Forever season two is underway!
Netflix shared on Friday (May 8) that the series is going into production on the upcoming second season in Los Angeles, nearly a year after it was announced to be renewed.
“Season 2 of Forever is in production and we are home — back in Los Angeles, back inside a love story that keeps revealing itself. This time, through friendship. Because when you’re standing at the edge of adulthood, staring into the abyss, it’s your real ones you want to run back to. Every choice feels final, even though it’s your first time being truly grown. We are thrilled to be back, diving deeper into love’s most complicated question– is forever truly forever?” – showrunner/creator Mara Brock Akil, Tudum
