"Just got the sad news that Life Sentence will not be coming back for a second season. I was emotionally attached to this story and to everyone involved so I’m a little shell shocked right now, but I feel fortunate that we got to tell a really beautiful story. Sometimes things don’t resonate with the audience and shows just don’t work, but I’m so proud of what we accomplished & for the experience I had. Life sentence was a show that a lot of us needed and I am beyond grateful for those who gave our show a chance. Somewhere in the universe the Abbotts will continue their dysfunctional lives & Stella will continue to be a manic pixie dream girl. That chapter is closing before I want it to, but taking this as a life lesson. Things don’t always work out in our favor & it’s up to us what we do with it. It’s been a helluva last year for me and I want to give a huge thank you to the support I’ve been shown! Love love love to all of you. We created something important and pure and no cancellation can take that away ❤️" Lucy Hale wrote.

Lucy Hale also took the time to show her appreciation for co-star Elliot Knight (Wes on Life Sentence). Life Sentence was worth filming despite the cancellation because she got a lifelong friend in Elliot Knight.

Lucy Hale shared this adorable video of herself and Elliott Knight in the car singing Vanessa Carlton's song "A Thousand Miles".
She captioned the video "To my sweet doll Elliot- I’m cry/ laughing so hard at this video because life is just way more fun with you in it. If doing Life Sentence means that I get to have you as my friend for life, then everything was worth it. Lulliot journeys forever and ever and way more carpool karaoke adventures in our future. Love you bb @itselliotknight".
Elliot Knight posted the same karaoke video and also expressed his appreciate for Lucy Hale. "and of course, to this one! Thank you for being silly with me and making me laugh every day of filming. This experience wouldnt have been half of what it was without you. Most of all, FUN. I loved getting to tell this story with you, and that through it, i get to call you my friend. You're a ⭐🙏🏾 @lucyhale x," he wrote.'

"From the first day of shooting our pilot to the last day of filming this season in January, this has been one of my favourite experiences. I will always remember going to work everyday with a smile, leaving exactly the same, loving the people I was with and having the time of my life making something special with all of them. Today we heard that we won't get to come back to tell more of our Life Sentence story - which hit us all. But I am so glad that we even got to tell chapter 1. Thank you to our tireless writers, our beautiful crew who made every day in Vancouver a dream, @thecw and @doozerproductions for this opportunity, and the brilliant @richkeith and @theerincardillo for making any of it possible. I've loved this cast; working with and watching you all over the past year has been a constant joy. I can't say I've enjoyed a job as much. And thank you to everyone who has watched and supported the show! We love you, it means the world to all of us that you're there and we hope you will stick with the Abbotts to the end of our season to see all the hard work we put in to doing this story and these characters justice. We hope you enjoy it! The rest is for you guys x @lucyhale @brookielyons @jaysonblair@therealcarlospena @nadejbailey@rileysmithofficial #GillianVigman#DylanWalsh @cw_lifesentence," he wrote.

Despite the cancellation, Lucy Hale still wants fans to watch the rest season one of Life Sentence.
"Although we weren’t renewed for a season 2...the rest of season one WILL air. So please tune in to see how it ends :) the second half of the season was always my favorite 🙏🏼" Lucy Hale tweeted.

The cancellation of Life Sentence doesn't come as much of a surprise. After initial low ratings, The CW moved Life Sentence from Wednesday nights to Friday nights. That move pretty much sealed the show's fate.
Although Life Sentence is cancelled, you can still watch season one episodes on Amazon here.
