The highly anticipated CW series Life Sentence, starring Lucy Hale, is moving to Vancouver this summer, even though the pilot was filmed in Atlanta, one of the United State’s most popular filming locations at the moment.
It’s not a big surprise to see the series move since The CW seems to love Vancouver. Arrow, Supergirl, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Riverdale, and Supernatural are all filmed in Vancouver, too.

Life Sentence stars Lucy Hale as a young woman, Stella, who is dying of cancer, but then learns she isn’t going to die after all. The news means she has to learn how to live with the choices she made when she was “living like she was dying,” including marrying a complete stranger. It also means she sees her family’s problems for the first time, after they finally stop pretending everything is OK to protect her and, for the first time, she sees the full impact her illness has had on those closest to her.
Some are comparing the series to NBC’s hit This Is Us, speculating The CW is hoping Life Sentence will become its own must see (tear-jerking) TV.
The series also stars Dylan Walsh as Stella’s father, Gillian Vigman as her mother, Elliot Knight as her husband, Jayson Blair as her brother, Brooke Lyons as her sister and Carlos PenaVega as her brother-in-law. The pilot was written by Significant Mother creators Erin Cardillo and Richard Keith and directed by Lee Toland Krieger.
For Hale, the series is her first TV project after Pretty Little Liars, which will air its final episodes this summer on Freeform.
Life Sentence will begin filming in Vancouver in July.
