The first season, which premiered on Thursday, May 8, ends with Keisha (Lovie Simone) and Justin (Michael Cooper Jr.) Separate before going to university. Keisha branches and thrives, after high school, while Justin takes a sabbatical year to meet.
In the final, Keisha and Justin cross after division. They enjoy an emotional dinner but move away once again, in good terms. This was a deviation from the source material of the program – Judy BlumeThe 1975 novel of the same name, which did not have such a hopeful end.
Simone, 26, said exclusively Us Weekly She would not rule out Keisha and Justin gathering in the future, saying: “I have hope. I am like,” Nobody connects again with their first love? “Even if it doesn’t last forever, maybe in the near future.”
Cooper Jr. had a similar perspective about where Keisha and Justin are going here.
“I have hopes. I think that [they need] Some separate time so that they can grow independently. Because Justin is now discovering its meaning. ” User. “He is discovering his music and I want to see him grow, develop and enter the man who wants to be.”

The actor highlighted the benefits of the fictitious couple “growing individually,” adding: “Hopefully we can see them nourish their friendship, and then potentially, perhaps and hopefully, they reach each mentality.”
Although they discuss the future potential of the program, Simone made it clear that “she would be interested” in playing Keisha again.
“I would love to see what it becomes. I would love to see what I would teach me,” he said. “[But] I also like that end because it is not the end forever, it was a very mature stop point for both of us. I feel that they were in places of their lives where they said: ‘Hey, maybe this will not be useful for the things I have to consider and do for myself in this part of my life. “
Blume’s version or Forever It is carried out in New Jersey and the adolescents of the Katherine and Michael centers. Showrunner Mara Brock AkilThe adaptation of Los Angeles develops in 2018 when two young athletes become the first loves of the other.
“Forever really was a story that the child proven times and remained true. The love for adolescents seems like a child like that, so it is great to see that we are now in a new era and this is a reimagination, but only in an era completely different.” It is good to see it renewed a little. We are still honest with the book and honest with the points I was trying to do there. “
Cooper Jr. praised Akil for how he adapted the material.
“She does such a beautiful job and there is so much connectivity for the people of our generation that they are necessarily not relatives with the original text. There are different access points, so I think it does really good,” he shared with User. “[Mara] I wanted to make a love story for angels, not only between two teenagers. Being in Los Angeles was really different. It also helps the character to the character we now know where they are in the sense of their environment and education. It helped me shape that essence. “
Forever It is currently being transmitted in Netflix.
