Earlier this week, Times critic Alessandra Stanley drew the Internet’s ire
in a piece erroneously attributing the creation of “Murder” and Davis’
character, criminal law professor Annalise Keating, to Rhimes (among
numerous inaccuracies). The show is actually created by Peter Nowalk, who has inhabited the twisted streets of Shondaland since 2008, starting out as a story editor
and writer on “Grey’s Anatomy” and ascending the ranks to become a
co-executive producer on “Scandal,” before finally creating “How to Get
Away with Murder.” While Rhimes undoubtedly has a guiding hand in the
series as an executive producer and mentor to the first-time creator,
“Murder” is most assuredly Nowalk’s show. Variety sat down with
him at ABC’s Television Critics Assn. press day in July to talk about
his inspiration for the project, his experiences working with Rhimes and
the importance of diversity in both casting and writing characters
