Sony Pictures Television and ABC Studios suspended production of For Life on Friday because of inconsistent COVID-19 test results.
According to multiple reports, multiple members of the production staff tested positive for COVID-19 and then received negative results following subsequent tests. At this time, it is unclear how many members of the production crew tested positive for the virus.

Neither Sony Pictures Television or ABC Studios have stated when the series will begin production again. More details will be reported as this story develops.
