These days, sudden cliffhanger cancelations have become a bit of a rarity, with networks choosing to hand out final season orders instead of cutting them off at the knees.
近来，因为网友们选择支持电视剧最终季的续订，而不是剧集腰斩，所以突然吊人胃口地取消电视剧续订已经有些罕见了。

It's not always a surefire thing, but in the case of How to Get Away with Murder, we're pretty sure ABC wouldn't be so cruel as to leave us dangling off that Season 5 cliffhanger.
虽然这并不一定可靠，但就《逍遥法外》而言，我们很确定美国广播公司不会这么残忍地用第五季的悬念吊着我们。

When all was said and done, we were left wondering whether Laurel (Karla Souza) and baby Christopher were kidnapped by her nefarious brother or whether she'd orchestrated the whole thing in order to disappear.
当该说的都说了，该做的都做了，我们就想知道劳蕾尔（卡拉·苏扎饰）和小克里斯托弗是否被她恶毒的弟弟绑架了，是否是她为了离开而精心安排了这一切。

On top of that, Annalise's (Viola Davis) boss, Emmett Crawford (Timothy Hutton), who'd just been framed for murder, was left gasping for breath on the floor of his office after an apparent poisoning.
此外，安娜丽丝（维奥拉·戴维斯饰）的老板埃米特·克劳福德（提莫西·赫顿饰）刚被陷害谋杀，而在一次显而易见的投毒之后，他气喘吁吁地倒在了他办公室的地板上。

If that wouldn't make the worst accidental series finale ever, we don't know what would. Luckily, showrunner Pete Nowalk understands and agrees.
我们不知道还有什么样的结局会比这样意外的结局更糟糕了。幸好剧集制作人皮特·诺沃克明白我们的想法，也同意我们的意见。

"That's a huge mystery as we go into another season," Nowalk told TV Guide of Laurel and Christopher's uncertain fates, "which fingers crossed we'll get. Obviously, we wrote it with the plan that we would get another season. That would be a terrible ending."
“那会是我们拍摄下一季时的一个巨大的谜团，”诺沃克向《电视指南》谈及劳蕾尔和克里斯托弗不确定的命运时说道，“我们也会为他们祈求好运。显然，我们这样写是有拍摄下一季的计划的。不然，那会是一个糟糕的结局。”

ABC hasn't yet given word about whether How to Get Away with Murder will return for Season 6, but that's not necessarily anything to be alarmed about at this point.
美国广播公司还未透露是否会续订《逍遥法外》第六季，但目前倒还没什么好担心的。

In previous years, renewals for the show have come in February, March and even May, so there's not a whole lot of method to the madness. We could be waiting a while for news about whether the show will return, but regardless, Nowalk has ideas for another season.
前几年，这部剧都是在二月、三月，甚至五月才续订，所以目前还没有一大堆疯狂的（催更）方法。我们可以等等关于这部剧是否会回归的消息，但不管怎样，诺沃克是有制作下一季的想法的。
