The new drama will not return for Season 2.
May 7, 2015
ABC has decided not to continue with Forever, cancelling the freshman drama after one season. The news broke this evening on Twitter from star Ioan Gruffod's wife, actress Alice Evans. The show aired its finale on Tuesday.
Forever got off to a decent start last fall, earning a full season pickup in November after a month of healthy, if not spectacular, ratings. Unfortunately viewership started to dwindle in recent months and failed to pick back up to a level that would warrant a renewal from the network.

I am so upset!I absolutely love this show! After watching the season finale the first thing I said was I couldn't wait to see it in the fall. Why would they cancel such a good show???

I hope this show gets picked up by some other network. I loved this show and I thought the season finale was fantastic. I was so looking forward to another season.

Been waiting and waiting for word on this show. Hate this!! They say not enough people are watching? I fins it very interesting that of ALL the shows listed on this site for cancellation over the last couple of days, most have NO comments. A few have a couple of comments. But The cancellation of Forever has 3 pages of comments already and ALL of them are people upset about Forever going. Doesn't THAT say something?? Getting so tired of well acted, well written, intelligent shows not being given a chance and being cancelled while all that reality crap remains on the air. Not sure if that says more about the Networks or the Viewers.

So today I checked my instagram and saw Ioan's post. Immediately I was so upset. I couldn't believe it, they had cancelled Forever. I honestly even cried a little, I loved this show so much it made my Tuesdays so amazing. I remember the first time I saw advertising for Forever. I said, "Wow, this is my type of show I NEED TO WATCH THIS!" And so it began I saw the first episode and instantly fell in love, it was amazing. The crime was there, the chemistry was there, entertainment, it was the full package! I honestly will never get over these characters they had amazing bonds and I wanted to see them grow! Jo and Henry WHAT ABOUT JENRY I need to know!!! AND DOES JO EVER LEARN HENRY IS IMMORTAL? This is why I am praying that TNT Drama picks up Forever. I would also like to thank the entire cast and crew. This show is genius, genuine, and just all around beautiful. The acting is spectacular, and so is the writing! Also just having the chance to live tweet with all these spectacular writers and actors was SO AWESOME! Especially talking to Alana she was so sweet and always replied to my tweets. Ioan you are just a gem you are just a spectacular actor and your attractiveness and accent just make it even better! Joel my friend you are hilarious you always bring a smile to my day. Donnie I loved getting to tweet with you also you are so friendly and sweet! Judd your just spectacular I wish you had a twitter because I would love to tweet with you! Lorraine you bring such a strong powerful presence to the show! Matt thank you so much for creating the show you are a genius and so kind! All of my writers, wow you are so talented thank you for poetry in a show (if you know what I mean haha)! And of course the crew without you guys their would be no show! But this is not the end! Forever will live on I know it! <3

This was one of the absolute best shows on television! I am so upset that it was cancelled. I guess I need to learn that intelligent tv rarely makes it, but rest assured, stupid reality shows get renewed every year!

One of my faves as well and fave on ABC and Tuesdays for sure! Sad this got cancelled and American Crime renewed - I am the only person I know still watching that and just for closure prolly won't pick it up next year, yet everyone I know who started watching Forever stuck with it.

Goes to show that unless execs see live numbers, they don't care how popular you are. Forever actually had good DVR numbers and probably would have done better live on another day of the week, but since ad dollars rule broadcasting, no one is going to care how much it's watched off a DVR.

All you people who are angry and are in the mindset that everything has to be instant are to blame. Programmers and TV "Exec's" today are all in their 30's and 40's and think everything has to happen NOW. They didn't want to wait and let this really good program find an audience because their mindset is 'I want it NOW'. TV ratings are the only way these idiots make decisions; how much they can charge to place an ad is their only concern. ABC isn't the only one who has this problem, they only have the people with the littlest amount of patience. Having Henry die every episode would not have helped; people watching who enjoy great story and character telling that are able to let their imaginations fill in the blanks would have helped. People have lost the ability to use their imagination, they need instant violence, guns, sex, and don't like anything that doesn't have that in it. So we are left with junk on TV. We get what we deserve.

I will NEVER watch a new show on ABC. Why bother. Forever was a GREAT show. After they cancel Grey's Anatomy it will be so long ABC for me. ABC...YOU SUCK!!!!
