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?
This series is one of the few that talks about death. I would be happy if it continues.
We are really , really, really disappointed that she show Forever was cancelled. This show was awesome and refreshing, there was no other show like this on tv . The show had a good plot, amazing actors and characters and we looked forward to this show every week and the upcoming season 2. It is a true disappointment cancelling the show and why should we get attached to theses shows the network just cancels ? Very disappointed and I encourage the network to bring back the show and give another chance…a lot of viewers will be disappointed.

Even the original Star Trek got cancelled and then it came back!
Please have season 2.. I was so looking forward to it. . that I just found out that you are not having season 2 by looking it up online to find an air time and its canceled…. i only watch this and maybe one other show during the week, so disappointed
I really enjoyed the show Forever. It was out of the norm which made it alwsys interesting to watch. So little on television is inovative these days. Most shows are so predictable and BORING! I hope the network decides to have a season two!
words fail me,we pay wot we pay tv, sky wot ever, and when a program as good as this touches our
Lives, its just disarded like no one cares,best show iv watched in a very long time.
What a shame to cancel this excellent TV series. It was such an original well-rounded, entertaining, educating show, with a well-structured storyline, a terrific cast of wonderful actors who conveyed the great relationships of the characters they played. In my opinion, ABC, or any other channel or network should develop some kind of continuation for it or, at least make a movie to give it a fitting end and regale us fans and lovers of the show the closure we were almost robbed of. C’mon, don’t be so cruel. Give us at least that. Please, keep us in mind.
This is a terrible loss. One of the few shows I was hoping to see more of. Please reconsider another season of ” Forever”.
As usual they provide a good show for adults. Then they cancel it. The shows they leave on r junk and they should be destroyed
We really, really loved this show. You should have given it another season and a different time slot. It had a very interesting storyline and fantastic cast. We really hope you might reconsider its cancellation.
We are extremely disappointed that “Forever” was cancelled. The series was one of our favorites. Great story, writing, acting and premise.
I have been waiting for the show FOREVER to come back on. I like the Englishman he’s very intelligent ,a lot of history and a medical forensics that solves crime while trying to solve his on mystery.Fantastic cast.great story.You just can’t leave it hanging without a season 2 its a fantastic show please don’t cancel it…..(Its a very entertaining show)
It is a really forever big ashamed mistake from ABC!
I thought the series was very well acted and researched. The concept was original and the series developed the relationship with the characters excellently. I came online to find out when the next series is coming out, and was very disappointed to learn it had been discontinued. I wonder whether ratings were poor in USA for a similar reason to England. Here the series was on Sky 1 TV at 9am every day. I found it quite by chance, and everyone I told had never heard of it. There was no advertising for it or previews prior to watching it,… Read more »
It was originally on in the evening when first aired….the morning showing was a re-run.
I knew it. ABV are the biggest trolls out there. They hook you up with good show and then cancel it…
I can’t believe “Forever” was cancelled! It was one of my favorite shows! This was such an original and entertaining show with great characters and story lines. Another dumb decision by ABC!
