OFFICIAL DATE ANNOUNCEMENT & FIRST LOOK

FOREVER

On Netflix May 8, 2025

Today, Netflix released the first official images from Mara Brock Akil's FOREVER - a modern day reimagining of Judy Blume's groundbreaking 1975 novel. The epic Black romance story set in the heart of Los Angeles will premiere globally on May 8th, 2025. Get a first look at the new series below.

Quote from FOREVER Creator, Showrunner, Executive Producer and Writer, Mara Brock Akil, as told to TUDUM.COM:

"I've always credited Judy Blume as part of the seasoning of my voice as a writer. She was one of the first writers I read that dared to be honest about the human condition in young people and you can see traces of her writing style within my own."

"What better metaphor for this love story than what LA represents, for not only me, but a lot of people," Brock Akil says. "LA is a place for dreamers, and chasing dreams is no different than chasing love, it comes with the highs, the lows, the epic and the intimate."
