ABC's new drama For Life is inspired by the life of Isaac Wright Jr., a man who was wrongfully convicted as a drug kingpin, and had his own conviction overturned. He went on to become a licenced attorney, and he's now a lawyer known for taking on the cases of the wrongly accused. However, the show won't be a by-the-book retelling of his story, instead it focuses on the character of Aaron who fights to help his fellow inmates while also seeking to have his own life sentence overturned (which Wright Jr. actually did).
Premiere date: Feb. 11
