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 don’t cancel the show! This has many more stories to tell!
Please renew! We enjoy Forever. It’s refreshingly different and the twist in the season finale was excellent.
I enjoy Forever! It’s a great show with great actors, i see shows that have 4 seasons and have worse actors and should have ended after season 1. Every episode was an enjoyment to watch! Give it indeed a change and a second season!
I love FOREVER and am in total support of it being renewed!!!
Now that mentalist has been cancelled , Forever is in my top 3.
Save it. There’s a lot of garbage on the networks and this show has spirit.
My husband and I enjoy “Forever” every week that it is aired. It has a little comedy, a little drama, a little period piece……a little of everything. The main characters are great and have grown with the show. Please…..Please renew it for another season. Maybe you should change the viewing time to encourage more to watch on a regular basis.
Please renew this show. Great interpersonal chemistry–love Ioan, Alana, Judd, & the coroner’s assistant, whose name I don’t know, but I was very happy to see him on this show (used to enjoy him on “Bones”–good actor). Now that Dr. Morgan is (or so it seems) going to share his secret with Alana, there’s no end of interesting episodes to look forward to, as well as continuing with the previous themes. I’ve been impressed by Ioan Gruffudd for years–since his Horatio Hornblower days. It’s a delightful show with interesting storylines and one of the better ensemble casts on TV. RENEW!… Read more »
Great show and cast! Please renew!!!
Forever should be renewed…it is a great show. We watch it every week and record it when we can’t watch it. We don’t want to miss one show. Bring it back, please!
Although my hubby and I are in the over 60 age group and not part of the demographic of viewers that gets polled to rate TV shows, we love this show and all the actors. We are looking forward to a second (and more) seasons of Forever. It’s shows like this one that we look forward to each week. The writing of the material of each episode is intelligent; congrats to your writer(s) and the entire cast on a great series.
One of the best shows on TV. Please don’t cancel it!
A wonderful program. I will be very disappointed if it is cancelled! It sometimes takes viewers until the second season to “discover” a show. With the choices available each evening, it takes time for everyone who is a potential fan to find a gem like this.
Best show of the year. Please bring it back.
“Forever” is the “Quincey M.E.” of 2015/2016. Serious,fun,charming and much more.
Judd Hirsch is a quality actor,Lorraine Toussiant is a strong lead, Ioan Gruffudd has those smooth charming good looks and Alana, well, she’s just as steamy as “Kate Beckett” of “Castle”. This series needs to progress. All the characters have so much to give.
I hope this series can last like “Castle”.
