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?
This is so far the best TV show I’ve ever seen and i’m really sad to see it being cancelled. Come on…
I LOVE PETE’S COMMENT ……AWESOME!
GREAT SHOW IOAN GRUFFUD IS A SUPERB ACTOR, AND ALANA DLA AINT TO SHABBY EITHER,
SEEMS THE US MARKET SHY’S AWAY FROM ANYTHING SLIGHTLY SCI FI. EVEN THE BEST SELLING “STAR TREK” WAS NEARLY CANNED IN ITS EARLY DAYS. THIS SERIES WAS GREAT ENTERTAINMENT, AND WILL BE MISSED AS THE RELATIONSHIP SIDE OF THINGS WAS JUST GETTING STARTED. WHY CANT THE US DO SOMETHING RIGHT INSTEAD OF WORSHIPPING THE MIGHTY $$$$$$$$$$. AGAIN A GREAT SERIES CUT OUT IN ITS PRIME. FOOLS!
It’s terrible that they cancelled this great show. All my family, friends and coworkers absolutely loved watching. It finished with a massive cliff hanger and am hugely disappointed that no other station has picked up the series. I think they made a big mistake cancelling this unique, terrific show.
i was gutted when I realised that the final I just watched was the series final and not just the season final. This was one show I watched religiously and really enjoyed. Most upset!!!
I can not believe it, I loved this show. I am so sick of all the real life dramas that are out now a days, that this was a fresh new Sci-Fi flick for an adult audience. Well looks like it’s back to The CW (for young adults) and other cable channels to suffice my longing for non-real life drama. Thanks again for taking away another GREAT show.
I am having trouble with my computer it should have read it would not have been canceled.
They I don’t think they had 45 and older if they did it would have cancel.
If they ignor us We should not watch their Channel.
I don’t watch live TV anymore. This is the only show I watched and I watched online when I had time. Forever was the best show I had seen for a very long time. I am sad to see it go. Nothing else seems worth my time.
Well, it doesn’t look like this amazing show will ever hit our screens again. Really disappointed it wasn’t given a chance like so many other cop shows on ABC. Most of the stars have already moved on to and joined other shows!! Really gutted that we will never see the love story blossom between the main characters.
I loved this show and I think that it shouldn’t of ended there. They should of made another episode to end it off nicely.

Don’t be wankers , it is a good show . Keep it going
This show was awesome! Why does it have to be canceled! Me and my mom loved this show and always looked forward to it every week.
That’s terrible that it’s been cancelled. All my friends and I love the show and have become obsessed. It finished on a massive cliff hanger and I am very upset that I will never know what happens. I only watched tv for that one show- tv is pointless without it
