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 loved Unforgettable and wish they would bring I back!
Please do not cancel this program. So enjoyable to watch and I like the different slant it takes on solving crime….
This is the best cop show!!! Pls DO NOT CANCEL!!!
Only really good cop show that has some comedy in it. Love watching to see what she remembers. How can you cancel it now when Al got shot. Move it to a different day and at 900 time slot. I record each one and watch it later if I am not available.
Yes unforgettable should come back again. My mom and i are in love with this show.
Loved the show…is there any hope for season Five???
We loved the show. Sorry to hear it won’t be back.
u morons wouldn’t know a good show from a bad show anyway. I’ve learned not to let myself enjoy a show too much because of the moronic suits who get payed tons of money to make these decisions.
I love this show. PLEASE BRING IT BACK !!!!!!!
This has to be another blow for Sony Pictures Television, which has been known for its attempts for keeping some cancelled TV series alive. I also never expected its viewership to be really terrible, either. Knowing that “Unforgettable”‘s cast and crew have already moved on to other projects, I think Sony has decided to give up on saving the series, and because of this, “Unforgettable” is doomed to rot in the television basement, never to be re-ran again (even though its first season is available on DVD). It probably doesn’t help that some of “Unforgettable”‘s storylines are going to be… Read more »
I only watched a few episodes but I liked it. It’s problem, to me, is that it’s too much like the many long running cop shows that I never watch more than twice. Unforgetable has Poppy-charm that makes it significantly better than the others. I’ll likely watch all the DVR’d episodes I’ve got. (Except I’m anticipating that Cox’s junk DVR will break at any time.)
Great show loved it on both networks………..bring it back!!!!
Love the show…good…perfect cast…want it back…not happy!
Loved it on both networks! Did i hear right that ID picked it up?
Sorry, they did not.
It is funny the networks care more for those under 40 then those of us over 40. We are the ones that like decent shows…not the trash that is usually showed……clean shows are becoming things of the past. This was a good show. At least you could have not left us hanging…..
