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.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
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.

My favorite show just got canceled – Netflix going forward- I give up! Every show I’ve enjoyed for the past two years on ABC and NBC is no more. Because of my job I have to catch up with all my shows on demand, hulu or on my son’s gaming console or tablet. My son is in grad school and loves Forever as well. Like myself, he never has time to watch the shows the same night they air. I think Nielson needs to realize it is the 21st century and people aren’t going to tune into T.V. like they… Read more »
I agree! Nielsen was great until the invention of VCR, up to DVR. PLEASE if you are going to cancel anything cancel Nielsen ratings. It is in the past. If there was a tool like Nielsen, for taping, you would see what a HUGE mistake you are making in canceling Forever along with other great shows. Please Networks bring back Forever I personally don’t care what network takes it, I will watch it! Thank you
Very upset this show has been cancelled. It was interesting, historical, witty and clever. No sex and minimal violence…..I guess that is why.
Wish the public had more of a say as a lot of people don’t even know how good a series is until the 3rd season when finally the word of mouth has gotten around..
so sad
Agree 100%
I love forever show, hope it can come back later sometime.
The networks don’t give new shows much of a chance. This was a great show. Nielsen ratings are no longer relevant. Due to recording ease, viewers like to tape the shows and then binge watch. It is getting so it doesn’t pay to start watching new network series at all.
Forever is the best show on TV
I can not believe my favorite show is cancelled! Keep Forever! I am 63 years old and all our friends watch this fabulous show! Bring it back!
Please do not cancel this great show.
I am ready to say goodby to my scripted series TV watching after finding this wonderful show is cancelled. This was such a delightful show with great actors and full of promise for story line development. Why would I invest my time in a series on ABC ever again? Good question. It will actually be FOREVER before I do.
Listen to ur fans: RENEW FOREVER OR ANOTHER NETWORK PLEASE PICK IT UP!!!!! We are all tired of the same old same old TV!!! ABC has one another show I like that is Castle. On other networks The Voice and Danding With The Stars. The rest of the TV we watch is on cable. I hope someone takes the fans seriously!!!!!
I LOVED FOREVER!!! DON’T CANCEL IT!!! I looked at the ratings, it got higher one’s than Agents of SHIELD and that’s been renewed for another season. Why can’t you keep FOREVER on?????????? You always get rid of the good shows, like Forever and Cristella, but keep the stupid reality shows. What a big let down. I’d like to fill out a Nielsen Ratings card. BRING BACK FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please continue it! Forever is a very gread storry… I`m an german and I love it so much but I can´t watch it in the original TV so I`m not included in the viewers and quotas and I´m sure there are many more other people like me, they can not watch it in the TV but love it so much too.
Henry will live forever so there must be at least a second season!
I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU CANCELLED FOREVER!!!!!!! Forever was a GREAT show,and all the STARS in it were SUPERB!!!!! Great writers for the story line,Why in the world would you CANCEL such a Favorite show,not to mention to leave the story the way you did,it’s so UNFAIR to the Fans!!!!! There are so many show that you are renewing aren’t worth even watching,and I DON’T,I looked forward to watching FOREVER every week,and now you decide to cancel it???? It’s absolutely rediculous !!!!!!!! What are you people thinking??? Apparently your sitting on your common sense,BRING BACK FOREVER!!!!! VERY DISAPOINTED AT THE… Read more »
Forever is a great show so why cancel something that’s good ????????????
You need to be really stupid to cancel such a great show! Believe me if ABC and NBC keep doing this not giving good shows the chance to pick up rating they will end up with no rating no matter what new series they come up with. It is important to know what the public want and give them what they as the viewers want, and not what you want. What you guys don’t understand is that when you keep killing series you are killing your viewers too because they already know whats gonna happen with every other new series… Read more »
