American Crime- Introduction

American Crime is a highly anticipated drama coming to ABC in March. It will be replacing “How to Get Away with Murder”, which currently occupies the 10 p.m. time-slot on Thursday nights for the network. American Crime will attempt to do what the current Thursday night shows do on ABC: stimulate conversation and a lot of buzz on social media that gets people talking about the program, and in turn, creates large viewership numbers. It follows the story of a racially charged murder, and the court hearing process that follows that murder. The show has some decent star power behind it including Felicity Huffman and Timothy Hutton.
