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?
Would love to see the show renewed. So tired of all the nonsensical “reality” shows with no plot or talent. I enjoy hearing a story.
Like this show. A lot. Good acting, smart stories, enthralling but peaceful, and not sappy.
PLEASE don’t cancel FOREVER. Do the networks not realize that baby boomers are no longer in the 18-49 age group! We don’t want mindless junk. We want thought provoking stories with complex characters played by excellent actors. ABC has ALL of that in FOREVER. Some of us have to watch it online due to schedules or refusal to pay astronomic monopolilzed cable charges. But we WATCH IT! and look forward to the next episode (which as been rather sporadic). PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep this show. Or at least sell it to a network that appreciates audiences with brains.
Agreed.
Please, give this show second chanse, in fact Forever the best show in last 2years
Love this show!!! Please renew it!!
Love this show! the cast is excellent, and it would be sad to cancelled this series!
My husband and I both LOVE this show and will be sad to see it cancelled. PLEASE bring it back or alternately, have another network pick it up.
unique and entertaining. PLEASE renew!!!
It’s awesome! Please keep it running. Best show after Mentalist.
It’s awesome! More of it, please!
I really find it VERY hard to believe that Forever has such low numbers. VERY HARD! It is a fantastic show, and I probably will switch to another network if it is cancelled. I refuse to watch something else, because this is not the first time you have put an excellent show in a rotten time slot. Not everyone likes those moronic comedies.
It is a clever show with intriguing characters. I woud be sad to see it canceled.
Forever is the best show I’ve seen in a God’s age. This show needs to continue. It totally has a future.
I love Forever! Great show without disgusting language, rated R sex scenes, etc. The premise is a new one – none of the repetitive and often boring premises of other shows, and I agree with AMD concerning no vampires, zombies, etc. Keep this show!! Do not cancel it please!
Love this show. Excellent cast doing an excellent job creating a unique atmospheric fantasy that does not include vampires, zombies, etc…..
Also agree with Cheyl S .
Love the show forever with its history added to plot
