Doctor Henry Morgan may be immortal but his TV show isn’t. ABC has cancelled the Forever TV series after one season of 22 episodes.
On the Forever TV show, New York City’s star medical examiner (Ioan Gruffudd) can ascertain things that most can not because of his vast experience — he’s been alive for 200 years but can’t figure out the how or the why. The rest of the cast includes Alana de la Garza, Lorraine Toussaint, Donnie Keshawarz, Joel David Moore, and Judd Hirsch.
The series debuted last September to a 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 8.26 million viewers. The ratings grew for episode two but they started falling after that.
Though the Forever series had some very passionate fans, that devotion didn’t translate into positive ratings. The numbers were pretty poor for much of the season and the show ended up averaging a 1.12 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.93 million viewers.
As a result, ABC has decided against ordering a second season of Forever. The last episode aired earlier this week and unfortunately left viewers with lots of unanswered questions.
What do you think? Did you like the Forever TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season? Why do you think it didn’t catch on with a larger audience?
I went looking for the program Forever and discovered it was cancelled because of low ratings.
I am very disappointed.
I am very upset I just found out forever has been cancelled and I have been desperately waiting on the new season there should totally be rethinking this try it another season this really sucks
I loved this show , can’t believe they cancelled it
Hey, it’s Tuesday, “Forever” night in L.A………..oh, wait. NOT ANYMORE!!! Booooooo……
Very disappointing. A great quality show. Keep the Goldbergs & cancel Forever? Shame on ABC.
I totally agree like renewing American crime the only reason people kept watching it was to see if it was ever going to make any sense and it never did season two is gonna fall in sure
i now, every channel there cancelling good shows & the 1 that sucks is still on going…..
It was exciting and good joyed sharing with family and friends Bring itBack
Yes, about that target group — nobody asked ME if Forever should be canceled!
It NEEDS to come back! I loved it!
Yes very disappointed on Forever being cancelled!! Great show, great acting. Once upon a time is coming back on as far as I know. But that could change, they don’t care what the majority wants, just the select target group
forever was a great show, the only trouble was channel 9 here in Australia had it on at 10.30pm at night in Brisbane Queensland .. when the channel does not something , out here , just move it to a new time slot, when no one wants to stay up ,8.30 pm to 10.30pm
they just did not want it
My husband & I faithfully watched this show and thought it was excellent. Something different from the usual fare you get on TV. Too bad
I really really enjoyed forever! Great characters, good storyline, there is nothing else as good to watch. I am so disappointed, how could you cancel it. Please bring it back for another
season. TV is in a very sad state not much is good anymore. Except Forever!!!!!
Please bring this show back. It’s excellent, it’s so good to have an intelligent, witty, interesting show to look forward to. BRING IT BACK!!!!
I am slightly disappointed I’ve really enjoyed the series and was waiting to watch the the second season. I’m also disappointed that this has happened to me twice, I’ve started to watch series on this programme ‘once a upon a time ‘ and the show has stopped the second season. I do hope this doesn’t happen again
I’m not sure if you’re referring to Once Upon A Time ending after its second season or Forever, but Once Upon A Time is starting its 5th season this Fall. Season 4 was just released for viewing on Netflix.
I was just out looing to see when Forever was going to be back on and what was up for season two. Very disappointed to hear it is going to be off the air. It was fast replacing Castle as my favorite TV show as I only set down and watch two shows a week I think ABC missed the mark on this one. I was one of those that if I missed a episode I would hop on HULU and catch up as quick as I could. So many ways season two could have gone. O well I have… Read more »
