It looks like Aaron’s journey likely won’t continue into the 2021-22 television season. The For Life series has been cancelled so, there won’t be a third season — at least not on ABC.
Airing on Wednesday nights, the For Life TV show is inspired by the life of Isaac Wright Jr. and stars Nicholas Pinnock, Indira Varma, Joy Bryant, Dorian Missick, Tyla Harris, and Timothy Busfield. The series follows the tale of Aaron Wallace (Pinnock), an incarcerated man who becomes a licensed lawyer while still in prison. Aaron litigates cases for other inmates while fighting to overturn his own life sentence for a crime he didn’t commit. In season two, Aaron continues his battle against the political machine that once put him away undeservedly while trying to rebuild his life on the outside. He has the continued help from the people who supported him — his family, wily one-time public defender Henry Roswell (Busfield), and his former prison warden, Safiya Masry (Varma).
The second season of For Life averaged a 0.35 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.81 million viewers in the live+same day ratings. Compared to season one, that’s down by 38% in the demo and down by 26% in viewership. It is the lowest-rated scripted show on the network for 2020-21 and finished airing its 10 episode season in late February.
Sony Pictures TV co-produces the drama series with ABC Signature and is expected to shop a possible third season to other outlets. For Life, has reportedly performed very well on Hulu, the streaming service which has released episodes the day after their linear release.
What do you think? Do you enjoy the For Life TV series? Are you sorry that it’s been cancelled? Were you looking forward to watching the third season on ABC?
For once in our life we see how corrupt our legal system really is and you take it off the air we the people need to know, and this series educated us, as I know well how factual this series expose it.
For Life was one of the best shows on TV

I thought it was very interesting and would love to see a season 3 series.
I love the show For life and hope it comes back it deals with topics never really seen on tv
“For Life” is the best scripted and acting done by main character I’ve ever watched. Additionally this was a true story of real life challenges and victory story. I am extremely disappointed & of the mature audience bracket . I am aware I am not in the network’s 18-49 preferred audience group. I truly sincerely hope more people who enjoy excellent quality productions will agree and send their comments into the network requesting they re-evaluate and reconsider their decision so that more people will know that Black Lives Do Matter so they can bring it back or sell the rights… Read more »
I loved For Life. The acting was amazing. I hope it will be revived.
This is one of my favorite tv shows. I think the script and actors are amazing. There are so many tv shows that should go but For Life should not be one.
This has become my favorite show. I have been waiting and waiting for Season 3. Please bring it back, I love the show.
I really like this show & Im ver sad it has ended
I am going to miss that show I watched all of them and I still love it BRING IT BACK
That was the best show I have seen in a long time!!!! I hope Netflix or somebody airs season 3. I love shows that are unpredictable that you can’t guess what happens next. Whoever wrote the story has an awesome mind, and the actors are believable. I hope you all work it out!!!!!
Love the show and I want a new season so bad!
I love this show!! How can people not watch it?!?!
