It looks like the clock has run out on the Unforgettable TV show for real this time. A&E has cancelled the cop drama and won’t be ordering season five.
Unforgettable follows Carrie Wells (Poppy Montgomery), a police detective who has hyperthymesia — a rare medical condition that gives her the ability to visually remember everything. She works with Al Burns (Dylan Walsh) and other members of the Major Crimes team of the NYPD to track down the city’s most nefarious criminals. The rest of season four’s cast includes Alani Anthony, Kathy Najimy, and E.J. Bonilla.
The series began on CBS and was cancelled after one season but the network later reversed their decision. They renewed Unforgettable for a second season and later, for a third.
The network cancelled the show again in October 2014 but A&E revived the series five months later and ordered a fourth season of 13 episodes. They started airing in November and concluded in January, averaging a 0.12 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 740,000 viewers. Compared to season three’s ratings, these were down about 87%.
The ratings for Unforgettable were expected to be lower for its run on cable but it’s unlikely that A&E expected them to be that low. The cable channel ended up airing the final four episodes in one night, seemingly an attempt to just get rid of them.
Sony TV, which produces the series, isn’t expected to make any efforts to revive the series this time around. Cast contracts have reportedly already expired and some, Montgomery included, are considering new series pilots.
What do you think? Did you like the Unforgettable TV show? Did you watch on A&E? Do you think that it should have been cancelled or renewed for a fifth season?

I love this show, u guys not serious ending it like that, u all have thousands of persons hoping and praying for u all to give us season 5
I’m with everyone else, how could you cancel a show with a cliffhanger? You only end an episode like that if you’re coming back for another season. You could have had another episode or two. That was just torture. The show was never given enough publicity when it moved to A & E. Trying to find out when and where it was on probably cost you a lot of viewers. Really good show. Wish it had been treated properly.
I simply cant believe how you can end a whole series in a cliffhanger. My granddaughter and I watched it right from the start and really loved it. But to end like that…. makes me so mad
I loved that show! I watched it faithfully on A&E! I am so disappointed in their decision to cancel it! Not fair to those of us who watch everything they air on A&E ):
Hey! I am really disappointed by the decision by A-Ε. Please bring it back just for 1 episode in order to change the last one 🙁 Please give it one more chance!!!
Not renewing this was such a major! Disappointment! Loved this show, bring it back!
How is it possible to finish a series with a cliffhanger .
Surely a couple of episodes as stated before would finish the series properly.
I am really disappointed by the decision by A&E.
I have seen all episodes of “UNFORGETABLE’ and loved everyone of them.
If a season is to be cancelled the viewers should at least finish the story line, not leave a cliffhanger
. Shame on you.
“
Really love this programme and should do a series 5 let’s hope they do. . . .
Great tv program should go on and make another series
just like a&e! just like the disappearance of “Glades”. a great show that didnt deserve this nor did the viewers deserve to be treated like this. A big onion to a&e.
My morher and I love this show. It was unfair to cancel the show based on ratings when it never received the proper advertisement to know when and where it would air. Plus, you can’t end the show without letting us know what happened after AL got shot. If you absolutely must cancel it, then at least air a few last episodes to properly wrap up the story line (in a good way). I really would like to see another full season, though.
This is a great show. Please don’t cancel it. Just be sure to let us know when and where it will be available. It never received the publicity it deserved, so how could the ratings be expected to be great. There are so many other shows which deserve to be canceled. Not this one!!
My daughter and I really liked the show, as I am sure many others did, however, it is unfair to the show and the public when the public had absolutely no idea that Unforgettable had been moved to A&E. A&E has priors when it comes to not telling the public what show is on when
