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, and will be greatly disappointed if it’s not renewed. I love the cop-Sherlock Holmes-esque theme. SO much better than the mindless shows that seem to have saturated the major networks for the past. ABS, please keep this show, and more quality shows like it.
I think it should be renewed!! This is the best show ever and it’s amazing because there is no other show like this!! This is the only show that makes me excited to watch!
Wife and I both love it. Best parts of a police procedural and great fantasy series like Highlander.
I really like this show and have enjoyed watching it every week… I really hope ABC renews it for another year.
I certainly hope that “Forever” makes it to a second season.
I certainly hope that “Forever” makes it to a second season. If it is not doing well in its time slot, then maybe the program should be put in a more favorable one. I like the way we see him in his various reincarnations, the lives which shaped the person he has become. This may be a crime show, but with an interesting twist.
Please, please, please don’t cancel this show. It awesome and our whole family loves it!
Great….must keep
If it does get cancel hopefully they end it with a resolution to the big mystery
PLEASE do not cancel Forever! It is a quality show that my whole family enjoys.
Great show, crime drama with a twist. Please god let it be brought back! Like Lazarus from tye dead!!! 😉
I love this show! The cast is perfect and it is little different than other crime shows. Its funny, interesting, adorable and it has twists. Please don’t cancel it and give us another season!
We love forever and hope it comes back
Please don’t cancel a great show.
I absolutely LOVE this show. It has a nice twist, with him being unable to be killed permanently. I like watching crime cases solved and it is nice to have the hint of romance, without a lot of time devoted to that element, to sidetrack it as a crime show – not a soap opera. And yes we ALL know that crimes don’t get solved as fast as any TV show does it. But it is TV entertainment, not true crime.
