I hope there is a second season.

Great characters which is what makes a great show. I will be a bit pissed at ABC if they cancel this.

reply

I haven't wanted a show renewed this badly since MOONLIGHT and DOMINION!

Agree with you about "Moonlight"! Everyone I knew LOVED it and couldn't believe it was cancelled.

reply

More than PO-ed I'll be -- how about getting rid of disgusting Dancing with the Nobodies in exchange for season two of Forever? Tonite's ending referred to the next show as the Season Finale . . . Well?

At this point, there are no objective signs for whether or not it will be renewed. I thought the ratings were pretty good, they average about 8 mil, but it is obvious the ratings are unsatisfactory for renewal. At this point it will be whether or not the network is willing to take a chance. There just has to be someone there who believes in the show. They will probably gauge reactions to the finale and ask the writers what they plan for S2 as an improvement. I feel the network wants this; they ordered more episodes right away. But at the end of the day it is a business and they have to produce numbers. They will probably be willing to do another season if the writers really whip something out to impress. Or maybe give them a probationary period for the next season. They might feel it fair to let the show come back and judge it's success after the midseason finale next season, and cut it there or choose to go forward.

They might even prolong the next season for a year or more if they feel the writers can improve the show with a revamp. I have experienced year or more gaps in between a first season and second. These were not for cancelled shows it just for whatever took a good while to come back. I guess it could be for whatever reason - maybe the main character was filming a movie or someone had a child. I dont know the reasons. But I perceive big gaps like that to be the network saying "you have one last chance to get your sh*t together, make it good".

It's party time, all the time 😎

If this show is renewed it will be renewed for one reason only; the network doesn't have a replacement show or plans for one. If the network has a show to put in Forever's spot, Forever will be cancelled with these kinds of ratings.

I agree. I've enjoyed this show since the beginning. Even the weak episodes are worth watching just because friends and family love the characters so much, the warmth between Henry and Abe, a strong female detective who isn't harsh, the wonderful funny lines from Henry's assistant. It's all good. So often the "dead wife backstory" just feels like a cliche but Abigail has been warm and lovable and felt much more genuine than you usually see.

And there's nothing to replace it in a sea of "gritty" and depressing dramas, where they wash out all the color (literally and figuratively) and barely allow a moment of simple kindness.

We need Henry!

reply

Well said! Couldn't agree more!

I've had enough of all the crime dramas that have spawned franchise after franchise in a sea of clones like CSI, NCIS, Law & Order, Criminal Minds, etc. not to mention all the reality shows! Ah maddone!

I've just watched episode 15 "The King of Columbus Circle" and loved the poignant words of Henry in the final scene regarding the treatment of children. So true! Reminded me of Michael Caine's famous line from "Cider House Rules" i.e. "Goodnight, you princes of Maine, you kings of New England." Such a good show it is!

reply

Make that TWO strong female detectives. Loving the Lieutenant, also!!

reply

Ask Santa, not ABC.

reply

Season 2 was just confirmed by santa clause.

reply

I so thoroughly enjoy this program, I am aware of it's weakness in ratings, and indeed fear it may not return for a second go round.

I would say it appears the writers are doing a good job if the program does not continue. They seem to at least be giving "Forever" a send-off if it isn't renewed.


It is quite clear that Jo has feelings for Henry.


Henry and Abe now know the fate of a loved one. And Henry's nemesis is involved.



I do hope "Forever" can survive for a season two, such an intriguing show.

reply

Yeah I, too, will be saddened if they don't renew this show. But I agree with you, that this was a great 'send-off' if this is how it ends.

Although I definitely want to see more about this nemesis, and what his deal is, and why he is playing such crazy games, it's good at least to know how Abigail died, and how their paths crossed etc. Gives a bit of closure, and opens up more stories for the future.

reply

OMG I am with you totally!
This is one of the BEST SHOWS EVER!!!!!
I swear I am in withdrawl until the next episode comes out.

reply

Sign the petition! :D

Greetings from Denmark where we also love Forever ;D

reply

If it gets cancelled we can always dream about NETFLIX bring it back to life.
Now that would be amazing!!

reply

I really, really hope there will be more seasons.
