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 am so disappointed that ABC cancelled the show. I had recorded the first season so that I could watch it over and over when all that is on now is stupid, idiotic shows. Please bring it back!!!
My favorite show. Very sorry to see it go. Nothing more to add to other comments except that many shows considered classics today didn’t catch on until the 2nd season. How about another chance?
LOVED this show… can’t believe it was canceled! Loved the flash backs and interesting characters…Too sad that ABC didn’t continue with this great series. 🙁
Forever Fans there is a petition our there. When I signed it was at 10,000; now over 100,000. We are not giving up. Hoping another network or Netflix will pick it up. Some people are just finding out about it. People from Canada, Germany, Africa, England, and other countries are trying to get FOREVER back. Please sign petition and tell anyone u know about it.
I have been trying to locate a petition to get this program re-instated but have been unable to find if anyone could supply me with the details I would gladly sign it has I thought it was an excellant program. I sometimes didn’t watch each show as I recorded so many weeks and watched them all in one night back to back. I presume a number of people did the same and maybe this reflected the ratins in some way.
Bill Beverstock, here is the link to the petition… Feel free to share & sign 🙂

Where can you find the petition to sign?
I was gutted when I found out it had been cancelled. It ended with a cliff hanger and I was so looking forward to watching the next series. Typical of ABC studios keep the crap and scrap the good.
sign petition that is out there
This news totally sucks! It was one of the few shows I enjoyed watching as despite the often graphic content the storyline was very different from everything else on TV, captivating and entertaining. Loved the comedic content. Very sad.
Must be stupid to cancel forever i reckon must be renewed for season 2
I was looking forward to the new season. What a shame it’s not going to be renewed. It was a great concept, and satisfying to watch. Wish you’d change your mnds
this was a very good show that didn’t get a fare chance to grow an audience
I had been waiting for the show for Fall 2015….so sad it was cancelled..best series on TV….some of the new fall series are not worth watching…such bad acting…loved Dr. Henry Morgan! Aloha!
Very sad this show has ended. It was a real mind twister and makes you think unlike most tv shows like Flash and the green arrow so dumb, and so easy to predict what was going to happen next. Forever, It’ s the kind of show that can grow on you and first year was just starting to get interesting. Too bad the general populace can’t think for themselves. Actors are terrific…please bring it back, it can only get better.
Please sign the petition. Over 100,000 as of month or so. We are still fighting. Hopefully another network or Netflix wil pick up
It was the best show I have seen for a long time and I am gutted that it is cancelled.
Freakin LOVED this show. U anuses always get rid of decent shows, but will keep stupid A– reality shows with the world’s most ignorant people you can find!!!
I really love this series its so different and the cast is Great! Wish you would reconsider!
