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 don’t cancel For life, it’s a very smart , well written show. Love it
For Life is one of the best shows we have seen in a long time. It’s not your normal police, hospital or crime show that we are flooded with. This show keeps you in suspense and not wanting the episode to end. Great acting and great characters. I have several friends hooked on this show. I really hope the show does not get cancelled.
It a very good show I enjoyed watching a second season would be great
Just as Aaron Wallace got a second chance in season one, the series deserves a second chance and a season 2! It would be a shame to cancel this series after only one season. Do the right thing and bring it back!
You absolutely need to make a second season of For Life!!!! It is sooooo good! I would, and many others, will be very disappointed if the show is canceled! It is the sad but true reality of our countries prison system and how corrupt it really, truly is.
Very good drama series particularly as it is the life of Isaac Wright, Jr . Who was wrongfully convicted and it shows the injustices of the legal system
Enjoyed every episode characters doing a marvellous acting job. Please bring back for a season 2..they left us hanging in the last episode
I binge watched the entire season in 3 days. I’ve been telling everyone I know how great this show is. Please don’t cancel it! I can’t wait to see what happens in season 2.
