.Id say that.

How is everyone feeling like regarding the loss of Wes this year?

I cant be more specific than that.

Their scenes together will be like mini plays.

The second year is where you go and start interning for other bigger law firms.

Well see if some of them want to do that.

Hes also going to find out a lot more about Connors parents.

Will we meet Laurels mom this year?Thats a good question.

Weve just written episode 4, so I dont know, but I like that idea.

We definitely have to meet her eventually.

How about for Michaela?Michaela is back in beast mode.

She is basically trying to erase what happened to her the first three seasons, besides her and Asher.

Shes in a great relationship with him.

Will we see any more family stuff for Annalise this year?There is family stuff.
