Hayley Atwell’s last ABC series, Marvel’s Agent Carter, lasted two seasons before being cancelled. How will Conviction do in the ratings? Will it be renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
A legal drama series, Conviction follows what happens when attorney Hayes Morrison (Hayley Atwell), the daughter of a former President, gets “blackmailed” into joining the Conviction Integrity Unit. It’s a NYC department that re-examines cases when there is suspicion of wrongful conviction. The rest of the cast includes Eddie Cahill, Shawn Ashmore, Merrin Dungey, Emily Kinney, Manny Montana, and Daniel Franzese.

5/12 update: ABC has officially cancelled Conviction after one season. Details here.
I enjoyed the show would like to see it renewed. Give it a chance to catch on.
Love the show. Please don’t cancel
I really enjoyed watching Conviction. There are actual Organizations and Groups who fight for the wrongfully incarcerated. I live in Amarillo Texas and I know of a case that happened a few years ago where an innocent man was put to death and shortly afterwards the real criminal was caught and even admitted to it. Every show similar to this one gets canceled. I know that they can’t always prove the person innocent, but with more and more technology maybe less innocent people will be in prisoned.
I have enjoyed CONVICTION. I watch it on Hulu over and over. Hayes is one of my favorite characters and her team is great. I wish you could bring it back. My husband spent 17 years on death row but DNA exonerated him. I know there are other real stories. You can make the ratings
People need to know that the wrong person are incarcerated for years and even life.
Please don’t cancel Conviction! Great show!!!
This show needs to be renewed because compared to most shows, the writing was gripping, the characters were well developed, the actors worked great together and the story line kept me interested in seeing the next episode. There’s enough crap out there that needs to go before this.
We really enjoyed the clever writing on Conviction. It would be a shame if the series were cancelled. The ensemble cast seemed to work well together.
I really enjoy the show and hope it is continued
Please don’t cancel conviction it is an awesome show.
