How We Got Away with Murder

In Episode 3, “Smile, or Go to Jail,” Matt and Jack dive into one of Season One’s first truly wild twists. What starts as a routine misdemeanor defense quickly explodes when their new client is revealed to be a long-wanted domestic terrorist tied to a deadly 1994 bombing. Meanwhile, tensions within the Keating Five escalate: Connor’s past collides with Michaela’s fiancé, Wes goes rogue trying to protect Rebecca, and the infamous Night X bonfire alibi begins to take shape.

Jack and Matt sit down with How to Get Away with Murder creator Pete Nowalk for a deep-dive chat into how the iconic pilot came together. Pete revisits the whirlwind of developing the story, figuring out the show’s signature flash-forward structure, and the early uncertainty over whether audiences would connect with such a morally complicated world. He shares behind-the-scenes stories about shaping Annalise Keating, navigating network notes, and the nerve-racking process of casting a lead who could command the series’ emotional and intellectual intensity. Packed with anecdotes about collaboration, creative risk, and trusting bold instincts, the episode offers fans a rare look at the making of a television pilot that changed the landscape of network drama forever.

Jack and Matt dive into the HTGAWM pilot — the episode that started it all. From first impressions and early character dynamics to casting surprises and those unforgettable flash-forwards, the guys break down what immediately hooked audiences (and what still holds up a decade later). Jack reacts to the pilot with fresh eyes, while Matt fills in behind-the-scenes context, including what it felt like stepping onto set for the very first time. Along the way, they unpack Annalise Keating’s commanding introduction, the formation of the Keating Five, and how the pilot set the tone for six seasons of secrets, lies, and legal chaos.

Here we go, HTGAWM fans! Episode 1 of How We Got Away with Murder kicks off by going all the way back to the beginning — before the twists, before the chaos, before anyone knew what the show would become.
