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?
Don’t leave us hanging ! To many questions left unanswered about Henry”s past and his future Quantum leap got 5 years and he was a sympathetic star like Henry. I also know a lot of people who watch this show How do they judge who”s really watching ?
We love this show. Tuesday is our abc day with Shield at 9 then Forever immediately after. It has great writing and acting and it deserves more than one season.
I absolutely love the show “Forever” :-)! The storyline is unique and every episode keeps me entertained and wanting more ! I hope they renew this show for numerous more seasons to go . Please don’t cancel FOREVER !!! Me and my Mom love it. Mosts times we DVR it so we can fast forward through the commercials ,lol. So Yes, we both want FOREVER to be renewed for a season 2 .
There is an online petition going around to save the show. Don’t know if this will make a difference, but it can’t hurt!

I have no doubt that if ABC are stupid enough to cancel the show another sensible network will pick up this little hidden gem. I say hidden because ABC have done nothing really to promote it. ABC do the right thing see the potential here nourish it care for it let it grow
My husband and I really love watching this show; its creative, intriguing and has wonderful character development! Why on Earth would you not keep this series going? It can compete with the best shows currently on TV!
Absolutely brilliant show. I have enjoyed every episode. I hope this gets renewed. The cast is excellent.
Renew forever. It is a good show. Brilliant, I watch it on CTV. Vancouver Canada.
One of the only shows beside blue bloods, we actually stay home and watch.
Save “Forever”
More please. The Forever series weaves past and present events, experiences, and characters in a compelling way. When the episode is done I’m often left musing on the dilemma of living forever in a way vampire themes cannot satisfy.
please , please don’t cancel Forever!!!!!!!! i love this show
Great writers, excellent actors and an intriguing premise. My wife and I really enjoy this show. Because of its high concept, it might be “too hip for the room.” The previous show about immortality, New Amsterdam (Fox) didn’t last a whole season. However it was caught in the last writer’s strike so it’s difficult to ascertain the exact cause of its demise. ABC isn’t doing a lot to promote Forever. It seems to have fewer promos than other shows on ABC. This might be because the network doesn’t own the show and therefore doesn’t make as much money as it… Read more »
Yes, I agree with all your points. Forever is far surerior to thre usual network fare. It’s amazing and captivating: a gem that deserves a chance to develop the many potential storylines. I don’t care what it costs; I’d pay anything to see more of Forever. I’ve never found a show that means this much to me.
One of the most interesting, complicated shows on TV without extreme violence. Love it and do not want it cancelled.
I really like this show, I think it’s should stay
This is one of the most creative shows on television. It’s smart, witty and intriguing. The cast and the acting is superior, writing is magnificent and a new twist on Sherlock Holmes.
Please don’t cancel it!
