What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the ABC television network, 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).
Season Two Ratings
The second season of For Life averaged a 0.35 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.81 million viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 38% in the demo and down by 26% in viewership. Find out how For Life stacks up against other ABC TV shows.
For Life has been cancelled, so there will not be a third season. Could the series return someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew For Life for season three? Last season, this show was ABC’s lowest-rated scripted series to be renewed. The numbers haven’t gotten any better but it’s a very topical show right now. It seems likely to be cancelled, especially since ABC doesn’t own the show outright. However, it’s reportedly done well on Hulu (which Disney controls) so it could move there for year three. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
