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 love this show. I just knew that it was cancelled for season 2. It broke my heart. I do wish there is a way to bring the show back. The last episode left me hanging. I am curious whether he would tell Detective Jo or not about his immortality. I want to see what her reaction would be. I just wish forever would renew for another series.
Forever was the best show ever and it was so intriguing. It shouldn’t have been canceled the way the last episode ended that always do that with the good shows. Do you think you could do a short season of 10 episodes or so?
How can we as fans help bring this show back???
This is bull, that was one of my favorite shows I’m very mad.
My family loved and looked forward to watching Forever every week; all the actors in it did are tremendous, the writing is great and the plot twists wonderful. This is very sad news that it is cancelled. There are so many crummy shows out there that continue to be on, but this was not one of them-it was very entertaining and loved; PLEASE RETHINK YOUR DECISION & BRING BACK FOREVER NEXT SEASON!!! Maybe you can put it on another day/time but please renew it!!
Well said. the big-wigs at ABC are stupid
Forever was an intelligent well written show. It was the type of series that ABC needs to compete with CBS’s powerhouse. Executives should reconsider the move.
This is one of the best shows it should not be Axed
It loved in the UK as well
The show was great. And very well written. It is very disappointing that this show will not be coming back for a second season. The worst part was how you ended the show. And if ratings were that much of a concern you could’ve changed time-slots before canceling the show.
I loved this show. This is why I normally don’t watch shows till season two. I don’t like to be hung out to dry as it were.
I personally rank this show to be one of my favorite the only show above it may be buffy.
I like to know why ABC always cancels a show that is good, just because it has low ratings should not matter. I see a lot of shows on ABC that should be cancelled and their not.
I love CBS, they never cancel my shows!
Poor part on ABC, this show was funny and interesting.
i think it’s very short sighted of ABC to cancel such a brilliant show. I’m hoping either they realize their mistake or that someone else snaps up this well acted interesting and engaging show.
i am very sad to hear the news thatABC cancelled forever without even trying to find a better time slot or day for the show
I agree. One of the best shows on ABC.. It has a loyal following, a great cast and an intriguing story line.. Reconsider ABC…reconsider
To whom it may concern,
Our family loves forever watched every week. So very disappointed there will not be a season 2. Hope you will rethink your decision.
While sad the show was cancelled I think it ended perfectly.

BRING BACK FOREVER. Forget Nelson rating. Who has one tv. Dvrs Tivos. All kinds of recording devie. Internet, etc. ABC ur getting alot more viewers Than u think. Ur keepinf Galavat over this. I’ve watched it but my choice is FOREVEF. IF galavant so good trade time slots and see how it does. Important remember more wayz to watch a program. Ur numbers are not reflecting true numbers any more. Use ur brain not those erroneous numbers. GREAT SHOW and you know it
The Network should also investigate the great Int’l following. All my friends watched the show on Apple TV Come on AB
