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?
cant beleive they would cancel this show, i thought it would last ‘forever’.
I liked the show Forever, unfortunately the time slot wasn’t good at 10pm, it should be on earlier.
I am extremely disappointed that Forever has been cancelled. This is a ridiculous action ABC has done.
I am extremely upset to find out Forever has been cancelled. I really enjoyed the show and am disappointed in ABC for cancelling this show. Truly ridiculous this was cancelled.
Re: Forever :A great show in which the characters grow on you and good old fashion mystery without being too over the top creepy due to humorous edge .. Love the main characters My husband and I both really looked forward to it -something like the attraction of “Murder She Wrote ” but better . Very disappointed to see it cancelled . Why didn’t it catch on ? -no idea -I see that “Elementary” is still on -a show which I ‘ve never caught on to -I find the characters annoying in that show-haven’t made it through more than 20… Read more »
My daughter and I looked forward to watching Forever every week. Please bring it back!
Finished watching this today both my wife and I are totally shocked it has been cancelled what a shame it is a well written program with great story lines. How can abc stop having a season 2 to make room for some of the rubbish that is now on TV.
I hated that this cancelled Realty shows are taking over TV and it stinks

FOREVER is a great tv series. Kindly bring it back.
Good old executives deciding what we the public can watch or not watch.
I loved the show heaps better then some of the other crap ABC puts out.
I also am tuning out of the ABC shows.
Thanks for nothing ABC. (Clowns in suits)
I loved Forever and am so sad it won’t be coming on again
Seriously, Forever was the best crime show on TV. Great plot, characters, ect. Not enough advertising for the show. . . ;. not many people knew about it. If they did, they’d be watching. Please reconsider.
I have been watching tv for sometime, I am 55 and I have never written a network about a show but your resent decision not to run season 2 of FOREVER was to say the least shocking. The show had a great cast, writing and a great back story. I of late have not been a big ABC fan of your programs However Forever was making me take another look. I sadly know now why I did not watch abc very much with a show like Forever you cut it, I have heard of people shooting themselves in the foot,… Read more »
