‘Murder’, which is executive produced by ‘Scandal’ creator Shonda Rhimes, has been a ratings smash – regularly topping its 10pm time-slot since its debut. Indeed, many have marvelled at its ability to maintain its buzz since blasting off last Fall with viewership of 14 million.  Its renewal (which was widely expected) comes after lead Viola Davis, who plays defence attorney/lecturer Annalise Keating, teased season two:

We are still catching our breath from last night, as such we’re elated to have confirmation of the show’s return later this year.
