ABC has canceled 'The Baker and the Beauty' after one season
Inspired by the life of Isaac Wright Jr., “For Life” is a fictional serialized drama about an imprisoned man, Aaron Wallace , who becomes a lawyer litigating cases for other inmates while fighting to overturn his own life sentence for a crime he didn’t commit.
In addition to Pinnock, the series stars Indira Varma as Safiya Masry, Joy Bryant as Marie Wallace, Mary Stuart Masterson as Anya Harrison, Boris McGiver as DA Maskins, Dorian Missick as Jamal Bishop, Tyla Harris as Jasmine Wallace and Timothy Busfield as Henry Roswell.Steinberg created the series and serves as executive producer.
The series seems even more timely of late, given that the United States has seen massive protests in recent weeks after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Floyd died after officer Derek Chauvin placed his knee on Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes during an attempted arrest. Floyd’s death has renewed calls to eliminate police brutality and indeed overall America’s entire criminal justice system.“The incident itself was surprising,” he said of Floyd’s death.
