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?
Not sure when it was announced that Forever was cancelled. We have been waiting for the Fall season to start! That was one of our favorites; we never missed an episode. We are so sad about this. Please bring it back!

I loved the show Forever I can not believe you cancelled it!! bring it back please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bring it back!!! why did you cancel this show? I wept.
I loved this tv show. I didn’t know that it was cancelled, now I’m desaponted.
What a stupid decision. Forever was an amazing show with a big fan base. These clowns have no clue who actually watches their programing. Cancelled their best new series and left crap in its place.
YES!!!!! I really was looking forward to Season 2 (Man… I wanted to find out when he finally told about his “forever status” to the policewoman who… quite frankly, I was looking forward to a rated-PG romance between these two!)
Why was it canceled (I mean… I read it was because the ratings were not high enough). I am deeply disappointed by the cancellation of the series, and hope that this particular email will be the “final tilting email” to get it back!
BRING IT BACK!!! SICK OF REALITY MESS AND ALL THESE SAME BIG BILLY BAD WANNA BE COPS…EITH THE SAME GRUESOME, BLOODY SCENES!
I think the THAT was a huge mistake… I’m so tired of watching bbq the SAME old big, Billy bad, over Dre fanatic shows with the same blood and fire! The ratings are lower because the new younger generation do not watch tv as much as … Castle and Forever were interesting, had an actual plot, with a hint of comedy… As for reality shows… Such OF them!!! They should have given it a second season… Just when we were getting answers… Much like GROUND FLOOR… CLEAN COMEDY… HIT THE AD WITH CRISTELA… YOU HAVE BBC TO GIVE BBC THEN… Read more »
U
so r dy gonna put it back in d air….????
Forever is the best show on TV. I am shocked that it would be cancelled. Please ABC bring it back! The story line was going in a fantastic direction. Please don’t leave us hanging.
Such a sham, how on earth is any tv series suppose to last when all these guys want to renew are reality crap, and slot then all in the prime slots when shows like this have to try and survive in an 10- 11 oclock slot. This is one of the main reasons I find it so hard to get interested in any tv shows, just as you get into the show they cancel it leaving the audience scrambling to find something else, then they bring in a new show, cancel it after one season. and so on and so… Read more »
