TORONTO, Sept. 18, 2014 /CNW/ - CTV announced today that the series debut of the anticipated new drama FOREVER is now available free to viewers at CTV.ca and on CTV GO. Ahead of the official launch of the fall TV season, CTV offers Canadians their first taste of new offerings with the exclusive advance digital preview of the new series leading up to its special two-part premiere on Monday, Sept. 22 at 10 p.m. ET/PT and Tuesday, Sept. 23 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CTV and CTV GO. Part of CTV's heroic new Monday lineup, FOREVER will air in its regular timeslot Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT beginning Sept. 29, following the buzzed-about new Batman origin drama GOTHAM (Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT beginning Sept. 22). FOREVER stars Ioan Gruffudd (Fantastic Four) as Dr. Henry Morgan, a star medical examiner who studies the dead to solve criminal cases, but also to solve the mystery that has eluded him for 200 years - the answer to his own inexplicable immortality.

In the premiere episode of FOREVER, Dr. Henry Morgan's (Gruffudd) exciting, adventurous, and intriguingly long life has blessed him with amazing insight and observational skills. So, when Henry and Detective Jo Martinez (Alana De La Garza, LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT) investigate a fatal subway collision, Jo is not only impressed, but her curiosity is piqued about who he is. Meanwhile, Henry soon discovers someone else knows his secret, and he may not be the only "immortal" out there. But who is that person and what does he want? The one person who can inject hope into Henry's life is Abe (Judd Hirsch, DAMAGES), his best and only friend. Fate has brought the two men together and they share an unconventional bond. It's just part of the captivating mystery surrounding Henry's strange circumstances and his long search to uncover the cause of his condition and escape.
