On May 9, 2019, ABC canceled the series after two seasons.
Set in the Southern District of New York (SDNY) Federal Court, known as "The Mother Court", For the People follows new lawyers—both prosecutors and federal public defenders—as they handle the most high-profile and high-stakes cases and their personal lives intersect.
Britne Oldford and Lyndon Smith were cast in the pilot as Sandra Black and Allison Anderson, respectively. Both roles were later recast with Britt Robertson as Black (renamed Sandra Bell) and Jasmin Savoy Brown as Anderson (renamed Allison Adams). After re-shooting the pilot and shooting the second episode with the new actresses, production was temporarily shut down in September 2017 in order to rewrite existing scripts for the rest of the season to adjust the show to Robertson and Brown's new dynamic. Filming for the second season began on September 23, 2018.
