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 LOVED this show. I am so sorry it was cancelled
I was wondering what happened to the show. Sorry to hear it was canceled. I too hope that another station picks it up.
I loved this show, great acting good stories. With all the “trash” out there why do they have to cancel one of the only good shows. I wish another network would pick it up!
Fantastic show, talented and dedicated actors. the hard work and love put in the show by cast and the director reflects in the series.. Please, please bring it back or at least find a new home for it. Really disappointed when it was cancelled
Loved this show please bring it back
I loved this show and was very disappointed that it just disappeared and never came back. The one thing I did not like was the sound for the show was sometimes very difficult to hear. I would always need subtitles and turn the volume way up to hear what was going on and then get blasted by commercials. Just for clarification, I am 30 years old and do not have any hearing impairment. Other than that, not sure why more people didn’t fall in love with this show. Come back!!!
That was my favorite show! Please give it another shot
I love the show, a brilliantly different idea, a man who lives forever, shouldn’t have been cancelled but promoted more. Acting and plots excellent, not the same boring plots rehashed on another crime programme.
I love the show. Still thinking that (for reasons of logic) Henry should move to Great Britain and BBC could take on the show. – Has sth like this ever happened before? At least it would definitely be worth to try #Forever
Miss show please bring back…there are not many shows without a lot of sex and blood….love it…great show
Great series! It seems to me that the ratings of the false, and series closed for some other reason. In 2016 came a lot serealy with a similar story “Second Chance”, “Lucifer”. Maybe some sort of lobby influence on the closing of the show that he would not compete with these serials. Because eternity is much better, and everyone else on his background of simply fade. Ioan Gruffudd amazing actor, and he performed his role perfectly!
Fantistic series. Had to watch every episode. Don’t cancel the series………..
it’s impossible to not love it!!!
Love this show and will miss it dearly!!!
I can’t believe they’ve cancelled this its my favourite show by far. Bring it back please
