50 Cent’s ‘For Life’ Series Cancelled
Fifty went to his social media pages to break the crushing news. After just two seasons, ABC decided to pull the plug on the true life story of Isaac Wright Jr.
“😏i’ll tell you where you can tune in to see FOR LIFE shortly. Check out my new show ( Family Affair) on ABC coming soon ! #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi”
According to reports, ABC made a last-minute decision to renew the series last year. The renewal came following publicized protests of the murder of Black man George Floyd at the hands of law enforcement in Minnesota.
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 For Life, starring Nicholas Pinnock, has done well. For Life, from creator/executive producer Hank Steinberg and executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, has proven timely with its exploration of racial inequality in the justice system. The show delivered on that by becoming one of the first scripted series to go into production during the pandemic in early fall despite its Season 2 order being originally for midseason. As a result, For Life was back on the air by November. (Deadline)

50 Cent Makes The Move To Texas
A few days ago, 50 Cent announced his relocation to Houston, Texas with a pic of himself standing in front of the Astrodome wearing a Houston Astros cap. It’s been speculated the business-minded mogul made the move in large part due to Texas’ lack of state income tax and lower cost of living compared to New York, but so far 50 hasn’t opened up about the real reason(s).
