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?
Please bring back the show and give us the ending we deserve. What kind of writers would give us a ending like that. We need at least one more season.
Loved the show. Only by chance that I checked online to see what happened to the show after season three. At that time, it stated that there would be a season four starting soon. Have enjoyed the fourth season but did not like the last shows ending. I hope it comes back for another season or at least a movie to let us know who shot Al and that he survived.
My Aunt and I LOVE UNFORGETABLE. We are very sad the show is canceled. The chemistry between the charactors is great. Absolutely loved the stories. Please bring UNFORGETABLE back.
Absolutely love this show!! Please bring it back.
I love this show and I’m so sad they have been cancelled. If my DVR had a larger capacity the show would still be setup and I wouldn’t have missed it. Very sad! Great show! Great actors
I don’t get it, why would they cancel this again! I know lots & lots of people like this show. Please bring this back; it is a great show, the hour goes past so quickly that you just want more.
I loved this show. I didn’t know it had moved to A&E. My DVR was set to record all first run shows but of course it didn’t. Will it ever show in reruns?
We loved Unforgettable and didn’t know when it started so if we’re like other fans, we missed most of season 4. It was a great show!
We never knew what time it was airing and didn’t find out it was on until the last two episodes, I think that’s why the ratings were down.
I’m sure many of Unforgettable fans as ourselves had no way of knowing what time it was showing and didn’t find out until the last two episodes
love this show. 😉 Greetings from Belgium.
Please bring it back! One of the best crime procedurals, with an interesting twist.
So very disappointing. Hard to believe the show didn’t have the ratings. I watched it from the beginning. The acting and story lines were awesome.Whatever it takes to get it back would be worth it. A big mistake not to renew!!!!!!
It was great and they barely gave it a chance – takes a while to build back up with all the cancels and uncancels – not everything is instant – uhhhhh
Loved the show, sorry to see it end.
