The teaser for Forever, the upcoming Netflix series, was unveiled by the streamer as a part of their slate announcements for 2025. The series, a reimagination of the 1975 eponymous novel by Judy Blume, is created by Mara Brock Akil.
This coming-of-age story dives into the powerful first love of two Black teenagers in 2018 Los Angeles. Navigating the awkwardness (and beauty) of a first relationship, they explore their identities against the backdrop of a city buzzing with youthful energy. The show will have themes found in creator Mara Brock Akil's previous works, like Girlfriends and Being Mary Jane, which celebrated Black love.
Love Simone and Michael Cooper Jr essay the lead roles of Keisha and Justin. Adriyan Rae, Karen Pittman, and Wood Harris are also a part of the cast of Forever.
The first episode of Forever is set to be helmed by Academy Award winner Regina King, who will also serve as the executive producer. A premiere date for the series is yet to be announced.
