'How to Get Away with Murder' creator wants to take a sharp turn in the rest of the season

Warning: spoilers ahead for the most recent episode.

ABC's "How to Get Away with Murder" just arguably closed the darkest storyline of its run with last week's winter finale. But the show's creator would like to turn some of that around.

"The show is always going to be intense and dark, but I'm craving a balance of fun, too," Peter Nowalk recently told Business Insider.

On last week's episode, we found out that Wes (Alfred Enoch) was the one who shot legal diva Annalise (Viola Davis). But he didn't just shoot to injure her for the sake of their coverup of Asher's (Matt McGorry) murder of prosecutor Emily Sinclair (Sarah Burns). It had seemed Wes shot to kill. And then we found out that Annalise and her college girlfriend Eve (Famke Janssen) had something to do with his mother's suicide.

And that's just the Wes and Asher drama.

But Nowalk says that he's seriously contemplating a lighter remainder of the season when the show picks up again on February 11.
