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?
We love this show. As do a lot of others. A well-written show, dialogues, plot lines, acting all deserve a chance for more seasons. Please ABC renew Forever.
Who participates in the Nielsen ratings? My favorite shows are often canceled. Mature viewers would like to have quality programs too. Maybe Netflix will pick up Forever like they did with Longmire from A&E another great show. I would vote for that.
I love this show, one of my favourites and no it SHOULD NOT BE CANCELLED. One of the best on tv this past season.
With all the garbage on a gazillion channels, it was nice to see a love story with a mental edge to it. Alas we are in the minority. We have minds and desire to watch shows that are not geared toward the ten year old. Maybe another network will pick it up.
PLEASE don’t cancel the show Forever, it’s one of the best shows on TV. So many are so disappointed to hear of the cancellation. The cast is great, the content is so wholesome and intelligently written. I’m hoping you will change the notice of cancellation.
I can certainly understand why you have low or bad ratings,it’s because of this simple fact When you do get a Great Show like FOREVER you don’t even give it a chance,One Season? REALLY?? It would be absolutely wonderful if you could let FOREVER come back, There are alot of FANS that LOVE this show,can’t you see that with all theses posts? There is so much left undone on the show,and to leave it that way, and to let it go is wrong. Do you really think that’s fair for all FOREVERs DEVOTED FANS? WAKE UP ABC !!!!!!!! I’m So… Read more »
We are very upset about this. A group of people I work with are mad and very sad that this was canceled. This was a great show with great actors and the chemistry between the people on this show was so awesome. It was very enjoyable. You should be ashamed of yourselves
I love forever, the theme is intriguing and full of energy. My wife and I are on our toes with each forever episode. I would love to see a season 2.
Awesome show! Has a new twist with a lot of heart. Hate to see it cancelled
forever has been cancelled by abc
This is a highly intelligent, well thought out and acted series that is sure to gain momentum if given the proper promo boost. Where are the late night appearances of the actors on the tonight show with Jimmy Fallon or The Conan Obrian Show where attention can be brought to this masterpiece? Are your ratings taken into account those viewers who watch this on demand?? That’s how I watch it. I absolutely love this show! It’s brilliant in its story line and its plot twists. I sincerely hope that you will reconsider keeping this mesmerizing tale in production and give… Read more »
We like the show a lot. Would like to see it renewed.
Australia has only JUST got Netflix and now my friends and family have discovered this series and want to watch it…or do we ‘overseas munchkins’ not even remotely count. When all we Aussies have to choose from are overdone soap opera dramas and reality shows, the NEED for US variety is extreme. I was sent to this page to log my discontent at this show being cancelled, especially as the trend of viewers watching was rising. Please PLEASE help it find a new network to run from, you will get even more people watching it, especially if it wasn’t set… Read more »
I love this show! It is my favorite new show this year. I thought for sure it would continue. It should not be cancelled.
Ratings!!?? Please, network cares about ratings but not the people that actually watch the shows. ABC has problems? Well guess what, so does everyone else. But you know how we get by, come home and know that there’s something on television that we can unwind with. There are so many options instead of cancelling. Another network or Forever tv movie(s). Hallmark does them all the time! ABC left a very – very large amount of fans hanging. I didn’t even know the show was going to be cancelled. I was eager because I knew the show would be back.
