‘How to Get Away with Murder’ Casting News: ‘Y&R’ Alum Wilson Bethel Joins Show

How to Get Away With Murder just got a little bit hotter. Young & The Restless alum Wilson Bethel will join the cast of the TV megahit when it returns for the second half of season two.

Although most of the details surrounding Bethel's character are being kept quiet, showrunner Pete Nowalk gave some inside information to TV Line.

Bethel will join Shonda Rhimes' hit show alongside former Chicago Hope actor Alan Arkin and former Hung actress Roxanne Hart. Bethel, Arkin and Hart make up the superwealthy Mahoney family, which will be involved in a murder case. The case will also involve Annalise, played by Emmy winner Viola Davis. He also said the three new characters will not have a connection to Annalise or anyone in her inner circle.

The only detail to be revealed about the former Hart of Dixie star's character, Charles Mahoney, is that he's an Ivy League-educated guy.

The ABC show returns Feb. 11. Bethel is slated for a six-episode arc, and theres no official date for Charles to make his debut. The third season has not been officially confirmed, but as it's one of ABC's hottest properties, it's more likely than not to be back in the fall. 

Since his days on Y&R , Bethel has been seen on Bates Motel, The Astronauts Wives Club and most recently, the now-canceled Blood and Oil.
