Forever Season 2: Production officially begins in Los Angeles

I have a major update about Forever, and I’m about to put you on. The team at Netflix just revealed that Season 2 is now in production in Los Angeles. Who said, nothing gets filmed In Hollywood anymore?

Why we’re ready for more

If you watched the first season, you know this show earned its renewal. While Forever highlights romance, it connects with audiences because it feels authentic. It perfectly captures the awkwardness, the chemistry, and the uncertainty of the future. Most importantly, it explores how love and timing rarely line up. Seeing that raw honesty play out on screen was truly wonderful.

What’s next for Justin and Keisha?

The story picks up four years later as Justin and Keisha navigate adulthood in a post-pandemic world. Both characters now juggle new relationships, professional careers, and bigger dreams. Naturally, these milestones bring more responsibility. However, life has a funny way of circling people back to each other when they least expect it.

Consequently, the new season asks the question we all eventually face: Can exes really just be friends?

A fresh perspective on adulthood

Showrunner Mara Brock Akil described this chapter as standing “at the edge of adulthood” and wanting to run back to your “real ones.” That sentiment alone suggests this season will hurt in the best way possible.

To keep the energy fresh, the cast is adding some new faces:

• Malaika Guttoh joins the cast as Ameena.
• Avery Wills Jr. and Tre McBride join as recurring characters Jaden and Elijah.

Fortunately, our returning favorites are back as well. Lovie Simone, Michael Cooper Jr., Karen Pittman, Wood Harris, and Xosha Roquemore are all reprising their roles. To be honest, the show wouldn’t feel right without them.
