Netflix's 'Forever' Season 2 Production Begins with New Cast and Details Revealed Production on the second season of Netflix’s hit romantic drama Forever has officially commenced in Los Angeles, California, marking a significant milestone for the series. The 8-episode season, which began filming in mid-March, is set to run through September 10, 2026, with an anticipated 2027 release date. The return to Los Angeles was confirmed by the California Film Commission in November, alongside plans to film in Martha’s Vineyard, which will benefit from a government-funded tax credit of $22.1 million. This production timeline coincides with the show’s one-year anniversary on Netflix, where its first season debuted on May 8, 2025. The series, created by Mara Brock Akil, has already established itself as a major success for Netflix. Season 1 spent four weeks in the platform’s global top 10, accumulating 103.2 million viewing hours and 15.9 million completed views. The second season promises to expand on the story of Justin and Keisha, whose relationship and personal growth have been central to the series. A new logline for the season teases a significant time jump: “Can exes really be friends? Four years later, Justin and Keisha are doing pretty well post-pandemic—new relationships, real jobs, and adulting their big dreams—that is… until they run into each other summer 2023.” The cast of Forever Season 2 includes returning series regulars Lovie Simone, Michael Cooper Jr., Karen Pittman, Wood Harris, and Xosha Roquemore. New additions to the ensemble include Malaika Guttoh as a series regular playing Ameena, Avery Wills Jr. (known for Swagger and Shooting Stars) as recurring guest star Jaden, and Tre McBride (from Fight for ‘84) as recurring guest star Elijah.#netflix #los_angeles #martha_vineyard #forever #mara_brock_akil
