TV show description:
A fantasy crime drama, this TV series follows New York City’s star medical examiner — Doctor Henry Morgan (Ioan Gruffudd), handsome man with a secret past. No matter how hard he tries, Henry can’t age even a single day — he’s immortal. He doesn’t know much about what happens when he “dies” except that everything on him disappears and he reemerges in a body of water, naked.
Henry doesn’t just study the dead to solve criminal cases however. He does it to try to solve the mystery that has eluded him for 200 years — the reason for his own inexplicable immortality.
Henry’s long life has given him remarkable observation skills which impresses his new partner, Detective Jo Martinez (Alana De La Garza). This piques her curiosity about who he is. Each new case and their budding friendship reveal layers of Henry’s long and colorful past. Jo’s sharp, no-nonsense instincts and her ability to close difficult cases have given her a tough-as-nails reputation on the force, despite also dealing with the untimely loss of her husband.
Lucas Wan (Joel David Moore) is a twenty-something self-proclaimed “artisan of death” and Henry’s worshipful assistant. He considers mortuary science an art, and Henry its Picasso. After transplanting to New York City from rural Ohio, Lucas worked up the courage to introduce himself to the star medical examiner at a crime scene.
A Brooklyn native, Detective Hanson (Donnie Keshawarz) works alongside Jo and has worked his way up to the NYPD’s elite squad of homicide detectives. He’s a family man who lives with his wife and two children in Queens. Unafraid of bending the rules to get the job done, Hanson is sometimes skeptical of Henry’s talent but often admires its effectiveness.
No one knows Henry better than his best friend and confidant, an antique shop owner named Abe (Judd Hirsch). The keeper of Henry’s immortality secret, Abe’s “carpe diem” philosophy inspires Henry to get more in touch with the beauty of living. Abe is not immortal but he is determined to make the most out of every moment of life.
Episode #22 — The Last Death of Henry Morgan
Henry and Adam have been on a long, unrelenting collision course, which is about to come to a head – possibly bringing about one man’s death – with only Jo standing in the way. Henry and Jo’s murder investigation into a museum worker’s death centers on a priceless missing ancient dagger, which not only ended the life of Julius Caesar, but also killed Adam the first time.
Meanwhile, Adam knows that there is something that Henry fears more than death – that Jo might discover his mystery. The two men tangle in a tumultuous game-changing confrontation.
First aired: May 5, 2015.
What do you think? Do you like the Forever TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I thoroughly enjoyed “Forever” and would like to see the story continue!
Forever was a great story! I would love to watch it for seasons to come. Forever is better than most other TV shows. Bring it back.
Forever was a great story! The main character was noble, wise, and just. Just another example of a great show with a great character and no U.S. audience because of the awful cultural shift into an amoral abyss.

I wanted to know what happened between Adam & Henry. Also whether or not something would develop with Jo and if it would change their investigation procedures.
Please, there are a lot of ****** shows already out there in the world please don’t cancel the good ones.
Please, please, please bring this series back to television. It has a little bit if everything, history, science, mystery. It was my favorite show
Very sad to see this show end. Very good storyline and unique idea.
It was my absolute favorite show. My husband and I were always looking forward to it.
I don’t know why such a good show got cancelled? So far, whoever I recommended it to liked it as well.
I just hope ABC will bring it back. I could watch it – forever;)
Me and my husband loved this show. We want it to come back.
The TV show forever was a great show. Why would u cancels such a show that I could wait for the next to come to see what they would do next I am very disappointed
My husband and I love this show, and we think you should have a season 2.
The acting and story line is fantastic. Each show brings a lot of excitement and
concern as to what will happen next.
thanks, Ann
Great series, great actors, good chemistry between detective and Henry. Series should not be cancelled. Better promotion, better time might have saved the series, but it is clearly better than many series that have been continued for a second season.
I think that forever should be come back for season 2 Its great show.
bring it back this is the best show you have love it i hope you do bring it back
