"FBI: Most Wanted," and "For Life" Returning After Mid-Season Hiatus

We are excited to announce that two productions filmed at our soundstages are about to return with new episodes after a mid-season hiatus. Catch up on where “FBI: Most Wanted” and “For Life” left off so you’re ready to go when they return this month. Broadway Stages is proud to support the safe return of filming to New York City and, along with it, the invaluable economic support that comes into our communities. And we are honored to be the studio production company-of-choice.

On Tuesday, January 19, “FBI: Most Wanted” returns to CBS following a six-week break. The second season left off with episode three, in which Special Agent Jess LaCroix (played by Julian McMahon) and his team investigated the kidnapping of a woman who was a witness in a decades-old case. Jess is also concerned with his father’s upcoming wedding and how his return is impacting his relationship with his daughter. Episode four will also follow the team’s attempts to stop a radicalized woman with ties to an online conspiracy organization from killing again. CBS films “FBI: Most Wanted” at our studios in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

On Wednesday January 27, “For Life” returns to ABC with the sixth episode of its second season. When we last saw prisoner-turned-lawyer Aaron Wallace (played by Nicholas Pinnock), he was taking on “collars for dollars,” a corrupt practice by which police officers earn overtime pay by arresting people (typically of color) for minor crimes just as their shifts are ending. This season, Aaron is juggling his criminal defense practice while adjusting to life after prison, which means rebuilding his relationships with his ex-wife and daughter and being careful not to accidentally violate his parole. Meanwhile, his mentor Henry (played by Timothy Busfield) focuses on maintaining his sobriety while handling the stress of returning to the courtroom following his suspension and reinstatement.

“For Life” is a biographical crime drama series inspired by the life of Isaac Wright, Jr., who was wrongly convicted on drug charges and sentenced to life in prison. He studied law while behind bars and helped overturn wrongful conviction cases for his fellow inmates while fighting to overturn his own sentence.

ABC films “For Life” at the former Arthur Kill prison, located at our 69-acre campus on Staten Island.
