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.

Please do not cancel this show!!! Everything about it is top notch. I look forward to it every week. There are so few really good shows, I think it would be a big mistake to cancel this wonderful show.
I really hope this show is not canceled. It is by far one of the best shows on TV.
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW. FINALLY, A SHOW THAT HAS MORE TO IT THAN JUST COPS RUNNING AROUND THE CITY. THE LESSONS HENRY TEACHES ARE REFRESHING FOR A TV SERIES.
THE SHOWS WRITERS HAVE A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO WRITE STORIES THAT GIVE EXAMPLES OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND HUMAN BEHAVIOR THAT ARE CONSTRUCTIVE AND ENRICHING WHILE EXPERIENCING THIS JOURNEY WE CALL LIFE.
So true!!!
Forever is a great show which I hope continues on for another season. I have watched every episode repeatedly via our cable box. I really hope that ABC not only produces another season but releases this season to DVD. The day they release it to DVD I am buying it!
Great show, well worth watching please continue and renew for another season
I really love the show. Please keep it on.
What I love about this show, besides the handsome Henry is the fact that this show has more substance and intrigue than most “cop” shows. It is about the characters and how well developed they are. Most cop shows are formula and for the most part do not hold my interest. Forever is never boring, romantic and I am sure that we are all waiting for Henry and Jo to fall in love. It is so inspiring as well with the nuances of History. I think that Scandal and How to get away with Murder are predictable and violent, not… Read more »
Love this show. Was very disappointing when Jimmy Kimmel was on Tues night instead of Forever. What’s going on?
This is a thinking persons show which is probably why it is in trouble. The premise is clever and the cast and writing are excellent but it is up against some very stiff competition. Move it to Wednesday or Thursday and it should do well. I hope it is renewed because it is on our “don’t miss list”. It is permanently set to record on our DVR.
Please do not cancel this show. We love watching it. DO NOT CANCEL!!!!!!!
Keep it on I love this show!!!!
I LOVE this show. FOREVER is the best new show on TV!!! Please keep this show on TV — FOREVER!!!
