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. Jack and Matt set the stage with early casting stories, first impressions of meeting each other, and what it was really like arriving in Philly to shoot the pilot. Along the way, they tease show secrets, explore the characters' moral gray areas, and unpack the emotional stakes that made this show so unforgettable — all while celebrating what made fans fall in love in the first place. Whether you’re revisiting HTGAWM or stepping into the classroom for the first time, consider this your spoiler-free invitation back into a world where nothing is as simple as it seems — and everyone has something to hide.

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.

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.

In Episode 2 — “It’s All Her Fault” — Matt and Jack revisit the moment when How to Get Away with Murder officially got picked up, reflecting on the move from freezing Philadelphia to sunny Los Angeles and the nerve-wracking limbo between filming the pilot and waiting for the series green light. As they jump into the episode, the guys unpack Annalise’s toxic entanglement with Nate, the deepening suspicion around Sam, and the uneasy dynamics of the Keating Five as their likeability starts to fray. The conversation lands on the episode’s final twist — Wes finding Rebecca at the motel — leaving questions swirling, and keep us guessing for what comes next.

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.

Frank Delfino aka Charlie Weber (Or is it the other way around?) joins Jack and Matt for his very first podcast appearance, calling in from a sunny 72-degree Santa Monica to talk about the winding road that brought him to one of TV's most unforgettable characters. From playing ball at Mizzou to getting inspired by Pulp Fiction, surviving a modeling scam (his looks were so convincing the scammers went legit), and landing some iconic Abercrombie spre ads, Charlie's path to Hollywood was anything but direct. An overnight success, they say! And it only took 14 years. 

Charlie opens up about the real anxieties of being a working actor, the massive character swing he took with Frank, and why he compares his relationship to the role the way Stallone talks about Rocky. He also shares a major breakthrough: you don't have to torture yourself to be good. Plus: airport bar alter egos, a laughing fit that takes everyone down, and styling his own hair for four seasons. Charlie also has a new film on the way, Highest Stakes, so stay tuned!
