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?
Please renew Forever!!! This show is amazing!! We love it and DVR if we can’t watch live!
Please bring back Forever. It’s a wonderful show with a terrific cast
My wife and I watch this show every week, dvr-ing it when we can’t watch it when it’s on. We enjoy the flashbacks in history and each week, we learn a little more about Henry and Abe and the life they’ve lived. It’s a very good show and deserves to be renewed for the next season. We’ve seen some bad shows survive cancellation through the years, give this one a chance.
I’m 58 yrs young and can remember Jack Klugman of Quincey M.E. That was a long lasting series. And it was pure fun to watch a great actor take on on a demanding role. Dana Delaney had her M.E. series from 2/3 years ago – a 2 year run – and that was fun to watch as well. She had a great supporting cast. And nice legs, too. But, Forever, has the “Quincey M.E.” savvy and playfulness. I want to see the romance develop between the woman cop + Henry. I think it’ll be great. It’s a bit like “Castle”.… Read more »

There are 11 members of my family – 9 adults and 2 teenagers. We all really enjoy this show. Needs to be renewed.
How many shows in TV history were not big hits their first season? Seinfeld, MASH, Cheers, etc. Somethings in life are not instant, but well worth the wait. Forever has the formula for success, and just a bit of fantasy, mystery, and romantic tension that gives it great potential. Plus, this particular version of Sherlock Holmes includes flashbacks to the past, so the writing/story can go anywhere! And Henry Morgan is much more charming than most lead characters in these kind of Sherlock shows. It seems like the writing talent has a solid foundation, so this show can endure and… Read more »
So true, Martin. In fact, if I remember correctly, ‘One Day at a Time’ was cancelled after a season (maybe two), but then brought back by the network because of fan outrage. And you know how long that show went on to last! 🙂
Please renew this series. I watch it every week and really enjoy it. Another chance please!
RENEW RENEW RENEW RENEW RENEW
Forever is the best show on ABC.
YES, YES, YES!!!!
PLEASE renew Forever!!! Definitely deserves a second season.
This is absolutely the best crime/forensic show on TV! I fell in love with it from the start! The characters have such great chemistry and the overall storyline is riveting. Please bring Henry, Jo, Abe, and the whole cast of Forever back for another incredible season!!!!
