The TV-Show Forever was recently cancelled by the ABC after only 1 season.

What is the reason for the cancellation?

The only thing I can find is a tweet from Alice Evans (Ioan Gruffudd's wife):

    there are only ever two reason a TV Show gets cancelled: it has bad ratings, or its actors want too much $$. If it never makes it past season 1, it's bad ratings.

    The ratings were about 100%, however, in the 200-10000 demographic.

The show was cancelled due to the following reasons:

Though the Forever series had some very passionate fans, that devotion didn’t translate into positive ratings. The numbers were pretty poor for much of the season and the show ended up averaging a 1.12 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.93 million viewers. As a result, ABC has decided against ordering a second season of Forever.
