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 the show. Forever was one of my favorites and was looking forward to the new season. There aren’t too many shows on ABC that interest me and I’m sad to see this show be cancelled. Hopefully one of the other networks will pick it up. If so I will certainly find out which one and tone in.
I loved this show. I am very sad that it is cancelled. Is it possible another channel?
This show was so great, I would truly hate for this story to end when there is so much more to tell. Please bring it back.
The show was really refreshing it was catching on in the UK seems ABC executives are more interested in ratings than good entertainment

I really liked and enjoyed Forever. I liked the acting, the action, the mystery, even the flashback of Henry, with him showing the audience what he has experience throughout his long 236 year life. Also, I myself like the idea of a character who is immortal and has experienced many events throughout history. And I would hope that this TV show would get renewed for a second season that would lead to other things, like Henry and Jo being in a relationship, Adam coming out of his Paralysis condition, maybe learning more about Adam (since who he really might be… Read more »
There has to be something to make ABC change their mind! This cannot be the end of Forever! Anyone with any clout out there that can help? Sure would be appreciated! Please help, help, help !
I loved this show! It was fresh and exciting! I loved the characters and the setup. I am so disappointed that it’s been canceled!!!
I think this was one of the best shows on TV in the last few years, entertaining, great cast, I am sure going to miss this show, what a shame. I guess there just wasn’t enough violence or sexual content to keep viewers interested.
I loved the show and I’m disjointed there won’t be a 2nd season.
This was a great show. Was intriguing and entertaining. I am very upset it was cancelled. So being replaced with stupid reality shows are replacing shows that make you think. Who cares about shows like naked and afraid. But you take off a excellent series.r
u made a big mistake the series was great and differen t
Please don’t cancel the show forever has this show is the best me and my son watch it and it has left it with unanswered questions please bring it back for a season 2 at least
Forever was one of those rare, intelligent shows, where everyone got along and your entire family could watch. It was my favourite show of the year. Unfortunately I don’t think it was properly advertised as much because most of my friends and colleagues had not heard of it. At a party one night, I had a group of friends watch a few episodes and all were hooked – only to find it was canceled. I hope someone picks it up. Not only was it a great show. It’s also a show we all need. Intelligent, positive, intriguing, without the rudeness,… Read more »
