Last year, a renewal decision came down to the wire on legal drama "For Life", which was the last ABC to snag a pickup in June, at the height of the protests following the death of George Floyd.

There was no last-minute reprieve for the show this time, with ABC on Friday canceling it after two seasons. Sony Pictures TV, which co-produces "For Life" with ABC Signature, is expected to shop the series to other buyers. including Hulu where it has done well.

For Life star Nicholas Pinnock: Don't blame ABC for cancelation (https://tvline.com/2021/05/15/for-life-cancelled-abc-season-3-nicholas-pinnock/)

“I am in no way bitter with ABC for not renewing For Life for a third season,” the actor tweeted (https://twitter.com/nicholaspinnock/status/1393591216227377156) this morning, saying that ABC has been "nothing but supportive." He added: "Sadly, the live audience numbers didn’t reflect and equal the social media reaction. The catch up numbers were really good but that just doesn’t fit the model of a network show as they’re not a streamer. If we do manage to secure another home for FL...It’ll be up to you guys, our loyal fans, to continue to show your support for us because I can promise you this, we will continue to make a show that is beyond worthy of your time and engagement." Meanwhile, Deadline reported last night that For Life could be revived at Hulu (https://deadline.com/2021/05/seal-team-clarice-move-cbs-paramount-plus-season-5-season-2-network-sendoff-david-boreanaz-1234754114/).
