For Life Season 2 Plot
The first series was based on the story of Isaac Wright Jr. He was wrongfully convicted on drug charges in 1991. For Life follows the story of Aaron Wallace (played by Nicholas Pinnock), who becomes a lawyer behind bars, litigating cases for other inmates while fighting to overturn his own life sentence for a crime he did not commit. Season one of For Life came to an end on a huge cliffhanger, with Aaron being given the chance at a re-trial.
The series shines a light on the challenges and flaws of the American legal and criminal justice system. There will be “some adjustments” to the concept of the second series. Unfortunately, no further details about season two are available.
