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?
Forever was bound to be cancelled, because as with most shows that are well written and imaginative, they are never given a fair chance. The characters were substantive, and the interaction was well played. The casting was superb. ABC blew it again.
Well this is very disappointing! I have been waiting on a new season and just looked online to see when a new season would be coming on and saw this .
What’s the problem? Why is the show canceled?

My wife and I really looked forward to watching this show each week
Fantasy is a wonderful part of life with so much bad reality already on TV this was very refreshing
Try putting in time slot without so much competition and it will succeed
Another family show. Time to bring them back
This was a good tv show.
Bring it back.
better than most Sh!#t on.
I liked the show and very disappointed that it has been cancelled. The show combined some history, some light comedy and romance,, some magic all rolled into one. Very disappointing that it has been cancelled. Maybe we will get lucky and Netflix or a cable station will pick it up.
I am extremely disappointed about learning Forever was cancelled. It seems half the shows I get interested in end up cancelled. This show was very entertaining, well acted and written, and I loved the characters. Please bring it back!
I really enjoyed the show for the quality and something unique. Of all the stupid shows on TV that keep getting re-newed I should have known Forever would get cancelled. It takes too much creativity and thought to make this show. So sad. But, on a positive note, the Kardashians have been re-newed.
Good point!
