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, PLEASE, PLEASE, bring this show back for another season. It is truly my favorite show on TV this year. It would break my heart to see it go. There is so much more story that could be told!
My husband and I are 30 and 24 and we both enjoy watching this show. Dr. Morgan is a great character and his backstory and storyline is very interesting. His character also reminds me of the TV show “Bones” main character doctor. I hate starting a new series that I really enjoy just to have them cancel it, please keep this show on ABC!
Really like the show. Especially the emotional tension between Henry and Jo. But it’s time for her to find out about Henry’s secrete and they start a good relationship (maybe even marriage). I believe there could be some great scripts around Morgan, Abe and Jo knowing “what’s going on”.
don’t cancel love this show.
They had better renew this show it is one of the few things on TV that is worth watching
I love this show and pray that it will be renewed! It’s so very interesting and Dr. Morgan’s character is great! We need more shows like this on tv, I’m sooo tired of reality shows and good shows like this and Black Box (where the characters are intelligent and interesting) get cancelled! If another good show gets cancelled, this one for instance, I QUIT watching television!
Please don’t cancel this show!!!!!! Please.
Please please don’t cancel this series!! Both my retired husband and I watch each week. We are not even in the demographic age group you are targeting!
Now that Abigail’s fate is known, and Henry can get some closure, the possibilities for this show are so wide open. Please keep this intelligent and complex show on t.v.
This is my favorite show! Please renew for another year.
Please please please renew Forever. It’s such a great show! I’m so tired of mindless reality shows. This is truly the best show on any network right now. I give up on TV if I lose this show.
Please renew the show!!!!
This is the best show on right now. It MUST be renewed. It’s such a refreshing change from everything else on.
This is such a creative show!! The cast works so well together . Dr Henry Morgan is so fascinating – who wouldn’t be intrigued?
I really hope they renew the show.. It is one of my favorite shows on right now!!!
I love Dr Morgan!!!
