The Tuesdays at 10pm timeslot has been a big ratings problem for ABC for quite awhile. Show after show has been cancelled. Will their new Forever series change that trend? Will it be renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
On the Forever TV show, New York City’s star medical examiner is Doctor Henry Morgan (Ioan Gruffudd). He can ascertain things that most can not because of his vast experience — he’s been alive for 200 years but can’t figure out how or why. The rest of the cast includes Alana de la Garza, Lorraine Toussaint, Donnie Keshawarz, Joel David Moore, and Judd Hirsch.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/8 update: ABC has cancelled Forever after one season. Details here.
Final season averages: 1.12 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.93 million total viewers.

Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.
Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Forever TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I love this show so much, but Tuesdays are just really busy for me because I would like to watch Person of Interest, and before that is Supernatural…
I hope ABC renews it, I really enjoy the show as it’s smart with good acting and a refreshing alternative to all the reality TV shows
One of the best shows on tv, keep it on.
Renew! It has so much potential but I think the day and time is just bad for competition. I think if it got a second season the ratings would pick up.
I LOVE this show FOREVER!!!!! PLEASE RENEW!!!!! I love Henry. <3 He's soooo gorgeous and that sexy accent….is to die for!!! Ioan Gruffudd is fantastic!!! and the rest of the cast is great too!!! Did I mention we all love this show at my house and LOVE Ioan?! :):) Please give FOREVER a chance at a second season! Thank you. xo
Please renew……………….ratings would be even higher if it was not on at same time as Person of Interest.
Really enjoying this show. An original spin on a crime solving detective type program.
Love the flash backs of Henry’s life. If only the network will give it a chance, always liked,
Ioan Gruffud.
So well written. What a great show. I think word of mouth will eventually bring the ratings up. It’s too well done. Fantastic actors with great chemistry.
Fascinating show. Everyone I know looks forward to this amazing departure from the usual stupid network lineup. Finally, an intelligent, clever show with the perfect star, Ioan. PLEASE renew for another season.
I really enjoy this show. I hope they renew. The stories and characters are interesting.
My wife and I really enjoy this show and hope it is renewed. Too many brainless and tasteless sitcoms for our tastes. We can only hope this good show gets another season.
Please renew. Great show.
There is no way to truly tell how many people are actually watching a show. All I hear from everybody is; “I really love that new show Forever.” It’s not our fault that ABC stuck it in a lousy time slot, so why do we have to suffer and lose one of the exemplary tv shows on the air. I really enjoy itit and I love Ioan Gruffud. Give us a break and leave it alone.
I really enjoy this show every week. Very well written with excellent actors, it is truly a delight to watch. Television would be a much less vibrant environment without “Forever.” I really hope it makes it to season two!
We really love this show! Please renew
