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.

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?
My daughter and I love Forever—-please renew!!! Stories are great and acting first rate!! Just need time to build viewership.
Please renew the show, it is one of my favorites.
please renew!
Love this show, and so does my husband. My mother does as well. Would hate to see it canceled.
One of the best shows on television. Our family of 40 watches it weekly, though some must dvr it. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW!!!!!
Forever is a great show, in fact it is a brilliant show with an amazing cast and plots. It always surprises me and amuses me and brightens my spirit and gets me into a good mood. It is a show. I wait all week with an excitement to see a new show. This show is that kind of a show that definitely deserves a shot at a second season, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE give it another shot and RENEW FOREVER!
With concern
A huge fan from Iceland
On the one hand, I like the core concept of the show as well as the performances of most of the actors. On the other hand, I feel no connection to the lieutenant character (her acting is wooden and dull) and I find the sub-plot of the other immortal stalker to be both annoying and absurd (e.g. how he knows all these details about Henry including precisely how he first died, even though it’s indicated in the show that Henry had never discussed the event with anyone). In short, if the writers intend to continue with this ridiculous sub-plot, I… Read more »
Please please please renew this show. I just love it and so does my whole family!
Please renew! We have several friends who watch it every week also. This and Scorpion are our favorite shows and we don’t want to miss an episode. I can’t believe Forever is being considered to cancel!
PLEASE renew! Honestly abc, the first good show comes on and you throw it away without giving it a chance! So many crap shows renewed….THIS ACTUALLY DESERVES A RENEW.
Please renew “Forever” for another season. My husband & I look forward to watching it together as it is one of the few we both enjoy. I was shocked to read that Forever might not be returned when there are so many foolish shows renewed. I know that type appeals to the younger generation but our generations needs to be given shows with more depth.

Love the show. I hope it’s renewed!!!
Worthless pile of ****. Hundred of show where main actor assists police to find criminal. Though the basis premises of show of immortal beings was very interesting, the story doesn’t seems to move in that particular arc. Actors doesn’t inspire but main culprits are writers who are more interesting in turning it into a detective show rather than never attempted paranormal show involving immortal being and magical stuff.
Renew please, love the show
