Forever - Warner Bros. Unable to find New Home for the Show

Jul 7, 2015

Share on Reddit





This is a hard message to write but I'm sorry to report that despite Warners Bros best efforts they haven't been able to find a new home for Forever. That doesn't mean they won't keep trying but wanted to give you all the real, although disheartening news.

I've been hesitant to reach out because I (like you) didn't want to believe that this was really the end. We had so much story left to tell, questions unanswered; romances unfulfilled; characters to introduce… But I suppose I was asking for trouble when I named the show Forever. We all knew this day would come, but when you're writing a character with 200 years of backstory, 22 episodes doesn't seem like enough.

That said, we are all super proud of the show we made. It was a charmed experience making this show and I'm grateful to everyone involved and that includes YOU. Especially you.

When the show was first canceled the outpouring of support was truly touching and I assumed would dissipate after a day or two. But something incredible happened. You guys grew! The longer we were off the air the more passionate you became. And perhaps most impressively, you always remained positive. A snark-less and cynicism-free international fan base? Perhaps our greatest achievement to date.

So, that's where we stand. Wish I had better news. But if we've learned nothing else from Dr. Henry Morgan, it's that it's a long life. And who knows? Maybe some cable channel or streaming service will come to the obvious conclusion we all have… there's a great cast and crew out there ready to get back to work. Hey, a 200 year old immortal washed up naked on the shores of Manhattan. Stranger shit has happened.

  2. I loved Forever! (the season/series finale is still on my DVR) :(
    I'm going to miss the show terribly and I'll hold out hope that this situation may change in the future..

  3. Forever needs to last forever! Or at least 4-5 seasons, lol.

  4. Not at all surprising but it is a shame that Forever did not connect in the ratings. It was a charming show with the best character interaction of the season in Henry and Abe. I will miss it.

  5. Didn't even know that they were pitching it to other places.
    Shame, the show really had its charme but the ratings sadly didn't deliver. I don't blame ABC for cancelling it but yeah...sad

  8. Disappointed, but wasn't counting on it. I kind of figured it wouldn't get picked up. Good shows die while too many bad ones live.

  10. Not surprised but not happy. Like they said, too much story to tell for just one season. This will always be the show that ended way too soon...rip Henry.

  11. Not surprising. The cost and being a failure on ABC probably didn't entice other networks to pick it up.

    Ohhhh, i think it is not normal, because in Europe the ratings were the same, for the all first season ! We are not important, people in Europe ? Really, really sad for this situation, i was too happy to see more and more ! Love, love this show !!!! :'( :'( :'(

  13. Forever was one of the best series on last season...IMO It was cast to perfection (all but Cuba, I could have done without that arc, lol) I'll keep hoping, but it looks bad. ;((

  14. Only more proof that TV is dying. Soon it will only be endless reality junk being made. Do yourselves all a huge favor and unplug before it's too late.
