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 really enjoy this show. Really want to see a season 2!
Please do not cancel this show. It is wonderful. Of course I am not of the proper demographic since I am 63. There are a lot of us baby boomers who watch TV as well (and purchase things).
Please DO NOT cancel this show!! My entire family and I love it!! It’s one of the best shows out there!!
Please don’t cancle this show, the writing and the cast are brilliant, the smartest TV show I have been watching since House MD (yes, even including Elementary). It’s exciting, it’s sad and funny, it’s been picked up for German TV, even. No idea why the ratings are this low but hey, House had awful ratings at first, too. Maybe it needs a fancy lead to get more people hooked up.
Please renew!!! Love this show!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this show! Please do not cancel it! It offers great dramatic acting with a sprinkle of dry humor. I look forward to it every Tuesday evening. KUDOS to the cast and all involved in the production of this show!
Please don’t cancel Forever. It is one of the best shows that has been on TV for a very long time.
Love this show. Pls don’t cancel. The actors are great. Look forward to each episode!
please renew it is a great show absolutely love the shows that show relevant history. They make both me and my children look up the real details.
Please renew, this is a great show…shows are well-written and intelligent. I am not even in the “demographic” group– I’m 56 and know lots of folks in my age range who love this show. Please keep. I am tired of “stupid” shows. I like shows with some “depth” and this one will leave you thinking…
I love the show and hope it will be renewed
The marketing needs to be better. I love this show. Don’t cancel it! It’s so easy to get hooked on this show. The writing and acting is great! Don’t give up on it yet!
I think this is a great show and should be renewed! I am so sick of seeing excellent shows getting cancelled after 1-2 seasons (Black Box, Dracula, Witches of East End… Just to name a couple I’m devastated about) I fall into the category of 18-49 as do many of my friends and family members. We all love this show and hope it stays on air, although it wouldn’t surprise me if it got cancelled, seems as though so many wonderful shows get cancelled based on ratings but I really wonder how accurate it could be because when the above… Read more »
This show should be saved, it could be so popular if it were just marketed properly. Most people who view it once are hooked! It needs more exposure plus the correct exposure. It has the potential as is to be one of the most popular series.
Don’t cancel this show! Please renew. I watched the first episode on the plane from Italy to Texas and I was hooked. This show just needs more exposure to the younger crowd, I am 24 and have gotten a lot of my friends to watch the show. Renew!
Thank you, Juan, for promoting this show to your younger friends. Your demographic (age 18-49) is being blamed by ABC and the sponsors as being the cause of low ratings for the show. You need to shout, LOUDLY AND CLEARLY, that you DO appreciate this series and want it to get a second season. Again, thanks for your support.
