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?
Love this show!
Love Forever and its great cast. Please don’t cancel this innovative show!
Forever is great. I look forward to the show every week. Please keep it going… forever!
We are loving “Forever” and very hopeful it will be renewed! Great cast!
I know why no TV show lasts ….they keep skipping weeks in-between episodes & that drives me crazy. No wonder the ratings aren’t very good. People get sick of waiting and stop watching. That’s not me …but, I can understand. So- ABC- stop it and stick with Forever because its a great show!!!!
The reason ratings take a nosedive is because the networks announce that the show is most likely being cancelled so viewers stop watching! We don’t want to get even more invested in yet another story that will never be resolved. What idiots.
I love Forever! Please renew for more seasons.
I love this show and the actors/ actress in this program. Its on a perfect night and time slot. I hope its not cancelled. I really enjoy it. I would be sad to see it go. They really need to give grew shows more time before they give up on them. Keep it on for another season or even two or three hey I like it that much!!
Please renew; this show is absolutely awesome. It is well written, well acted, well directed and I look forward to viewing it each week. JG
Just like the old show “Awake” wasn’t renewed, neither will “Forever.” Why? Because these shows are genius, and made for those who are cerebral. It’s not instantaneous gratification, no scene after scene of action shots. This is a true Columbo-esque mystery series. I hope I am wrong, I love this show, and like another opine here, I too have watched episodes over and over. As a retired NYPD cop that loathed the ME office in Manhattan (mainly because of the smell), I’d rather watch what I always wanted an ME to be, compared to what an ME really does. Nevertheless-… Read more »
Thank you, Craig Brock, for your great comment. We’re all holding our collective breath that ABC will have the wisdom to hang on tightly to this wonderful series. “FOREVER” is the breath of fresh air that could break the lengthy losing streak of that difficult time slot. What would be even greater would be for ABC to do some switching around and place “FOREVER” where it would be more visible and able to ‘grow’ its ‘already large’ following. I, too, watch the episodes over and over. FINALLY, they’ve started having Ioan Gruffudd appear on the daytime talk shows. I’m wondering… Read more »
