What Will Happen in Forever Season 2?
Forever revolves around two Black teenagers, Keisha and Justin. They knew each other as kids, and they reconnected at a New Year’s Eve party, becoming each other’s first love.
While the show is inspired by the Judy Blume novel, it’s set in 2018, updating the romance for modern times. Keisha is an A-plus student who plans to do great things with her life, and Justin is less sure about what he wants to do after high school.
Besides their growing feelings for each other, the two also have to deal with family pressure and the usual issues associated with being a Black teen. Their romance is sweet and feels like a rollercoaster. By the end of season 1 they make the difficult decision to part ways. They don’t fall out of love, but Justin needs a little more time to figure out his path.
Forever season 2 could catch up as the two go on their individual journeys, or could kick off with another reunion. Either way, it will be interesting to see them grow.
“This show was never just about first love — it was about being seen, about letting teenagers be soft, complicated, and real. And the world showed up for that,” according to creator Mara Brock Akil.
She promises to deliver more sweetness in the future: “Season 2 is our love letter back to the people who said, ‘Yes, this is for me.’ We’re honored, we’re excited, and we’re ready to go even deeper.”
