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.

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 love this show! I find myself looking past other shows and going directly to this one to see the latest tale it has to tell. This show is unique in the genre of crime solving dramas with its intriguing plot twist of two immortal characters involved in their own underlying plot line while often intertwining elements of the past 200 years of Henry’s life into the current cases being investigated in the present. The bittersweet ongoing elements of Henry’s true love of the past and the complications it endured dealing with the secret of Henry’s immortality give depth to… Read more »
Definitely renew. Show’s brilliant! Cast is awesome, premise is awesome. there’s just so much potential for it….I hope it stays on for a few more seasons….
I love the concept and the actors. Hope they renew. Very different from other story lines on tv. Now that the movie, Age of Adaline is being promoted, maybe Forever will get more notice. I think actors should go on shows like Live with Kelly and Michael to gain some attention.

I love Forever – it is a great show and I hope it will be renewed for another season –
Our family accidentally discovered this intriguing show part-way through the season. We have yet to binge watch the first episodes, but will. This show is Way better than Monk was and should be promoted.
Bring it back for a second season and promote it!
Renew
This is one of best shows on television! I love everything about this show. PLEASE don’t cancel!!!!!!!!!! ” Forever faithful!”
I absolutely loved this show! It would really be a shame if it was cancelled
I love this show, it would be a shame if it was cancelled.
I thoroughly enjoy this show and sincerely hope it is not cancelled. I agree with many of the previous comments stating this is far too good a show and cast to be thrown away!
It took me a while, but I really like this show…..same as Star Trek……
My husband and I absolutely love this show and would really hate it if ABC cancelled it. The cast is marvelous, the stories are intriguing and the chemistry between the lead characters is electric. I know ABC is always looking for their dream demographic of 18 to 49 year olds, however, there are people outside this age group that watch tv also. Let’s stop cancelling shows right and left and give them time to find their audience.
I think Forever should be renewed. We absolutely love this show in my house. It has several complexities throughout plotting, relations, characters, story line, etc. It’s smart, witty, sexy, emotional and keeps you on the edge (emotionally/physically) at all moments which contribute to it being an altogether a truly intelligible show. I love the back stories you find out about each character, so you feel for them all, plus they FULLY develop all their characters as the show progresses… I can’t think of any show other than Game of Thrones that does this in such incredible detail with EVERY CHARACTER.… Read more »
I love this show. I gave up a lot of shows this season due to the same ole shallow story lines and mediocre acting. This show is great… really allows you to escape.
