(ABC)
Tuesdays at 10:00 PM continues to be a rough timeslot for the alphabet network. Many ABC shows have been cancelled in that timeslot over the years and the most recent occupant, Emergence, didn’t draw strong ratings either. Now, the alphabet network is trying a different kind of legal drama. Will that work? Will For Life be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
A legal and family drama series, 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, Mary Stuart Masterson, Boris McGiver, Felonious Munk, and 50 Cent. The series follows the tale of Aaron Wallace (Pinnock), an incarcerated man who becomes a licensed lawyer while still in prison. Wright litigates cases for other inmates while fighting to overturn his own life sentence for a crime he didn’t commit. Wright’s quest for freedom is driven by his desperate desire to reclaim the life that was stolen from him and to get back to the family he loves – his estranged wife, Marie (Bryant), and his daughter, Jasmine (Harris). Through the window of Wright’s ferocious struggle and complicated relationship with a progressive female prison warden (Varma), the series also examines the flaws and challenges in our penal and legal systems.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you like the For Life TV series on ABC? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?

I love this show and anticipate the next episode
I really love this series! Please don’t cancel it!
Love the show! I hope it is renewed.
Love this show!.. I can’t watch at the selected time but I ALWAYS watch On Demand with Spectrum & I’ve watched the episodes again & again.. I REALLY hope they bring it back for a second season!.. The actor who plays Aaron Wallace is hands down the ABSOLUTE best man for the part!.. Y’all made a GREAT choice casting him!..
Love it!
We love this show…… and we are praying it does NOT get cancelled . Since it’s based on a true story it really holds our interest …& we love the different twists & turns it takes. Thanks for something worth while to watch!!!!!
I love this show .. My family watches each week and we root for the underdog.. this show wakes up the system and theres so much truth that actually bothers us to know this goes on..But we are fans of this show for life!!!!!!!!!!!
too much rap musc in the series.One of the major reasons I don’t like it.The only reason I watch it is because there is nothing else on tv in that time slot.However I am very happy that Emergence has been cancelled.
Gary Richard’s it growing on each episode..good show
Who cares about 18-49’s. It’s the “Boomers” that count and are the majority.
I love the concept of this show being brought to us by an actor who gives it his all. The show keeps you wanting more and more and to see where his life lands.
Very good show.
I love For Life and I hope it gets renewed.
No I did not like the show at all
I am saddened that a major mistake is allowing the police to wear the U.S. flag patch on their right arm that faces in the wrong direction. Military and other agencies know better because it implies RETREAT, not going forward.
