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 awesome! you keep crap like scandal and cancel Forever idots!
I love this show. It is fantastic. That’s why the idiots cancelled it.
I am seriously upset by this news. I can’t believe its been cancelled. I was just thinking wow it’s getting good and bam. I swear I am not getting interested in another show…everytime I do they cancel it. I will miss Henry and Abe…I loved them together. Now we will never know what made Henry immortal…arghhhh..
That’s so disappointing! I’m almost positive those rating numbers don’t include people who watch shows on Hulu like my family. This was an amazing show.
Forever got better with each episode….hope someone there gives it another chance. Worked well for M.A.S.H., etc.
The forever series was really very good. We all liked the chemistry the actors had with each other. They shouldn’t have canceled it. My husband loved the villain. We all felt the show should have written more for his part to mix up trouble for Henry and his partner the beautiful detective. And Henry’s son was a great part as well, listening to him calling Henry dad and pops was funny. We would like for the station to bring it back for a second season.
why is it when younger generation doesn’t watch a how it is cancelled. Forgot there is still a group of watchers 50 plus that enjoy series like forever. 50 plus are really not into reality shows. Disappointed that 50 plus o age does not matter any more
Please not now. with the possibilities there it’s bound to have more viewers.The romance with Jo, maybe they try to find the answer to Henry’s issue. Gotta answer these questions and see the 2nd season!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my godness. I’m shocked. Why close this show? What’s problem ? Take it back.
Please reconsider and do not cancel this show. I love this show, there are many other shows that should/could have been canceled. It is a great story line which I cannot wait to watch each week! Please reconsider!!!!
I am soooo sad about this. I want another season. This is a really good show. Season 2 somewhere please
What an amazing series, it was awesome. hopefully they will change their mind regarding season 2.
What! Oh my God, noooo! Why? Why this show? This is the best show ever.
not usually the type to leave coments but this is madness to cancel this show… ABC sort it out… season 2!!
WHY???? WHY????? This was the best show since long time…….I used to watch it in India and truly truly loved it. Please renew ABC …..Please….
I hope someone else picks the show up, I liked the actors and the idea of the show. I am so disappointed it was canceled, I hope the network rethinks this and brings it back.
So sad………………………
