What’s This TV Show About?
An ABC docu-series from executive producers Viola Davis and Julius Tennon, The Last Defense investigates flaws in the US justice system. In its first season, the TV series takes a hard look at the death row cases of both Darlie Routier and Julius Jones. It zooms in on their paths to death row, while providing the audience with in-depth coverage of their personal stories. The series delves into those cases which were once considered open-and-shut.

The Last Defense has ended so there won’t be a second season. Could it be revived someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew The Last Defense for season two? The ratings are quite low so, even though this show is likely to produce and could be continued with a different subject, I suspect that it will be cancelled.

Status update: It’s been more than a year since ABC aired a new episode of The Last Defense so it’s assumed to have been cancelled/ended.
