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.

What do you think? Are you glad that the For Life TV show has been renewed for a second season? How would you feel if ABC had cancelled this TV series, instead?
There are so few shows on the Prime Channels that I like anymore. “For Life” happens to be one I have gotten interested in. I really wish we could get some more good shows on. Hope to see this one back for a Second season if it stays on the par it has been working on.

Definitely looking forward to a 2nd season
Please don’t leave us hanging. It can’t end that way. This is the best show we have seen in a very long time. Please renew. The sooner the better!!!

Looking forward to the return of FOR LIFE.
For Life is an EXCELLANT SHOW please RENEW I WANT TO SEE MORE. The actor is awesome❤❤❤
Enjoyed season 1 please bring back season 2 really enjoying this show
Awesome show with great characters and directing. I don’t get into shows very often and I was hooked from episode 1. It does a great job on showing how bad the justice system sometimes is. Please bring it back but I want Aaron to get out. Have him continue to help those inside the prison who have been wronged by the system.
I have watched this show since its release and it’s been something to look fwd to each week! One of the few tv series I’ve ever been completely into so the second season should definitely come out asap!!
i want it to renwew
This show is incredibly compelling. The cast is superb. I look forward to a season 2 and hope that it happens. I am surprised everyone is not watching this show every week. I have loved watching For Life season 1 immensely.
This needs a Second Series!
We need to see how Aaron retrial play out for that innocent man. Great series speaks a lot of truth and Dedication.
Either there should have been a proper ending tying up all the lose ends or a 2nd season
