Season 6 of the Shondaland hit How to Get Away With Murder is nearing its end, and audience are hoping they'll finally get to grasp who killed Annalise Keating.

The season opened with a bounce to Annalise's funeral, suggesting that the team's ring chief might be gone by the finish of the season. But since we're speaking about HTGAWM, anything else is imaginable, in reality.

There were twists and turns at each and every corner of this season, including the sudden return of Wes and Frank's death.

But is Viola Davis' character in truth lifeless — and if this is the case, who killed her?

Does Annalise die in Season 6 of 'HTGAWM'?

Annalise's funeral has been the point of interest of this season, and while the show's writers indisputably need you to suppose Annalise is long gone for just right, bringing characters back from the lifeless would not be a new tactic.

There's been some speculation that Annalise in truth faked her demise, and the funeral is simply phase of her cover-up, although not anything's been confirmed but. Considering this is set to be the show's closing season, it will be fitting that the display's motive force is dead. (And making an allowance for all of the other deaths Annalise has been considering, it is not surprising any person would want her useless.)

Whether or not Annalise is actually long past for just right will likely be printed all over the series finale, but till then, Annalise's destiny will stay in limbo.

Who killed Annalise?

There are so much of individuals who would want Annalise lifeless, so there are a few imaginable suspects here — some extra glaring than others.

When Michaela came upon Annalise knew her beginning father, she flat-out instructed her, "If that’s true, I’m going to kill you.” Clearly, Michaela has it in for Annalise, but her threat feels too obvious of a solution if she actually did kill Annalise.

Gabriel is another possible contender. His mother is in town, and considering what length he will go to to protect her, it's possible he would be the one to kill Annalise, though less out of malice than some other suspects. That being said, Gabriel's mother could also be the killer. Just take one look at their history and try to say she doesn't have a reason to want Annalise dead.

US Bookies weighed in on the possibilities, and while it's not likely, they did point out that Annalise could've died in the courthouse shooting. If it was Annalise who was shot, then that would explain the funeral and wrap up all of the loose ends from this season.

The betting company also suggests it's likely we'll see the demise of even more characters this season, including Jorge and Nate leaving the HTGAWM universe for good.

So who really killed Annalise?

The answer is really simple: no one killed Annalise. 

Since the beginning of Season 6, viewers were led to think Annalise dies in the present day, thanks to that shot of her present-day photo at her funeral. But the funeral actually doesn't take place in the present — it takes place years into the future.

In the series finale, we learn that Annalise was found not guilty on every murder charge she was being tried for, clearing her legally of any wrongdoing.

So Annalise walks free, telling the reporters who are waiting outside she's “grateful that the jury did the right thing despite some pressure from some very powerful people.”

However, while Annalise is talking to reports, both Frank and Bonnie are killed in the courthouse shooting, as Frank sacrificed himself to save Annalise, while Bonnie was killed in the resulting gunfire.

And Wes? He's not really back from the dead. Instead, the man who speaks at Annalise's funeral is Laurel and Wes's son, Christopher, who is played by the same actor.

"It used to be no longer the finishing I always envisioned as a result of I by no means envisioned one. I handiest go from season to season," showrunner Pete Nowalk stated to Deadline of the season finale.
