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 let there be a season two! I would love to see how Mr. Wallace story turns out and the justice he should receive.
Keep it going. I want to see the evil people brought down!
I absolutely ♥️ this show, I can relate to this show in more then a few ways. It’s the only show I look forward to seeing. ABC please renew I do believe the views will Grow!!!
For Life ALL hands down should definitely be renewed for Season 2!! It’s become my favorite show!! Please renew for another season! 50cent…maaan you did again with this show..you the realest!!! #TeamForLife
love this show. its very much an edge of your seat nail biter keeping you in suspense constantly. I’m definitely rooting for Aaron. hope this show gets renewed for many more seasons.
For Life is fantastic. I hope to see a season 2.
Please renew FOR LIFE for S2
Love this show. Unfortunately like so many people today I am not able to watch live but I record and watch every episode weekly.
” For Life” should most definitely be renewed. There is a lot of this story that has not been uncovered, and Aaron needs more time to show the corruption.
Please renew the show this is one of my favorite shows I love and last Tuesdays episode left us all wondering what will he do ???? Please don’t cancel
For life is another show that didn’t get nearly the exposure it should have gotten it is an awesome show it is left me hanging I did not know anything about it but I was told about it I just watched every episode season one on demand I’ve been watching it all day long I am totally hooked I want to know what happens please bring back the show even if it’s a short season give me a finale please thank you very much
How come so few are watching this show, it’s THE BEST! There HAS to be a season 2 where Maskins and all his cronies end up in jail, the equally corrupt new warden joins them, the female warden gets her job back and enacts her reforms for all those left behind, including Aaron’s best friend in there, and Aaron gets his life back! Ending like it did with that awful clemency offer would be TERRIBLE!
Recently watched all of season 1 of For Life on Hulu. I enjoyed the show quite a bit. Hate for it to be canceled. Premise that a prisoner uses his smarts to take down corruption keeps my interest, including all the drama that unfolds.
Keep the facts coming. It truly shows the true nature of the system of corruption!!!! IM UP FOR SPENDING MY TIME WATCHING WELL DESERVED TRUTH!!! #LOVEFORLIFE
I would be completely devastated if For Life is cancelled, it is by far the best thing on TV right now
At a time when many are seeing how prisoners are actually treated because of the pandemic, shows like “For Life” are ever more important. Plus, it’s well done and well-acted. Pop culture is a very significant place for themes like this that need more attention.
Renew! FOR LIFE is the best abc show on!!! Please renew!! There’s a season for the retrial, and after that he can take down all the corrupt officials! Lots to write about!!!!!
