What’s This TV Show About?
An ABC legal drama, For the People stars Britt Robertson, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Ben Rappaport, Susannah Flood, Wesam Keesh, Regé-Jean Page, Ben Shenkman, Hope Davis, Charles Michael Davis, Vondie Curtis-Hall, and Anna Deavere Smith. The Shondaland legal drama unfolds at “The Mother Court,” i.e. the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The ABC TV series centers on six young attorneys, who work on both sides of the law. Whether they represent the defense or the people, these lawyers ply their trade, trying some of the most publicized cases, and in federal court, the stakes can be sky high.
Season Two Ratings
The second season of For the People averaged a 0.49 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.87 million viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 22% in the demo and up by 13% in viewership. Find out how For the People stacks up against other ABC TV shows.
For the People has been cancelled so there won’t be a third season. Could it be revived someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew For the People for season three? I’m surprised it came back for this season, considering that the Alphabet Network cancelled shows which outperformed it. The network needs new dramas and clearly wants to keep a connection to Shondaland with all of its Thursday night shows but, this series doesn’t seem to be working. Viewership is way up but the demo is way down. I think it will be cancelled but this one could go either way. Subscribe for free alerts on For the People cancellation or renewal news.

We only just now in 2020 started watching this series
Big shame it has been cancelled and we vote strongly for it to be renewed
Great cast, good stories and social commentary
Loved this show….BRING IT BACK,!!!!!
Law & Order was also canceled after it’s first season. Look what happened to that show.
Loved the show For the People……..hope it returns….good, clean, lawyer show!! Why dont we get to vote on these things!!!!
Very sad the show is cancelled. Unlike a lot of series you could buy into the character early in season one. By the end of season two you could get emotional about the choices they made. The caseload was interesting and could have become more political in a third season. I have seen many worse series from USA that have been renewed for more than two seasons. I hope someone else picks up the option
This is one of the smartest shows I’ve seen for a long time. It is not predictable or boring. It’s intersting with drama and comedy! Please, please reconsider!!! Bring it back!
