Singer Mary J. Blige will join the cast of ABC’s How To Get Away With Murder this season. The series will return for its third season next month with Viola Davis playing the role of a law professor whose husband was killed by five of her students.

Mary’s role in the series has not yet been revealed, but fans can look for her character to have a major part in one of the storylines this season.

Showrunner Peter Nowalk had this to say about the forthcoming season:

What I feel strongly about the show is that we don’t have to follow a formula. We can always mix it up. We had just a few less cases of the weeks this year just because we had so much to accomplish with revealing what happened to Annalise’s baby and her connection to Rose. I feel like the show works best when we’re balanced and you don’t really know what coming, but to me, there’s no rules.
