Canceled!? Big Budget TV Shows On The Chopping Block

27. For Life

Network: ABC
Status: Canceled After Two Seasons

In collaboration with Sony Pictures Television, Doug Robinson Productions, and G-Unit Film & Television, ABC began developing a pilot “For Life” in 2018, which was written by one of the show’s executive producers, Hank Steinberg. The pilot was received well, and, in the spring of 2019, it was ordered to series.

It took two seasons to figure it out, but, apparently, “For Life” isn’t what ABC has in mind for its viewers going forward, and the series has been dropped by the network. Similar to Isaac Wright Jr., the man whom the series is based on, don’t expect this show to go down without a fight, as its creators’ plan is to shop around and find a new home.
