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, 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.

Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew For Life for season two? The network’s struggled to fill the Tuesdays at 10:00 PM timeslot for quite awhile. The ratings are quite low for this series so, I think this one will be cancelled. I’ll update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on For Life cancellation or renewal news.

Please bring for life back. It is thebest show on television. I love aaron. My sister and i wait for Tuesday’s so we can watch.
Yes I really enjoyed the show my husband and I were stuck on the sofa binged watched this. It needs to come back for another season. Great story that needs to be told
“For Life” is one of the best shows on network television exposing many of the injustices in the legal system and the need for prison reform. The writing and cast is top notch. I look forward to season two!

Yes “For Life” MUST be renewed for a 2nd season! It is one if the best TV series that has been aired in a LONG TIME! To end it now, at the onset of the trial, the basis of the show, would be ridiculous! Please renew “For Life” for Season 2!!
Yes, Definitely renew this show! People need to see the Injustice of innocent people being incarcerated and the need for prison reform. I’m rooting for Aaron to make it and hope this show leads to some good.
For Life HAS to be renewed! I have watched since E1. I was hooked from the get go. My daughters watched every episode also. After watching E1 I called my BFF and told her its a must see. She ended up watching the next morning @4 am Hulu. She was also hooked from there. I don’t want it to end.
I absolutely love this show, has it been renewed?
I would love if the show continued. I enjoyed this program. I know the history of Issac Wright Jr.
I love the show for life one of the best shows next to a million little things I hope they both get renewed
Keep For Life. Good show
I love the show on ABC “ For Life “ very well made.
Please renew For Life it’s an excellent ,well written show. Plus this is a one of a kind series.
I can so relate to this show in so many ways my husband was convicted of a crime he didn’t commit. I have stood by his side from day one. Season two is a must. I just recently found it on hulu. I literally binge watched 9 episodes in less than 24 hours the day I found it. Now that I’m caught up I literally can’t wait for the next episode to show up in my keep watching list. If I don’t see a season 2 I will be very upset and disappointed
I want 2nd season for life a must
