As fearless in the courtroom as she is in the classroom, Annalise is a defense attorney who represents the most hardened criminals – people who’ve committed everything from fraud to arson to murder. Annalise seems like she has it all – a successful career and a loving husband, Sam – but soon she will be forced to confront secrets about her life she never saw coming.

But that doesn’t mean they’re entirely honest with each other…

The more time he spends with her, the less innocent Wes becomes.

Will his natural confidence be able to carry him through a much darker journey?

Rebecca Sutter plays her music so loud the walls vibrate… which isn’t ideal for Wes, his next-door neighbor. A bartender at an off campus bar, Rebecca is no stranger to Middleton students…and their various vices.

Michaela Pratt
Played by Aja Naomi King

Nobody wants to impress Professor Annalise Keating more than Michaela Pratt. In fact, she doesn’t just want to impress her… she wants to be her. Michaela is an ambitious overachiever who was born knowing how to “lean in,” and she has the stellar resume and successful fiancé to prove it. Always the first person to raise her hand in class, Michaela is exceedingly over prepared and ready to amaze any professor or person of authority. But Annalise Keating? Will prove more difficult.

Asher Millstone
Played by Matt McGorry

Asher Millstone was born into a world of Ivy League educations and country club memberships. To his classmates, he’s an entitled, uber-prepared know-it-all, but Annalise knows something about Asher that will surprise the rest of the students – and end up making him a pivotal member of the firm.

Laurel Castillo
Played by Karla Souza

Laurel Castillo is a secret weapon in the making. A quiet, sensitive idealist who enrolled in law school to learn how to defend the less fortunate, Laurel manages to stay under the radar, making it easy for her fellow classmates to underestimate her.

His number one vice though? Sleeping with the students.
